FSU appears it is close to announcing. There are rumblings that it will be Campbell.

Arky seems to be in pursuit of Kiffin.

Curious as to what happens with Mizzou

I would say Mike Norvell however he never seems to make it past the vetting process

I don't think Kiffin will go to Arkansas, I'm probably wrong however it doesn't seem like a good fit for his personality plus its impossible to recruit there

It's difficult without good ties to TX. Kiffin can recruit with the best so he might do well there. I could see Briles being a good fit there, maybe not now but in the next few years.

 

[Boston Vol]

Why in gods name would Norvell take the Mizzou job? He could do much better than that.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I would say Mike Norvell however he never seems to make it past the vetting process

I think that's because of the gambling problems Norvell has had to deal with in the past

Oklahoma will be needing a new coach on or about Jan 12.

Oh yeah? What has he been offered so far?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He going to Dallas?

 

[Boston Vol]

He could have had the ole miss job two years ago before they removed the interim tag from Luke. He declined because of the ncaa cloud that was hanging over the program’s head. I’m just saying a guy that’s having the kind of success that he’s having shouldn’t just jump at a job simply because it’s in the SEC. Missouri is not a good job. It’s probably the second worst job in the conference only ahead of vandy.

 

[superdave1984]

He going to Dallas?

Probably. I would say unless the Cowboys get to the SB (which they won't), Garrett is fired.

I will agree with you that its a bad job, they don't belong in the conference. I think Arkansas is a terrible job as well, ever been to Fayetteville?

 

[volfanbill]

just to be fair and accurate. Bobby Wilder resigned.

Taggart and Shane Beamer are top mentions.

I would think if Briles follows Kiffin to ARK, he could help recruit texas.

Fayetteville's a pretty nice town honestly, I don't think its the best in the SEC but that doesn't make it bad. Northwest Arkansas really is a lot nicer than the rest of the state

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Would be a slamdunk for Arky if it happened, IMO. Lane would jump ship after 3 years then Briles would take over.

Herman at Texas fires his OC & DC after going 7-5.

At Texas, he's on the hot seat. He's one and done next year if that 7-5 is not improved significantly.

 

[BUBear]

Not if he hired Baby Briles again. He would get two OCs (Art) in one and strong recruiting ties to Texas HS Football.

He's one and done next year entering his 4th season?

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Arkansas isn't as bad of a job as most think it is honestly. Good strong fan base and no professional sports teams in the state so fans are all in one Razorbacks. Good donor with deep pockets helps.

 

[OleRockyTop]

In Shocking news Chris Petersen just stepped down from Washington

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Wow. Petersen stepping down at Washington.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Petersen to USC confirmed?
