You’re an idiot if you think Vandy is willing or able to compete in NIL with LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Missouri or Auburn. Don’t be stupid.

Have you seen the money that school has? Check their endowment. And Lea went to Vandy. He isn't leaving his school in a lurch.

Most of these guys that are successful want to win it all and want to feel they are in a place that gives them the chance. My thinking is that what makes Lea do so well is the same thing that would make him want more.

UK probably laments that Stoops can't do for them what Lea is doing at Vandy this year, but he wouldn't still be at UK if he could and they'd likely had to go through the process of finding another coach that could get them to bowl games most years. I feel for those schools. That has to suck.

The richest colleges in the country are the Ivy League you retard. Endowments mean nothing for football. God dammit you are a moron.

Whatever dude. I’m done arguing with you if you’re too stupid and stubborn to realize Florida or LSU could absolutely take Vandy’s HC. I mean people post retarded shite all the time but you take the cake man.

Out of the available jobs, LSU gets first pick.

Penn State would be a close second.

The good thing is that it’s virtually impossible to be more disappointed than we’ve been this year in BK.

One of my buddy’s who is an alum at GT and follows the program closely said he knows directly that Brent key isn’t leaving GT anytime soon. The Athletic department has raised over 400 million in the last few years. They raised 80 million last year alone. He said the school is about to give him a huge pay raise.

Predictions:

Drink- Florida
Sumrall- LSU
Kiffin- stays at Ole Miss


No way this happens . 2 of the winningest schools in modern SEC history will be looking for a new head coach, at the same time. No way Kiffin stays put. He is the hottest commodity in the nation right now. You can only max so many credit cards in Oxford trying to keep the inevitable from happening. Kiffen's stock has never been higher.

There are going to be some disappointed fan bases, I am afraid


There aren't that many inspiring coaches available, especially with how many jobs are open.

Eric Morris is the best of the bunch (Mahomes, Ward, Mateer, Mestemaker QB track record as a recruiter/developer)

Bob Chesney would be a great hire

Jon Sumrall would be a great hire

I am less sold on Golesh than others, he hasn't won a lot of games at USF

Ryan Silverfield has put together 3 straight good seasons for Memphis now and would be a solid hire

There are not many P4 coaches who are proven and available. Campbell seems like a ISU lifer to me, but with how this season is going for them injury wise he might make the jump realizing he will never be able to build enough depth there to make a serious run. Manny Diaz would be a good hire for the 2nd/3rd tier of open jobs (V Tech, UCLA etc)

That's why having a legit AD matters. One has to be able to identify a good coach in all sorts of areas. OSU hired Jim Treasel from division 3.

That’s what I was thinking. Where are all these Coaches going to come from. Is this going to be a yearly thing. Plus next year 9 Conference games it could get brutal.

The alums I know have been a lot more involved with the program lately. I don't know any huge money donors or anything there, but its just a sign that the general perception of the program is going up and people are more checked in than they have been.

I'm sure that's what Auburn fans were thinking when they fired Gus Malzahn. It can always get worse.
