So what P5 is gonna hire Traylor?

[peanuts104]

Speculation, guesses, wild theories all welcome. This is the only constructive way I know how to express my pain. They won't hang onto him for long. Maybe West Virginia (I know they said they were keeping Neal Brown...but with Wren there now????)?

[outoftown]

Probably nobody this season, next season more likely. Last year the coaching carousel was complete carnage. This season it is very calm. Only two sitting HC got hired by someone else, and they are Luke Fickel and Hugh Freeze at Liberty. In my mind Liberty -who does have money - is actually the best shot for anyone to hire him this season as i could see it being a culture fit, but still not very likely. Colorado and Stanford are the only open P5s left - unless you count Cincinnati as it is on its way to the Big12 - none of which would look like Traylor would be a particular fit.

Was Frank Harris Traylor’s recruit?

This is where we are, and it's shameful.

Traylor derives much of his value from his Texas recruiting ties. Don’t know how well that translates to West Virgina or anywhere far from Texas. 
Traylor already turned down the third best coaching job in Texas. I can’t see him leaving for anything but a premier P5 gig. 
Probably next year when the Aggies finally fire Jimbo or if Sark has a .500 season. Another down year at OU could be interesting too.

I'm not sure his next stop will be atm/UT. More like OSU or Tech. 

You gotta remember, people don't pay attention to CUSA football and that includes HS football coaches, top flight recruits. He needs another stone to step on before he gets those offers, imo.

He has a NOTHING program in the Top 25. And he already turned down Texas Tech. He is front of the line for the biggest of biggest college football jobs.

It's not about convincing me, but the power brokers at UT and ATM.

Probably not but it is more important to who develops the players than who recruit them. Harris's game has stepped up greatly under JT as well of the play of many others.

Good point….

But he will have to replenish with his recruits here pretty soon. This is year 3 for him? 
 

not saying he won’t but…..we could have the same situation here. A good coach comes in and develops what’s (on paper) supposedly a talented, young roster

Get a good transfer QB in here and we can turn this around fairly quickly….

This will be key for UTSA next year. The current backup quarterback is not a good player.

I am sure they will find someone in the portal to take his place, mean while back at the ranch we will be sniffing for FCS players.

Frank Harris was recruited by Frank Wilson

[Billy Clyde]

He will be coaching UT eventually; it’s as clear as day.

HUD is going to be with stein in Oregon. Traylor will take Houston if atm doesn’t get him first

[MeanGreen4Life1998]

He’s probably next to take over at Texas A&M or Texas. I see those being the two jobs he’d really be after and cant see him wanting to leave Texas

$7 million buyout due to UTSA if he is hired away before January 1, 2023.

And after?

Edit to add: for what it's worth, I don't think that matters to any of the P5s in Texas, Oklahoma, or LSU (not that they're in the market). Any of the P5s around us would pay that buyout if it meant getting the right guy before another program gets him first. It's more to protect him from going to another G5.

Drops by $1M every January 1 until year 6.

Traylor's new contract includes a buyout of $7.5 million if he leaves UTSA before or during the first year of the contract, which begins Jan. 1, 2022. It drops to $7 million in the second year, then by a million each year until the sixth year. Between then and season 10, he would be responsible for 25% of all of his remaining compensation.

K-State allegedly wanted Seth after the 2018 season and he hadn’t won a CUSA trophy.  If anyone thinks the big boys aren’t looking at JT after back to back CUSA ships, they are fooling themselves!
