Coaching hot seats and replacements in the Big 10

[Texan Gopher]

Do Maryland and/or Wisconsin fire their coaches at the end of the season ?

Add in Penn State to those 2 and I am betting that the lure of Brian Kelly & Bill Napier could be enough to pull the trigger.

I am not a fan of Brian Kelly going to Wisconsin as I think he would turn that ship around in 1 season.

His attitude probably does fit their culture.

I think based on available jobs, Kelly wouldn't consider either as destinations. Can Wisconsin afford Kelly if they eat Fickell's buyout anyways?

With LSU, Penn State, Florida, and potentially FSU open (and maybe more), I’d be very hesitant as a mid-level P4 team about firing my coach this season, unless you already have your guy lined up.

Lots of fierce competition from deep pockets at helmet schools for the top coaching talent this year.

I do not understand why people want Kelly, universally loathed everywhere he's been and in this era it hurts more. Had success pre-ish NIL at Notre Dame and Cincinnati but crap at LSU and, per all reports, an absolutely horseshit human being. I don't think he gets one of the big jobs.

Fickell has more to do with internal politics than if he should be fired. I think most would say this is frost part two with a different red team.
His future being tied to AD’s may give him another year


Maryland is pretty cut and dry I think. I have a hard time seeing him fired if they make a bowl and a hard time seeing him brought back if they don’t.
They’re 4-3 with Indiana, @rutgers, @ Illinois, Michigan, @ Michigan state.
I think they beat MSU and one of the other 3 and he survives

Michigan state I gotta think gives him one more year but you never know.

Penn state already got rid of Franklin

Ferentz retiring is next most likely to me.
Northwestern guy has done enough to be off the hot seat.
Purdue guy is year 1.

I think at a lot of places Schiano would be on hot seat but I think they know he’s behind on NIL and they worry about becoming Purdue again like they were before Schiano came back
