East Carolina first out of the gate:


Go Gophers!!
 


Need to get this thread updated:

Central Michigan's HC chimes in:


Go Gophers!!
 







Couple things.

One, it's interesting how that's two coaches now who leveraged success at Houston to get jobs at bigger Texas teams and then falling off. Kevin Sumlin, Houston to Texas A&M, then Tom Herman Houston to Texas. Both fell off there and then couldn't replicate the success at their next job.

Also, I have to wonder if UMass drops back down to FCS. They haven't had a winning season since they were in the FCS, and that was a 6-5 campaign in 2010. Their next best season was the next year at 5-6. Since then, their high mark was back-to-back 4-8 records. They've had five 1 win seasons.

Both guys that were pushed heavily around here. Weird how things play out.
 









Maryland coach starts conference with someone on a FaceTime that was checking in on him.

“Everybody checking in on me, suicide watch or something.” 🥶
 




Purdue's in a tough spot. Even if they hired a good coach, say they found the next Joe Tiller, they now have to deal with a resurrected Indiana program, the expanded Big Ten and the new NIL reality.
 



UND Flickertails announce that HC, Bubba Schweigert is out and staying in a role in Athletic Department. A good FCS job to be had. Former Gopher Issac Fruechte was the OC this year and they averaged over 30 points a game.
 

Temple chimes in with a hire:

In my opinion UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati are jobs that were relatively easy to win at when they were down a league but now in big 12 became much tougher jobs

And tiller had 5 winning conference records in 12 years with a 53-43 conference record.
 

It's early but could coordinators be on the move more than HC's this year? Hard to support NIL and buyouts at the same time.

Will be interesting to watch.

Nebraska DC to Florida State
Washington Stat OC to Oklahoma
