Well, it’s that time of year again. The chopping blocks are out. And coaches who sort of failed elsewhere become wunderkinds anew creating great and often unwarranted expectations of future success.
Was sort of surprised Texas pulled the trigger on Herman especially after the blow out bowl game win against CU. Texas doesn’t suffer no fools. His buyout is reportedly 15M plus another 10M? for the assistants. Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark. Sark is a good OC, but I wouldn’t hire him as a HC.
The rumor is Michigan will give Harbaugh a 6? year extension. If true, not bad for a guy who can’t beat OSU or Michigan State and had a horrible 2020 with 2? whole wins. It seems most Michigan fans want him gone but Michigan’s AD apparently attended the “Blake James’ School Of Coaching Hires And Contracts.”
Not sure how Rumph still has a job given his recruiting woes. I assume he is an adequate posiiton coach but he has totally whiffed at recruiting CB’s this year.
How about Bielema getting another HC gig (Illinois). Wild.
Just another example where even terrible experience is valued over no experience. Also WTH are some of these schools thinking? Illinois will never be a conference powerhouse, just hire randos for cheap to keep it interesting.
