ScottyIce Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 There is a real chance that this is the list of available coaches at the end of this season: Les Miles ✅ Mark Helfrich Charlie Strong David Shaw Tom Herman Gus Mulzahn Clay Helton Brian Kelly Bob Stoops And I'm not interested in any of them. Just riled up about Riley! 3 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Stoops and Shaw won't get fired. Herman won't be fired but I think he will take a different job. 1 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 lol I know herman won't be fired, just saying he will be available. I forgot to add Mora Jr. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 A lot of those guys in the OP who will likely be fired this year were the hottest coaches in the land within the past couple of years. Funny that. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 A lot of those guys in the OP who will likely be fired this year were the hottest coaches in the land within the past couple of years. Funny that. Yea I agree with this. I think Stoops and Kelly stay though, and I wonder who USC gets if Helton gets canned. Herman will probably stay, but anything can happen with the coaching business. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I guess I only consider a coach available if he's fired or resigns. Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Helton seems like he's righted the ship a little bit. USC has won 2 in a row---pasting ASU and squeaking by Colorado. As long as they finish .500, I think he gets another year. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Only way Herman stays (IMO) is if Houston gets added to the BIGXXII. Quote Link to comment
GBRHouston Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Charlie Strong is gone and I think he'll go to a G5 school. Herman seemed intent to stay in Houston last year and I'm not so sure that will change much this year. Helfrich finishes below .500 and he's gone. Same with Kelly, Helton, Gus, and Mora. Shaw and Stoops are fine. OU could still win the Big XII. Quote Link to comment
TAKODA Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I think Mike Gundy may be open to a new path as well. IMO Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think Mike Gundy may be open forced to a new path as well. IMO FIFY 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think Mike Gundy may be open to a new path as well. IMO Agree. Living in Tulsa I see and hear stories of major donor Boone Pickens being on Gundy all of the time for not beating OU more often. I think it is getting pretty old and Mike gets tired of answering questions concerning Boone's comments. Quote Link to comment
sho Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 There is a real chance that this is the list of available coaches at the end of this season: Les Miles ✅ Mark Helfrich Charlie Strong David Shaw Tom Herman Gus Mulzahn Clay Helton Brian Kelly Bob Stoops And I'm not interested in any of them. Just riled up about Riley! Looking at your list, I think Gus and Stoops are safe for another year. I'll add Mora to your list. UCLA is a trainwreck right now. He's had one foot out the door for years, I think the AD gives the nudge and goes in a new direction. You could potentially have these historically significant schools looking for coaches, plus all the other middle of the road P5 schools (Missouri, Tennessee, Kansas, Kansas State (Snyder is going to retire again soon) Georgia Tech and Virginia could all have openings as well) USC UCLA Notre Dame Texas LSU If those 5 are looking, Herman would be stupid to stay at Houston. And you might see someone like Frost only last at UCF for one year before moving up to a bigger level school. Should be a crazy off season starting here in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment

Virginia literally just hired Bronco Mendenhall so that's not happening. USC found a quarterback and is rolling right now, couldn't see them going through another coaching change. UCLA is having a bad year, but only way Mora is leaving is if for whatever reason a NFL team hires him. Rosen is hurt and will be back next year that'll certainly buy Mora another season. Notre Dame, I just don't see Brian Kelly getting fired but then again Auburn fired Gene Chizik a couple years after WINNING the national title, so who knows. That leaves LSU and Texas as the most likely landing spots for Tom Herman. Honestly, with how the LSU administration handled Les Miles last season, and with Texas being a mess, I wouldn't want to go to either of those schools if I was Herman. He's a young guy, only 41 and with the way he's been recruiting at Houston he'll continue to have success there. He can be patient and wait for the perfect opportunity to come up, maybe when Saban retires and takes over Bama, or if Harbaugh leaves for the NFL and takes Michigan, maybe takes over Meyer at Ohio St, or even Bob Stoops at Oklahoma. Coaches like a chance to succeed, but they also appreciate stable administrations Quote Link to comment
