Probably, ND has a tradition in that they don't like to be seen as firing coaches, they just do not renew their contracts. Seems Kelly's is just about up, if he's not gone this year, he's gone next year fo' sho. If Urban does not beat Michigan this year, his chest will begin acting up again and he'll seek divine intervention at Notre Dame after Kelly is my prediction.

So...since Brian Kelly is soon to be out at ND...and Butch has a penchant for being Kelly's successor, is Butch leaving for ND soon?

Les Miles --- Oregon or ND
Brian Kelly--- NFL
WV Head Coach --- Auburn
Gus --- Oregon or another PAC 12

Yeah.. I'm calling it now

Where's Mahlzan originally from? Wonder if there is a big time job open near his home. That could carry some weight.

Makes sense, Malzahn doesn't have to deal with Bama. Given his roots, Les at ND is a total possibility...probably #1 on his list. Best choice for any of these vacancies, IMO would be Greg Schiano. He worked miracles while at Rutgers and he spent this year on Urban's defensive staff.

Gus is from the Ft. Smith, Arkansas area. Don't see him taking over in Fayetteville anytime in the near future after the way he left there (as their OC) when Houston Nutt was the HC...but money talks so it could be possible someday.

All the dominoes will begin to fall when Herman decides what he wants to do regarding TX or LSU. If Herman goes TX, if LSU can't get Jimbo then they will keep Coach O. Next in line will be Miles.

Will any of these guys be back next year?: Brian Kelly, Charlie Strong, Jim Mora Jr., Rich Rod, Tuberville, Kingsbury, Todd Graham

ASU already said its not dismissing Graham. Kelly and Rich Rod will get a Mulligan this year, same with Mora Jr. (UCLA lost Rosen, so he has a scapegoat). I think we know what will happen with Strong. Of the list, I think he'll be the only one gone.

Strong has already been fired, they just haven't made an official announcement...will be good for us, Saban talk will startup again and maybe it will make some of their recruits start looking elsewhere.

Saban would never go to Texas-- no matter the truckloads of money involved-- because their boosters wouldn't give him complete control of the school and state. Boosters are too involved at Texas for a Saban type coach.

If Texas cant get Herman maybe Dabo leaves since Clemson is losing another bunch of key players to the draft --- imo LSU might go after Dabo as it is --- all the talk about him 'waiting' for the Alabama job is a joke (just like Muschump supposedly was the coach in waiting at Texas)

If I was Texas Or LSU I'd go after Dabo before anyone else.

Someone no one is talking about as a HC is Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma OC. He was the OC at E. Carolina and has turned Oklahoma back into a top 10 offense the last two years. Not sure where he lands, but at 33, I think he is going to be a good one someday.

Let's look at the G5 coaches that would be in play for teams this year. Or at least those that have proven themselves to turn programs around and win:

Tom Herman (Houston)
Scott Satterfield (Appy State)
PJ Fleck (West Michigan)
Ken Niumatalolo (Navy)
Bryan Harsin (Boise State)
Rocky Long (San Diego State)
Willie Taggart (South Florida)

Of those, you know there will be a bidding war for Herman. Perhaps PJ Fleck will move into a P5 job as well. I don't think Rocky Long will take on the challenge of rebuilding a program at his age.

But who else moves up? And who does LSU go after? I don't see Ed O being considered, but I could be wrong.

If Herman leaves, could see him at Houston or Arizona or Perhaps Les could convince hom to join if he lands P5.

Besides Herman, I think the rest of those names stays put. Except for Texas and LSU, I don't see another opening at an attractive school to pull the younger coaches this year.

I'd say Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Arizona and Oregon as well. All well paying jobs with potential openings for an up and coming coach. Actually, in the case of Texas Tech, they might want someone a little older and more experienced than Coach Bro.

I'd be surprised if ND, Arizona or Oregon open up this year. I don't know anything about TT. I can. see Jimbo leaving FSU for LSU which would open up FSU. Then, more dominos could fall. I could be wrong but I think this will be a relatively quiet carousel this year as pressure builds for a wilder ride next year.

I think Herman is #1 on LSU and Tx's list...which is the better job? I think LSU if you can ride it out till Saban retires. Don't have as much in-state competition for recruits like you would at Tx.

If Helfrich wins against Org State, he is safe. Otherwise Knight will look elsewhere.

Hey OP can you do something for us if this is going to be the off season coaching change thread? Can you put the open jobs in the original post so we can easily see who went where and which ones are still open?

LSU
Texas
Baylor
Georgia State
Purdue
not sure if I've missed any or not
