2020-21 Coaching Carousel

[Tech52]

Not for Illinois- those weren’t his players nor apparently his chosen style of play. Miami- sure I’ll give him full credit those were most certainly all his players and his style of score and hold on for dear life football.

But doing it in the regular season would mean he is trying to build an all around competitive program. Up to this point he has seen the bowl games as his only measuring stick to job security. This year with the extension and COVID he saw no reason to work and it showed.

Sokol was his

If you're going to count all the losses, it's only fair to count all the wins.

great comparison...winning vs Navy...losing vs Ga South

[Dawg Fan]

They will never be successful at this level with no money. They will never get more money than they have now.

Maybe Willie "Duck Dynasty" Robertson will pony up some money since he is a graduate of there, although he is more of an "LSU wannabe".

[dawg80]

All I want for Christmas is a coach who can win conference championships, get us in the Top 25, and be a serious contender annually for a NY6 bowl berth.


Of course, Santa didn't bring me a Lamborghini SIAN FKP 37 either...

I don't believe Roberson graduated, he may have?

[DallasDog]

Sokol was his

If one player made it all work we would have been undefeated with the rockstar.

[JuBru]

Sokol was his

Well, first he was Doug Madoski's.
Then he was Kirk Ferentz'.
Holtz got Sokol after he'd been cooked and got a free meal from it. Sokol outplayed Holtz' coaching, never succumbing to it.

Time for another spin....and Herman was supposed to be the savior in Austin. Guess not.

Wow. This is a surprise. Herman's team finished 7-3 this year, including a huge win over a good Colorado team last week in the Alamo Bowl. Also, one of those losses was in 4 OT's to Oklahoma in their annual shootout. Not sure that firing this guy was the right decision.

[dawg80]

Herman leaves with a $24 million buyout...nice consolation prize. Word is UT will hire Bama OC Steve Sarkesian (sp?). I think the "Hey! look at us!" UT Teasips want to be relevant and think Sarkesian can rescue them. Saban has a way of making assistants successful and relevant when under that Red Elephant umbrella with NFL+ talent. Yes, I mean some talent that is already superior to the average NFL players' talent (if not physical maturity yet to come). Doesn't mean these assistants will be able to duplicate their success at other schools. Heck! we have seen that many times already.

I don't give a rat's butt about UT or its success in football, but as a neutral and somewhat knowledgeable college football fan, I think they should have given Herman another year or two. I smell a mistake brewing in Austin.

[FriscoDawg]

The first recent mistake in Austin was to replace Mack Brown with Charlie Strong.

Truth. But Mack's better off. He's got a good thing going now at UNC. He finished 8-3 this season, with two of those losses being by only 3 points each. The other loss was to CFP playoff team Notre Dame.

Sarkisian = Retread

[johnnylightnin]

If Sark can stay on the wagon, he’ll be a force.
