Not as high as you think. There's a Fuentes every year, and the vast majority don't live up to the biling.

Really? What makes you think Fuente isn't good as billed? He's a guy I would hate to have in the SEC and I hope he takes the USCw or Texas job :)

Am I missing something? Ferrall(CBS sports guy with raspy voice) said that he has heard that Strong and Richt both want the Miami job. I also read that Franklin is interested..is this uni or agent talk to build up the program? He also said that Richt is gone this year and that Miami wants someone with ties to program(former player or coach) So would that mean Cristobal or Richt are the leaders?

Chip Kelly and Richt top wish list.

HG...you don't think Kelly or Richt would be interested in the U job, do you?

Not Chip but I really could see a scenario where CMR leaves UGA and lands at UM.


A few of their insiders state Richt, Cristabol, Strong and Davis are the names that have the most legs.

Strong is looking at maybe another 2-3 losses. If he goes 5-7, 4-8, he's a goner.

But he won't stay unemployed for long.

Pretty dramatic difference in facilities, fanbases, atmosphere, etc., for CMR and Strong.

IF Tx comes open things will get interesting very quickly.

Jimbo Fisher, Herman and Fuente would probably top their list.


Herman and Fuente both have B12 and Tx ties but would their BOT want another upstart.

Strong being available could pit UM and SC in a bidding war.

USC is going to hire a SC guy unless Chip Kelly wants in. Rumor that Clay Helton may end up being there guy.


If Jan is silly season for recruiting this offseason coaching search will be insane.

I cannot in any remote way envision Richt and Miami being a good fit. If you go back to Miami's hey day, its not because of the fine institution it is (it isn't), or their deep and loyal alumni (they have very little of that). Its swagger. Its being able to recruit lights out from the communities where athletes abound and want to show off in an environment of virtually no accountability.

And their coaches, when they were good, if they didn't exactly match that swagger and attitude, they at at least promoted it. Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson more than tolerated criminality and a sense of being out of control. They welcomed it.

Richt is the exact opposite of what made Miami great under the only circumstances where it can ever be great, again. You might as well put Tebow in charge of an all prison team. Sure, you'll get a few fake converts, but in the end the personality of the coach of the Miami Hurricanes has to at some level reflect what that renegade program has to be about, and that ain't Mark Richt.

Would be an abysmal failure.

Texas is about the worst fanbase in the country for "want it right now" expectations out of a coach. According to most Texas fans, Rome was built in a day. And why? Because Texas. They have yet to come to terms that in state athletes aren't making Texas their first choice anymore when you have plenty of other schools performing far better.

Strong could right the ship and bring back the power to the brand. Or as a minimum bring back balance in the State. There is a lot of rot that's still being burned out, but as impatient as Texas fans are he will never get that chance before they can him.

And he'll fall right into the waiting hands of another P5 program that would be more than happy to have him.

I bet Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey becomes coach of the Illinois Fighting Illini in 2016. He's the kind of coach who could do something good there.

Excellent point. From what I have read of Charlie Strong, this reasoning would exclude him as well. I believe that I read that the NFL even consulted with Charlie Strong on character and accountability.

Lane Kiffin: Stewart Mandel of Fox Sports noted today that he is not hearing of any Power 5 interest in Lane Kiffin as a head coach

Interesting:

Georgia: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution notes that Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity began a process of waiving buyout clauses for veteran head coaches in 2012. The details of Mark Richt’s latest contract are not known, but his previous deal called for about $1 million owed per each remaining year. The paper also cited multiple sources saying defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt has been a “source of friction” in the department. Both Pruitt and Richt have denied that.
