Will be interesting with already a few big gigs out there in Texas, Ole Miss and Notre Dame. I think there is a pretty good chance Terry gets the gig at Texas. Can always expect a few other big programs to open up before long.

Chris Beard to Ole Miss is gaining some traction. It will be interesting to see how quickly they move on him given the current situation with Texas Tech and Mark Adams (currently suspended for inappropriate racially-insensitive remarks). Beard is beloved in Lubbock, and their fans would likely welcome him back with open arms in Adams is cut loose.

I can't help but wonder what the UNC faithful are thinking.

Their AD is getting some heat, I doubt he could make that hire.

Other potential opening:

Ohio State
Georgia Tech
Washington
Oregon State
Vandy
Florida State
Georgetown
Cal
Louisville

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Mississippi is giving Barn a run for its money as far as win at any cost goes. But nobody wants to be a conference bottom feeder.

Yeah, it would definitely be a rogue gamble for an AD under fire.

Most interesting name making the rounds at Idaho is Kermit Davis. The former head coach at Ole Miss (fired last month), and MTSU (2002-18), also had two previous stints as the head coach at Idaho. He led the Vandals from 1988-90 and then again from 1996-97. Another name here is Kris “Bucket” Baumann. He’s an Idaho alum who is currently 28-2 as the head coach at JUCO Odessa College, and has had a ton of success there over the past 5 seasons. Lasty, Long Beach State head coach Dan Monson’s name has been floated here – he’s another Idaho alum.

Early name gaining steam at Austin Peay is Morehead State assistant coach Scott Combs. The APSU alum has been at MSU for the past four seasons, and had a successful run as the head coach at NAIA Martin Methodist before that. He also spent 12-seasons as an assistant on Dave Loos’ staff at Austin Peay following his graduation.

I mentioned a few names at Green Bay yesterday. Multiple guys telling me to add Bradley associate head coach Jimmie Foster to the list. He had been an assistant at GB for five seasons before following Brian Wardle to Bradley. Two other interesting names are both current D1 head coaches – one who has been talked about a lot who had previous success in the league, and another former Wardle staffer who has had a very good season at his current spot. At least one of those two guys is chasing it “hard.”

The obvious hot early name at High Point is Tennessee associate head coach Justin Gainey. He’s a high Point native who played at NC State, and also worked at Marquette, Arizona, Santa Clara, App State, and Elon.

Would obviously miss his NC connections, but I'm not sure how much he brings as developer or scout.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Not sure if already mentioned but there’s about a 95% chance Gainey will be getting the High Point opening

 

[cncchris33]

Not sure we'll miss his coaching, but it will hurt losing his NC connections, and I'd assume he's our connection with Juke Harris.

Very much so, so that could be something to watch as far as timeframe goes.

That’s unfortunate, but just part of it, I guess.

There's a lot of chatter about TT coach being a jerk to everyone, beyond his Bible quoting remarks. After losing Beard, expectations were quite high and he hasn't met them, making boosters and fans at best ambivalent about him staying. A lot want him gone.

I wonder if Louisville will give Kenny Payne a second season.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I wonder if Louisville will give Kenny Payne a second season.

I imagine they will but what a first season at a powerhouse program.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Not fired yet by ETSU, but I think that Desmond Oliver can be dropped from the list of possible Barnes replacements.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Not sure we'll miss his coaching, but it will hurt losing his NC connections, and I'd assume he's our connection with Juke Harris.

This isn't meant to be offensive, but I won't miss Gainey. We became worse as a ln offensive team, kind of brutal honestly

 

[Vols till I fall]

Yup, people got to stop with the "oh, he was a good assistant coach for Tennessee,he will make a great HC."

 

[Vols till I fall]

I imagine they will but what a first season at a powerhouse program.

I'd also think they would give him another season only because of his connection with the program.

What a disaster though. Brandon Huntley Hatfield really made the right decision there

I'm not sure why Green Bay made the cut in this update you sent over, but as a former season ticket holder (and annoyed to see the program fall on hard times), I sincerely appreciate the update!

Add McNeese State to openings

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Earlier in the week, I mentioned former Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis as a potential name at Idaho (Daily Dirt 3/7). Scratch that one – he is definitely not in the mix.
