Not unless something weird happens.

This list seems smaller than usual.

With all the Power 5 jobs locked up, reports today that PJ Fleck and WMU are working on an extension. Temple or Cinci might of been a good bridge job though.

Hope he stays so we can #capsizetheboat next year.

ND could be open too. frankly i think only houston is worth it to him

Sounds like Fickell to Cinci, announcement supposedly coming tomorrow per reporter from WTOL in Toledo.

I don't know, my guess is this isn't going to work out for Cinci. Fickell was in a tough spot as interim HC but did nothing to elevate himself.

Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin has agreed to become FAU's next head football coach, per @ClowESPN and @McMurphyESPN.

Wow. I don't think this is way for Kiffen to demonstrate he can actually be a HC.

weird. really weird. wonder who saban taps next.

by **GRR Spartan** Mon Dec 12, 2016 11:15 am

LSU wiffed on Fisher and Herman and retained Orgeron
USC retains Helton
I didn't think the rope in Oregon was that short or IU would replace Wilson 10 months after giving him a raise and 6 year extension.

Surprised that Fleck is still at WMU but there wasn't to much Power 5 churn.
Big 12 - Texas fired Strong
Big Ten - IU fired Wilson and Purdue fired Hazell
PAC 12 - Oregon fired Helfrich
No changes post season changes SEC or ACC yet are there?

He'd set the world on fire with all of that NFL level talent then, five years from now, Blanch would be saying how our current OC could never hope to live up to Dave Warner.

lol. not happening. offensive coaches from the tressell/dantonio tree are completely out of flavor.

So the best opportunity one of our own coaches has come up with is head coach candidate of a D2 school.

Sabans probably going to tap Sarkisian from his current role of "offensive analyst" for the tide...

Sure he did, wait it out another 12 months, unless Saban kicked him out of the nest.

He needs to shake off the stink of his last two HC assignments and prove he can win as an HC. Winning at FAU is not that difficult if he can actually be an HC. If so, in 2 years he gets a good Power 5 gig. I don't see that happening after getting berated by Saban for another year. Good move IMO.
