Jimbo Fisher is your next HC. He will not get a 10-year deal and his buyout be unreasonable.

Is there a better job in America, or the World, than fired Power 4 football head coach?

But his win% is over 80% in his last 4 years!

All I know is I would love nothing more than to be Auburn's head coach.

How much could you have won at the beginning of the season betting that Franklin gets fired before Billy? Feels like you could’ve gotten 100-1 odds on that. PSU is last year’s FSU.

PSU has to be one of the most perennially overrated programs in the last 30 years. Franklin will win elsewhere.

with a legit playoff team? I’d assume they would want a coach who would leave before the portal closes..

My money is on Rhule.
He could bring Raiola with him as well..

+1 he is about to get paid either way..


does he want to go home (he graduated from Penn) or stay at A&M..



Unlike our basketball and baseball teams, no coach has been hired away from A&M football in my lifetime.

I just said my money is on Rhule, but they’ll likely inquire about Elko with his ties, which is why he’ll get paid to stay at A&M or go to PSU.. no clue what he wants to do

Ha. Elko’s agent is …

drumroll

JS, of course

A&M already lost Elko to Duke when that job came open, since that was his wife’s call. I would be very worried about losing him to PSU which is home.

Fortunately for A&M there are other possibilities out there.

Elko went to UPenn. Not Penn state. And he left A&M as a DC to become a head coach…
