Coaching carousel 2025-26

[BearFoot]

Cignetti's record does remind me of DeBoer somewhat... He did very well at lower level schools, particularly for his longest tenure at James Madison. He has never had a losing season.

Indiana went from 3-9 to 11-2 in his first year with losses to the national champ and the runner up after having 17 losing seasons in the 20 years before he arrived.

Indiana may be smarter than we are thinking. They are a wasteland of college football.

Their three winning seasons in the twenty years before Cignetti were 6-2, 8-5, and 7-61

Wow, those three winning seasons in the 20 years you listed are deceptively irregular….did they just stop counting losses after the 6th one during that 3rd year? 😉

Hahahah! Funny thing about 2020…

Went to a couple of Wake games to see my daughter march in the band. Very weird to be in a stadium with 5k people only!

Does Huge Sleaze make it through the weekend?

 

[Moro Creek]

Please, please, please, give Hugh an extended contract.

Please, please, please, give Hugh an extended contract.

I expected we’ll hear something this afternoon or tomorrow. Probably will name D.J. Durkin interim.
I also think Fickell may have coached his last game at Wisconsin. They looked atrocious yesterday. And Sunbelt Billy may have survived another week.

The fighting Dabos were thumped by SMU...

Tejas struggled to beat Kentucky in OT yesterday... Arch 12/27...

LSU thumped by Vandy...

Georgia looked like Ole Miss was gonna put the hurt on them until the 4th quarter...

Some craziness out there indeed!

Major donors are meeting now to discuss Norvell’s future per On3

Hugh just looks bad... I think he is cracking more under the pressure every day.

I agree. And I wonder how much of it is stress and frustration and how much is his cancer treatments. Maybe some of all of that.

Would laugh to see him fired after they pinned everything on beating us the 1st game of the season. I watched the end of the Stanford game last night because I was too amped to sleep, and it was bad. I don’t understand how we lost to them.

And hey, longshot but maybe Haynes would try to transfer back 😉

that was my thinking. Maybe he should have stepped aside for a year or 2 and came back to coaching?

Napier out in Gainesville which surprises basically nobody.

Have there ever been this many in season firings before? At least at major programs? Almost seems like a mad panic to “get in line” for a new coach right now.

There’s never been this much outside leverage in college football.

Because of the 30 day portal window...

I hope they go after Hartline at OSU.

 

[CB4]

Does Wisconsin hold off on Fickel until the end of the year?

And then it lets the new guy pull from the rest of the country's portal as soon as he gets hired

 

[DzynKingRTR]

At some point the carousel will affect us. I think we will need a new OC next season
