You couldn't pay me to live in LA or California, for that matter, due to their political leadership

I couldn’t agree with you more.  And I guess political leadership(?) is the reason for the extremely high taxes in CA.

Bull shit. He got a great opportunity and took it, like Hayden did when he went to Iowa in the middle of the night.

It's starting to be wide spread knowledge that Riley wanted no part of the SEC and even went as far as advocating against it. Knowing that and not even being but a few months away from that announcement happening, take it for what you will.

I’d have Carthel high up on my list if I were them.

I’m hoping his love of Texas will keep him at SFA until we are ready for him.

Honestly, if Carthel is the coach we think he could be, it would be nice for him to cut his teeth in FBS at LATech, who'd likely pay him around $500-750K/yr.   If he does well there, and we happen to be in the market, we could almost quadruple his salary as we are now.  Plus he'd get a step up to the AAC instead of C-USA... climbing the ladder!

I think he'd do really well in Ruston with his EastTX connections.

I can't say that I blame him. In the PAC 12 he just has to beat Oregon. In the SEC He is looking at A&M ,Arkansas, Mississippi, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, etc. Plus living is L.A. vs Norman has its pluses.Maybe you are right.However coaches usually leave for greener pastures and a lot more money. Any word on the fate of Harrell/

Noticed where Sunny D was able to take both of his best recruiters (Samples and Riley) with him to TCU

I thought TCU rubbed Patterson's face on the dirt when they flew Sonny into the stadium  on a helicopter with fireworks, but hey, that's just me.

has this year seen more hc changes than usual or have I just been paying more attention.

Not really as you have to make the new coach the center of all attention for recruits, transfers and player retention. The King is dead, long live the King.

Wow, I guess it just the tis season for coach changes in NCAA football. Maybe it just started earlier this year which makes it seem like a lot more????

A lot more big names moving on without being forced out.

Partly true. The number isn't really much higher yet than in other years yet. However, the openings are not all done yet at currently 22 I think.

i) two three schools may fire their coaches after bowl games. Who knows if this could be the case for UNT for example.

 ii) some of the current openings are at schools with powerful jobs, which may pluck sitting HCs from elsewhere which may then pluck HCs from further down the hierarchy. For example if OU gets Venable, Baylor opens and is likely taking a G5 HC, depending on which G5, they may again turn around and take someone elses coach. Similiarly if ND takes Fickell. Vtech and several other P5 jobs are also still open.

i can see it getting to 30 easily.

Looks like ND will hire their defensive coordinator, Marcus Freeman as their HC

Another coach out
Colorado State: Steve Addazio will not return as Colorado State's head coach, sources tell FootballScoop.

I think the early signing period has something to do with the earlier coaching changes? One of our recruiting gurus can answer better than I can

[Wag Tag]

OU has contacted Matt Rhule.

And retain Rees as OC. Kind of telling on Kelly that he couldn't convince either of his coordinators to join him in Baton Rouge.

I don't know about that.  Why would Freeman turn down arguably the most prestigious HC gig in the country to be an assistant at LSU?  And Rees is a ND alum.

Colorado State just fired their head coach:

Steve Addazio out as CSU football coach after 16 games

Steve Addazio’s time as Colorado State football coach is done after 16 games.

The 62-year-old veteran coach has been let go by the school Thursday, less than a week after the Rams ended the 2021 season.

Multiple sources told the Coloradoan that the team met with athletic director Joe Parker at 11 a.m., and those sources confirm the staff was pulled off the road recruiting. 

CSU announced the move shortly after 11 a.m.
