2024/2025 Coaching Carousel

[stolitonic]

Might as well consolidate everything into one thread.

For some reason, this seems like it may be one of the more calm off seasons

Here are the ones I know about/remember having already taken place-

UNC moves on from Mack Brown
FAU let's Tom Hermann go
Jim McElwain stepping down at Central Michigan

 

[Boston Vol]

Fresno State
Tulsa
Charlotte
Temple
Southern Miss
Ball State

 

[Boston Vol]

I would guess that West Virginia would open up early next week.

 

[WillisWG]

Is Pittman in trouble?

Is Pittman in trouble?

I don’t think so. They’re already reached bowl eligibility. Most preseason prognostications had them as a 4-5 win team. So they’ve actually exceeded expectations. It won’t be entirely shocking if they moved on, but I think it’s expected that he’ll be back next year.

Same situation with Gundy at OkSt

Same situation with Gundy at OkSt

This year is his first season since 2005 that he won't go bowling. In what world would Gundy be at risk of his job? lol

OSU would have to pay like $25m to buy him out

Neal ****ing sucks but him getting bowl eligibility keeps the complacent program complacent. He should be fired more than any coach in cfb due to the hatred of fans, **** results, Dooley clone personality, yet I'm sure we let him stay "another year" to go 6-6 and keep the cycle going. If they wanted to be serious they'd go all in on having Saban involve himself with WVU unofficially and get Rich Rod back in (he is forgiven for leaving)

He’s a man. He’s 40!!!!

Dude, they went 3-9 and lost their last 9

I mean it wouldn't shock me if they kept him I guess, but this seems to be the time.

 

[Firebirdparts]

I don't know what to think about OSU at 3-9. Gundy coached there for 20 years now and his total record is really quite good. But yet this is the worst year ever for him.

 

[OneVolNation]

He gets a pass.

 

[SpookyAction]

Gundy has earned a lot of grace in Stillwater. He is the man until he has a few more losing seasons.

 

[VolCalls]

They didn’t even show up today. Bet their AD and biggest boosters are beyond pissed.

Pittman gets to return to Knoxville next season.

 

[MHS Rebel]

But a 3-9 season prevents Gundy from playing that "pay me or I'm gone game" that he plays every year.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

Pittman gets to return to Knoxville next season.

I hope UT runs the score up on them next year in Neyland if they have the chance.

 

[JMSqb11]

I'll be honest, I will gladly thank Arkansas with a close game that we ultimately win after the gift they gave us this season. We take care of business today and that Arkansas loss will be a blessing in disguise.

 

[YankeeVol]

Same situation with Gundy at OkSt

Gundy ain't going anywhere LOL

 

[Dudleys87]

Gundy ain't going anywhere LOL

I’m sure that’s true but the man that had the final say isn’t alive so I’m sure there are some talks.

Not after one bad year. Now if it happens again next year, that's a different story.

Are you a fellow Mason?

I can agree with the firing part. If it happens again next year I think the seat gets hot.

I think they'd make the change if it happens again

 

[Dudleys87]

I think they'd make the change if it happens again

But not if Pickens was alive.
