G5 Coaches likely to move to P5 jobs

[El Paso Eagle]

I think Freeze is the most likely, but all three could get have a new home soon

Chadwell seems more likely, but Napier as well.

With his salary and buyout he will be easy pickings if someone wants him

As great of a job as Chadwell is doing this year, he's 17-16 overall at CC. I see him more of a candidate for a raise than someone I would want to sell to my bosses if I'm a P5... but stranger things have happened.

He's also had some trouble at Charleston Southern that led to them having to vacate something like 20 wins, so it's a bit more complicated than his current record.

Freeze will be a little more expensive. New contract thru 2026 and supposidly 2+ million a year...wonder what his buy out is?

[Green Dozer]

I think Freeze is really happy where he is.  If you look at his background, he fits perfectly.  I wonder if Seth Littrell wishes he had concentrated on the business at hand his first couple of years here instead of having one foot out the door worrying or trying to move up.

Freeze is a character risk, Napier’s been knocking on the door longer than Chadwell so I voted Bill.

Napier will be a hot commodity for sure.

I think Seth had his hopes on Lincoln getting the Cowboys gig, and Seth getting on at his alma mater, even as an assistant. When that ship sailed this summer, I think it kicked Seth in the nuts.

Napier was staying because he didn't get offered.

Word is Greg Sankey has been adamant to presidents around the league that they want absolutely nothing to do with Freeze. Saban was all set to make him OC at the Saban School for Wayward Coaches and Sankey got him to back out.

Beyond the moral failings which one might have thought would matter to Liberty there was a lot of bad stuff going on in recruiting at Ole Miss and he showed his character when he called six reporters and lied to them claiming almost all the troubles happened under Nutt and things would be OK which ran right before signing day when in reality the violations under Nutt were mostly dumb minor things. There were numerous allegations tied to Freeze that the NCAA couldn't prove to the satisfaction of the committee on violations but were thought to be true that didn't become public.

Freeze would be the logical hire for Tennessee but will they cross their commissioner? Freeze is making $2 million he isn't leaving unless its a prestige job, he's not going to go and be the latest best hope to build a program that's been on its back forever.

As to Chadwell. There aren't an abundance of AD's who are going to throw 7 figures at an option coach. Vandy might do it but only someone who sees no other path to success is going option because the fans want to see the hoochie in the air and be excited by big throws and catches not seven minute TD drives because most fans are ignorant of what good football really looks like.
