Frustrated Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Who are we really competing against? Florida Tennessee Ole Miss Oregon State Georgia Southern UTEP I think the line falls between Ole Miss and the rest, but things just got interesting in Arkansas. There's going to be a bunch more coaching changes in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment

tyrone_biggums Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 No one will want to coach at Ole Miss for a while due to sanctions. Arkansas sounds like they are about to embark on a coaching search with no AD and it is Arkansas. I'd say our only competition is Florida and Tennessee right now. Maybe once/if A&M opens up.

Frustrated Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Franklin went to Penn State in the midst of their sanctions, granted the NCAA began removing them during his first year, but still. Post season ban, scholarship restrictions... Not saying I think Ole Miss is going to be perceived as better (or on par) with us, just food for thought. It's a new era. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I really don't think we have competition. I don't know anymore than what all of you know, but I just feel like Frost is our next coach. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Craziness noted by 1620 just now. Currently in the $EC: Florida doesn't have a coach Tennessee doesn't have a coach Ole Miss has an interim coach Arkansas reportedly just fired their AD and their coach may not be far behind Texas A&M is on the fence with their coach Quote Link to comment

But, I don't think it's a factor much any more. Wasn't Alabama on sanctions when Saban took over? That didn't scare him away. Penn State was on sanctions and recovering from one of the worst scandals in college football history. That didn't scare their new coach away. If anything, if you take over a program with a couple years of sanctions, it gives the fans a reason to give you time to turn it around. Use scholarship limits to rid the program of non contributing players and if you're a good recruiter, load up on talent when the sanctions go away. Quote Link to comment

Dont forget that their current head coach was not the guy who took the job several years ago! Quote Link to comment

Was Franklin hired before or after the sanctions were reduced? It would have been a matter of months difference. Either way he came in halfway through them after they were announced. Ole Miss is also not Penn State. Any coach going to Ole Miss has the risk of not knowing what the repercussions will be. Quote Link to comment
Frustrated Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I believe Franklin to the job before the sanctions were lifted My point isn't whether WE feel like a given school is competition for the top coaches, rather, whether the coaches view it as such? If you are the next hot coach, aren't you looking at a ton of factors like, location, recruiting base nearby, quality of the program you are inheriting, quality of life, on and on.

Tired of playing 2nd fiddle. Lightening only strikes so many times. We were fortunate at Nebraska - it struck 2x back to back. Quote Link to comment
Red_Payne Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Florida St. might have a vacancy soon; replacing A&M's vacancy. Not sure, though Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Long fired today at Arkansas, so i'm hearing rumors that Bret is on the outs as well. They may be added to the original list. Quote Link to comment
