There are still several OC/DC jobs but it looks like the head coaching jobs are all filled.

Now we can feedback on good and bad hires.

USCe-filled Will Muschamp
USCw-filled Clay Helton
Miami-filled Mark Richt
Maryland-filled DJ Durkin
Central Florida-filled Scott Frost
Illinois- filled Bill Cubit
North Texas-filled Seth Luttrell
Minnesota-filled Tracy Claeys
Virginia Tech-filled Justin Fuente
Hawaii- filled Nick Rolovich
Missouri-filled Barry Odom
Louisiana-Monroe-filled Matt Viator
Iowa State-filled Matt Campbell
Syracuse-filled Dino Babers
Memphis-filled Mike Norvelle
Tulane-filled Willie Fritz
Toledo-filled Jason Candle
Virginia-filled Bronco Mendenhall
Georgia-filled Kirby Smart
Rutgers- filled Chris Ash
East Carolina-filled Scottie Montgomery
BYU-filled Kalani Sitake
Bowling Green- filled Mike Jinks
Georgia Southern-filled Tyson Summers

My 3 winners are VT, Miami, and Syracuse
honorable mention Iowa State and Virginia(VA has to recruit and I'll have to see how fast BM can build relationships on the east coast)

losers USCe, Minnesota, Illinois..not a big promote the interim coach guy

wait and see Georgia..only guy I would have given that job to without HC experience would be Smart USCw-that's a big program for a guy getting his first HC job..but his Dad is a coach so it might lesson the curve

I'd add Virginia to that list of winners.

ETA: I saw the honorable mention, but Bronco can coach with what most would consider a somewhat more limited selection of players.

Missouri was a loser --- panicked or caved in and reinstated a drug addict QB already - I dont care I hope they finish last every year from now on. S Carolina a close 2nd --- Miami and Syracuse were the only decent hires --- Dont care much for the Kirby Smart hire since he has no HC experience

Well it's stopped unless the NFL were to hire a HC from a school.

Virginia is the biggest winner IMO, followed by Miami.

Those are the only 2 hires that are proven winners at the highest level. Curious to see what Babers (Syracuse) and Fuente (VT) do without their stud QBs. Smells like another Charlie Strong, Kevin Sumlin scenario to me.

And hopefully Kirby Smart's head explodes with the on the job training.

I'm not sure the reinstatement news was correct. The only ones reporting it were like sporting news and one newspaper. His dad had just said he wasn't transferring from University of Missouri and would still be attending the spring semester.

Maty Mauk's dad gives update on QB's status for next year

Maty Mauk remains a student at the University of Missouri and has no plans to transfer before next season, his father said Friday.

According to David Morrison of the Columbia Tribune, Mike Mauk, a high school football coach, passed along details about his son’s future.

Mauk is 17-5 as a starter at Missouri and played a key role in back-to-back SEC East titles. But a volatile 2015 season included an indefinite suspension that lasted one month, followed by another indefinite suspension.

Rumors swirled about Mauk’s off-field behavior. Reports backed that general idea, but did not provide many details.

Mike Mauk has been going through a public bout with cancer.

It will be interesting to see how coach Barry Odom handles the Mauk case. Drew Lock started the remainder of the season as a true freshman. If both players are on the roster during spring practice, new offensive coordinator Josh Heupel could have a serious quarterback competition to sift through.

The report that Mauk intends to remain enrolled at Missouri does not mean that he’s back on the team. But most assumed that Mauk immediately would transfer elsewhere, and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

(Not to mention there doesn't seem to be much more to the coke part besides message board rumor.)

Fox Sports reported he's back, using a tweet from Mizzou athletics saying as long as Mauk meets certain parameters, he'll be a part of the 2016 qb battle

I'm sorry but when Virginia, Syracuse, and Iowa State make better hires than South Carolina and Georgia then some AD's need to have their head examined; especially South Carolina

No doubt. I am still trying to figure out where they actually upgraded. They complained endlessly about Richt not being able to get them "over the hump" yet they now have really "upgraded" by wanting to retain a majority of his staff. Smart will be nothing more than a Pruitt clone and both were great recruiters. It's not as if Chaney is some great upgrade over Richt/Schotty.

...except that's incorrect. The tweet was from @mizzou_update, "THE ZOU" (the account itself says "Not affiliated with the University of Missouri"). It linked to Gabe DeArmond, one of the writers for PowerMizzou (Missouri’s Rivals.com site).

And DeArmond's report just mentions that same one article (that his dad said he wasn’t transferring) before going the whole “unnamed source” route.


Missouri’s official accounts include: @MizzouAthletics ("Mizzou Athletics”), @MizzouFootball ("Mizzou Football”), @Mizzou (Mizzou”), and @Coach_Odom (Barry Odom”).

If he were actually reinstated, it would be bizarre not only for none of those to have commented but for others in the larger sports media - such as ESPN’s SEC blog, which wrote multiple articles about Mauk because he’s likely the only player name Missouri's roster that both they and people actually know, or even just ESPN's Twitter - to have not picked up the story or written anything as well. It mostly seems to suggest either the story's not correct or it's poorly enough sourced that the major outlets can't verify it enough and won't touch it.

It’s likely that after the dad's news came out that Mauk would remain at the school through the spring semester - when everyone was predicting he would transfer - these presumed it must have meant he was back onto their football team already and rushed to report it first, when he might just as easily be doing something like staying another semester to graduate so that he could transfer without sitting a year (FoxSports, unfortunately, has also been a bit bad in the past about jumping the gun early).


(...and in hindsight, I'm not even sure what's being reported sounds like actual an reinstatement. Even if it were true, it pretty much sounds like a program supposedly saying "behave yourself and we'll consider reinstating you come spring/summer of the next season.")

Mauk is worse than the freshman so in terms of a football not sure what impact he will have but I hope he turns his life around. I have been down that road before and it is a tough one, life altering at best.

Nice list of the jobs and replacements...20% of all FBS jobs came open this year..I think that is the new norm.
