Heard speculation about Michigan State, but nothing from reputable sources

That would mean Rossi would possibly become available again.

Brian Kelly's buyout at LSU is 54 million dollars. It is the second largest in history, first being Jimbo Fisher at 76 million.
 

Arkansas (Big swing coming IMO)
Colorado State non factor
Florida
Kent State* non factor
LSU
Oklahoma State can they take swing?
Oregon State non factor
Penn State
Stanford* what is their level of swing?
Virginia Tech possibly a retread
UAB non factor
UCLA possibly a retread

Who else opens up their position?
Colorado
MSU
North Carolina
 

Other than Kiffin, Clark Lea is about to get a ton of money thrown his way, how strong is that pull to remain at his alma mater?

Texas coach seems to be openly trying to leave

Maryland if they don’t make a bowl

A really bad match. I don't think he's a terrible coach but those programs in the SEC with high expectations every year (deluded or not) are year-round pressure cookers and every move you make is dissected over and over and over and over . . .

I mean, he was at Notre Dame...how is that not a pressure cooker every year?
 

this is the year if any for PJ to leave and get an upgraded position. A ton of good job openings and not a ton of proven winners. Not a good year to have a job opening if not a blue blood, those schools will all be fighting over table scraps
 



Kelly is the first LSU coach since Dinardo in ‘99 to leave without a National Title. Saban, Miles and Eddy O all got one.

Probably true, but being 5-3 with two blowout losses and winless on the road isn’t likely to excite the blue bloods. And the other openings probably aren’t enough of an upgrade to lure PJ away.

But to your point, it’s a good reason why firing PJ this year would be foolish barring some ultra embarrassing finish.

LSU has won 3 Natty's between their last 3 coaches before Brian K. Florida has 3 Natty's since I graduated high school and 8 SEC champiosnhips along with 15 SEC East division titles. They are a blue blood.

Whether PJ would take another job certainly would come down to money. Are there openings at schools that could and would pay him more than he's making here? It seemed PJ was interested in the UCLA job until he figured out its a poverty program and couldn't pay him.

That's just some stupid website. They rank Nebraska as a blue blood for fucks sake.
They might as well include Minnesota or Fordham in that.

Blue blood is not the same thing as current title contender.

Florida is fading.

Florida is one of those programs that can turn it around in a season though.

Can they? They had 20 years run and haven’t done much in over 15 years. They needed one of the best coaches with no morals to pull that off.
