As much as he's talked about in relation to Kalen DeBoer's success on a national scene, I could easily see a smaller P4 team taking a shot at him. If I'm UCLA, Grubb would be on my list. My god, they hired Deshaun Foster as their HC. LOL! If he wants to be a HC he won't be at Alabama long, especially if his offenses at Alabama keep doing what it's been doing.

I think he needs to rebuild his reputation for a bit 1st.

Smaller west coast schools might give him a look but I get the impression he wants a Higher profile gig.

His peak so far was ‘22 and ‘23 when Washington had a #7 and number #13 ranked Offense.

This year we are around 35th and can’t run the ball.

Every game we go through periods of BoB level stuff where we seemingly run when we should pass and pass when we should run.

We get behind the chains way too often off negative plays where we should be trying to just convert and move the chains.

We need aggressive 4th down trickery to convert and sometimes because we used unnecessary trickery on 1st down to put us in that bind.

I think there really is a potentially very good OC in him if he’d tweak some things and change tendencies a bit.

But imo it would be a big gamble for a even a Mid level P4 team to offer him a HC gig.

If he can create a Top 5 Offense that wins some Hardware he’d reach a new high and would likely get a lot better interest and/or Offers.

And we thought Florida was a messy dynamic...!

Reading this, from Dellenger, I wonder what knucklehead would say "Yes" to those Red Stick people.

Wow.

Inside Brian Kelly's messy firing at LSU: How it all unraveled so quickly in Baton Rouge

How did Kelly's firing extend to Louisiana's governor? Who's footing the bill for the buyout? LSU's particularly messy situation was a product of several things, but the state's politics and LSU football are linked forever.

It's gotten messier.

The article quoted above says Woodward will probably choose the new coach. Based on subsequent new information, it doesn't look like that'll be the case. At a press conference today, Landry said the following:

"No. I can tell you right now, Scott Woodward is not selecting the next coach," he said in response to a question at a press conference. "Hell, I'll let Donald Trump select him before I let him do it."

Several other credible outlets are reporting the same thing with the same quote.

That pretty much says Woodward not only won't choose the next coach, he'll be out the door as soon as they can get the paperwork done. At best, he's a dead man walking.

Here's the deal: LSU doesn't have a permanent president, only an interim. As it's been explained to me, Landry is the ex officio CEO pending hiring of a new permanent president.

The Governor weighed in late Saturday night after the home field beatdown from aTm -- don't think he might have had a sip or two, do you? The next day, a bunch of donors met at the Governor's Mansion and fired Kelly, apparently after he (Kelly) and Woodward had "contentious" meetings earlier Sunday. The NOLA article specifically says that Woodward wasn't in several of the meetings.

Then the Governor publicly says that there's no way in 10,000 universes that Woodward will have anything to do with hiring the new coach.

This is more messed up and self-destructive than machinations at the barn. I mean, what coach in his right mind would walk into that den of cobras?

Whoever the poor schmoo is, he'll go into the job knowing:
-- His real boss is a Trump wannabe political hack with Trumpian HR practices.
-- His AD (whether it's Woodward or someone else) won't have had anything to do with his hiring, and
-- His college president will have almost no time in the chair and also had little to nothing to do with his hiring.

This comes under the heading of, "You can't make this stuff up."

I am about 90% sure, we will lose Grubb to someone.

I think we might have the Seahawks helping us not to lose Grubb this year.
When his contract was announced (only 1 mil / year for 2 years, which is low), it was mentioned that he is still receiving money from the Seahawks.
I do think that we might lose him after the next season.
