If that is their guy LOL

I can tell you who is a corch by who they hire when their back is against the wall like that. Go back to your "coaching tree" and hire someone you know and like, corch.

Rethink your ideologies, survey the landscape, hire an up and comer or innovative guy? Probably going to get it figured out. Might miss that hire but eventually it will get right. Mario dropped Gattis and went and got the anti-Gattis. Even Manny completely changed course and fired Enos and went and got Lashlee.

Chip Long, Tim Beck, Mike Bobo, Dan Enos, Jim Chaney, Andy Ludwig, etc. I'm sure the list goes on. How these guys keep getting jobs is crazy.

Wasn’t Ludwig somewhat coveted by this board or Mario? I honestly can’t remember.

You articulate this concept much better than I could...I'd just end up ranting into the abyss.

You know what you got when your guy starts having to dig into his couch cushions to find his old buddy's numbers and those old pals are relics of the past. Guys who know ball, but are good ol boys who the game passed by.

Game of football changes rapidly these days and the guys you listed out - plus many others - aren't playoff level coaches these days.

These are guys that should be in the G5 now, or FCS, or doing something else and working at high schools or middle school teaching fundamentals of the game or something.

Golden will get a HC job this year. A reunion at Temple or Virginia might give him a look. He was on Al Groh’s staff back in the day.

Agree Golden get a HC job if he wants it. I see him more of a Big 10 guy like Purdue or Maryland if those jobs open up. Purdue is a complete mess. UVA could be in the mix if they move on from Elliott which I am not sure they will yet.

Hearing Mack Brown is going to hang it up. Virginia is exploring the idea of moving on from Tony Elliott but he could salvage his job by beating SMU and/or VT and going to a bowl. Then, VT is expected to fire Brent Pry unless he wins the next 2 games. A loss to Duke and/or Virginia is likely it for him. They're not riding out a bad coach again like they did with Fuente (at least that is what their boosters say).

3 of the top 7-8 jobs in the ACC. Curious to see how those fill up if they all come open. Carolina will have plenty of options and land a good coach. Virginia has had a lot of interest the last 2 times it has opened. Elliott wasn't a nobody at the time he was hired. They might land someone pretty solid. VT has the best pedigree of all 3 but doesn't have near the same interest in the coaching community lately.

If big jobs open up, Brent Key will be in high demand. If he leaves his alma mater, that's another program in decent shape.
