Here is the NCAA penality

So I don't see us getting a major college coach when he knows that he has two years against him, so I expect to see one of Pinkel's friends or family take the job.

Odom is a lame-duck coach for two years, since probation ends January 31 2022, no need for him to stay, and no major coach taking the job with two years against him, three options
1.Pinkel is coach, nothing to lose, and experienced rebuilder,
2. Pinkel's nephew Alex Grinch getting prime experience
3. Eberhaus Pinkel's friend cheap hire.

All working for less than 2 mil a year thrilling the administration.
The best case senario in my opinion.

Pinkel ain’t coaching anymore

Grinch would take the job

Eberflus? No thanks

I’m not understanding your position though. If you think this is a lame duck position for two years then why even pay all these buyouts and make a change?

Probation means nothing, their bowl ban is for this season only.

And Eberflus was a terrible Dcoord, who Pinkel made calls, to get him the gig in Cleveland.

Grinch has proven nothing to be a head coach. His OU defense was a dumpster fire.

A new Coach comes in with a couple missed scholarships, which can be given to walkons next season. And a chance to go to a bowl in 2020.

Perfect spot to come in and change the ways of cement head.
