from thamel: https://sports.yahoo.com/heres-us-cs-pa ... 06263.html

The search for USC’s next athletic director is the buzziest topic in college athletics, mostly because it’s the precursor to the opening of one of college football’s most coveted coaching jobs.

The fate of embattled coach Clay Helton was further sealed late Saturday at Notre Dame, as USC fell to No. 8 Notre Dame, 30-27, to slide to 3-3. USC’s AD search effectively has become a search for the candidate who can land the best football coach, the easiest pathway for USC to re-establish itself as a national power.

This summer, the search to replace Lynn Swann began unofficially. In a clunky and awkward manner true to USC’s administrative identity, the Trojans conducted a failed shadow search to land an A-list athletic director. After a bunch of swipe lefts, USC jettisoned Swann in early September and finally did something sensible.

They brought in a search firm – Gene DeFilippo of Turnkey Sports and Entertainment – to run the formal search. It was a basic acknowledgement by USC president Carol Folt that USC wouldn’t be luring a top candidate like Oklahoma’s Joe Castiglione, Florida’s Scott Stricklin or Notre Dame’s Jack Swarbrick. They needed help.

Being a jackass only pisses people off because hes a bad coach. Jags was a bit of a jackass in a different way and it was awesome.

The jury is still out on Fickell. There is no way of telling how he would do at BC with just a year and a half at Cincinnati. He’s definitely worth keeping an eye on, but we’ve seen these coaches have one or two good years but then struggle when they move up.

unsurprisingly feldman is throwing out similar names to the nexus:

https://theathletic.com/1293876/2019/10 ... s-to-know/

Joe Moorhead, Mississippi State: His coaching tree is flourishing, and Moorhead parlayed his prolific offenses at Penn State into an SEC job. Do you leave the SEC to go anywhere else in college football? Mississippi State is a tough job in the SEC West. Moorhead is 11-8 in two seasons following a stint at Penn State. His time in State College came after he did exceptionally well at FCS member Fordham, going 38-13 after taking over a beleaguered program. Could the Pittsburgh native be tempted to return closer to his northeastern roots in the Big Ten at Rutgers or Illinois, or even at Boston College?

Jason Candle, Toledo: Candle, a Mount Union alum, followed his buddy Matt Campbell and has continued to pile up wins in the MAC. He’s 39 and has a career record of 32-15. He’s an offense-minded guy, and the Rockets again are among the top two offensive teams in the conference. He’ll get a look from Rutgers and probably from BC, too, if that opens. He also would seem like a good option for Illinois.

Jeff Hafley, Ohio State co-defensive coordinator: As I mentioned a few weeks ago, the 40-year-old New Jersey native is someone Rutgers should have on its radar. Everyone who has worked with him comes away gushing about him, and he’s made a profound impact on the Buckeyes in a short period of time. He also proved to be a fantastic recruiter in New Jersey when he worked at Pitt on Dave Wannstedt’s staff. If BC comes open — which it certainly could — the school probably would be wise to gauge his interest. Hafley is another defensive guy I could also see in play for Michigan State.

Lance Leipold, Buffalo: No one on this list has more championship rings than Leipold, 55, who won six NCAA Division III national titles in eight seasons at Wisconsin-Whitewater. He’s done a good job transitioning to the FBS level. In his first season at Buffalo in 2015, the Bulls went 2-10. Last season, UB went 10-4 and played in the MAC Championship Game. It lost a lot of offensive talent from that team and is off to a 2-4 start, but he might be attractive to Rutgers, BC and maybe Illinois. Still, it certainly would help his stock if Buffalo rallies in the second half of the season.

Carmichael...offensive mind, can use his ties to Brees to probably recruit a decent QB and a BC guy so unlikely to leave for greener pastures right away. Could be a Coughlin-like hire. Otherwise...give Mike Reed a shot.

BC has not had a grad as HC since Mike Holovak. Pete Carmichael Jr., could be an excellent choice. Definitely should be able to land a top QB.

thamel, who is probably the most plugged in national reporter wrote this on his hot seat check

https://sports.yahoo.com/college-footba ... 49433.html

BOSTON COLLEGE – A disappearing defense has plunged the Eagles below expectations. They are 3-3 with a garish 24-point loss to three-touchdown underdog Kansas. Steve Addazio is 41-41 in his seventh season and has a shot at leading BC to a bowl for the sixth time. He’s done a good job at a tough job, especially with pristine graduation rates and no off-field issues. The university will need to decide whether they aim for a higher ceiling, as Addazio has won seven games five times. (He missed a chance to win eight games last year when BC’s bowl game against Boise was cancelled.) Remaining games with Notre Dame and Clemson loom as both an opportunity for Addazio to change the narrative or, potentially, further expose the inexperienced defense ranked No. 121 nationally.

Also from that article — note last sentence...
USF – The Charlie Strong era is in the balance, and it’s hard not to forecast another ugly ending to this season. Strong lost six straight to end last year. USF (3-3) will be an underdog in five of its final six games, including a grueling closing stretch – Temple, Cincinnati, Memphis and at UCF. USF would owe Strong north of $5 million to fire him, which is a daunting amount of money for an AAC school. A strong finish is important, especially against UCF considering that’s how the Bulls are measured locally. In terms of replacements, it would be an ideal market for USF to open, as it’d be one of the most attractive jobs available: “This is a better job than Boston College and Rutgers,” an industry source said.

I’m not so sure about that:
Jim Leavitt
Skip Holtz
Willie Taggart
Charlie Strong

Only one left on his own for greener pastures. It’s a better job if you only want to be there 2 years, win the Uber-crappy AAC with jucos and move to a program like Miss St or GT. The AAC is really no better than the MAC or MWC. It used to be better when they had BCS access and could attract talent like Frost and Herman. But, those days are gone and a guy like Heupel is already an afterthought in coaching searches.

I am guessing the point that source is probably making is that USF could become one of those Group of 5 teams that actually has a better chance of making the playoff given how hard it's going to be for us (even in an alleged "pop" year) to beat FSU, Clemson and ND etc. in a given season.

I’m guessing the source is an idiot. UCF 2017 and 2018 conclusively proved that there is no path to the playoffs for a non-Power 5 team.

Go Eagles!

Hard pass on Carmichael. Has the personality of a wet paper bag.

He’s a career coordinator. There’s a reason that he’s never really been mentioned for any HC jobs despite overseeing an offense that everyone has copied and has set tons of records.

Sean Payton has been overseeing that offense. Carmichael has been the #3 guy overseeing that offense for years.


While I can agree with the Sean Payton running the offense side of things, I do wonder how much of a role and what input Carmichael has. I say this because in 2012 when Payton was suspended for the entire season, the Saints (with Pete as the OC) finished 1st in yards passing, 2nd in total yards and third in points scored league wide. They did however finish 29 in rushing, but this was before having steady backs like Ingram and Kamara. I know that having Brees as the QB and "coach on the field" also helped these numbers a bit. But look at what happened last offseason...the perceived #3 guy (behind Payton and Carmichael) took a position with LSU as it's passing game coordinator, and ow LSU has the top offense in CFB...trust me I know how shocking that is to actually say or type out loud. Brady has come in and instilled alot of the passing schemes that the Saints were/are running and it's been an incredible reversal for a team that over the past 10 or more years was finishing in the bottom 20% of D1 teams in passing.
I know that a college coordinator is a whole different level than being the head coach and CEO of a college program, but sometimes you have to take a chance and hope that you can grab that diamond in the rough. With Kitna coming in, Carmichael could elevate the BC offense to a more modern style, rather than a run on first and second down, play action on third down and punt. But again, after watching games this year, they really need help defensively so maybe they need to hire a defensive-minded coach who will stay out of the way of his OC and let the offensive coaches run that side of the ball.

I'm not opposed to PCJR. I quite honestly don't know a terrible lot about him (other than he is a wildly successful OC from BC who never gets a look at HC). I think the biggest concern for most is that he was passed over for Aaron Kromer when Payton was forced to serve the Bountygate suspension. Darren is right that BC will have to roll the dice with whomever they select. There really isn't some sort of "no brainer" selection at this point. PCJR's resume is stellar, but so was Dan Henning's.

At the end of the day, I think the most successful coach at BC will be someone who is (a) an extremely hard worker, (b) has a vision for what the program should be, (c) can recruit and develop kids to bring about said vision, (d) is a good recruiter of both players and assistants and (e) understand the benefits and challenges that BC presents. Unlike other programs, the rubber-chicken circuit, the media, the alumni interaction and fan outreach are all not terribly important at BC. While resumes can help answer provide clues to identify folks who could be successful, I think the interview and reputation among other coaches may be the most important.

HJS {l Wrote}:IAt the end of the day, I think the most successful coach at BC will be someone who is (a) an extremely hard worker, (b) has a vision for what the program should be, (c) can recruit and develop kids to bring about said vision, (d) is a good recruiter of both players and assistants and (e) understand the benefits and challenges that BC presents. Unlike other programs, the rubber-chicken circuit, the media, the alumni interaction and fan outreach are all not terribly important at BC. While resumes can help answer provide clues to identify folks who could be successful, I think the interview and reputation among other coaches may be the most important



You forgot (f) can consistently coach games without pissing all over himself. You can argue that The Gym Teacher can do (a)-(e) to an extent but fails (f)

After a decade of ground and pound and win with your defense on the field, anything resemblng a pro-style passing offense behind what could be a decent line would be a welcome change. Carmichael falls in that category. I'm sure he'd coach fine, have no idea if he can recruit or knows people that he can hire that can recruit.
