2023-24 Coaching Carousel
- Thread starter Leonard23
- Start date
That sounds like a good name. See if he can take it up a notch with more resources.
Brian Lindgren probably is the frontrunner
A name being bandied about is Bret Vigen from Montana State
Lindgren was my first thought when Smith talk to MSU started
Beating Louisville increases his chances , in which I felt he was in second tier of who A&M would go after.
I still feel Traylor of UTSA will get the job
Nobody worth their salt wants to coach in College Station
Play in the SEC against multiple big time programs for a historically mediocre program with an insane, cult fanbase
Stoops can stay at UK with little pressure at a bball centric school, parlay this newfound interest from other programs into a nice pay raise, and wait for a better option to become available
Chasing money and not valuing the job you have can end in misery. Smart move by Stoops. He does not need to "stoop" to the Aggies level.
Actually besides the money, A&M might not be that desirable

Black Sunday upon us. Who gets fired next? I'm think Chip Kelly gets handed a pink slip at UCLA as they're going to go after Jedd Fisch at Arizona.
Nothing about that place is resembles anything desirable
The textbook definition of hole
Exactly. The grass isn't always greener, even if the $ is. I see this all the time in other jobs. People jumping for more $ only to be miserable at their next job or lose it in 12-18 months. I value quality of life, happiness and stability over more money.
Coaching is a crazy thing. A lot of these guys make awesome money and basically only need to win 2-3 key games per year. They don’t even really need to recruit too much since the school pedigree and assistants get the recruits. But, no job is perfect and eventually even if you can stay forever you need a change.
I’m interested to see how long Lanning sticks after this year in Oregon. By all accounts he (and family) loves it and he’s winning. Sure that could change moving to B1G but it’s also a consistent pathway to the playoff now, which wasn’t always the case on the P12.

I think IU could be a possible landing spot for Jason Candle.
If Mullen is rumored at the Cuse, maybe IU as well.
Willie Fritz or Curt Cignetti maybe

He was pretty definitive in saying he’s not leaving Oregon when the A&M rumors popped up. Wouldn’t be the first coach to do the opposite of what he said though lol.
He’s at the Nike school and has whatever he needs to compete so don’t know that he’d leave. The last two coaches Taggart and Cristobal left to go “home” and it was probably better off for Oregon that they did lol.
Been there, done that. I'm happy slogging away in our small office, with no politics, nonsense or distractions that can be found at larger organizations. I could go home richer somewhere else, but highly doubt I would go home happier. I tell my kids that the 2-3 years that were most miserable in my career were the years I made the most money.
IndyStar's list of candidates to replace Allen.
Lot of the usual suspects plus a few other IU specific names:

Ryan Grubb the Washington OC is another name I’ve seen for IU.
DeBoer was IU OC for Allen for 1 year, wonder what he might tell his long time assistant about it and if he’d recommend it if they come looking.
