Nakos, who Newsweek is using as their source for this article, is saying it’ll likely be decided during the BYE week before UGA.

It seems a shame that in this banner year of coaching searches, Tennessee will not be participating. Although I suppose it is always possible that Heupel drops dead from an obesity-related heart attack at any moment.

I dont think this is going to happen but it isnt totally outside the realm of possibility LSU ends 8-4 (very unlike) or 9-3

Does this get Kelly tossed and LSU into the search?

Alex Golesh would be Urban 2.0 in Gainesville. I'm shocked they have kept Billy for so long. All they need is a real coach to be elite again.

The Penn State vs. Florida tug ‘o’ war for Cignetti begins.

Florida would look really embarrassing if they don’t fire him after Penn State made a move with twice the buyout

The only question to me is if they fire him regardless of win or loss after Mississippi State. Realistically this Florida team has the talent to beat (and the coaching to lose to) anyone. A lot of teams are looking vulnerable this season. So I don’t think we want to give opportunity for Billy’s cockroach level survival instincts to kick in.

Scott Stricklin got his contract extension for the basketball championship and with it the right to pick a third football coach. If I were him I wouldn’t wait.

Franklins firing means Hugh and BIlly are dead men.

Tbh his firing signals like maybe 5 coaches in cfb have enough equity to withstand multiple slight underperforming seasons or one major one.

I love this chaos since our school has one of them

Why wait? Don’t give the team a chance to galvanize and go on a tear for ol’ Billy.

Here is your chance to stick the dagger in State. I am sure it would be nice to rub it into Stricklin's face for you guys, and I would applaud you.

You have a lot of losses coming your way. You might want to get used to it.

This is the SEC, not the B12.
