College HC vacancies are filling up

I think Fitzgerald is a lot better coach than he’s getting credit for. It is not easy to win at Northwestern, but he did. It should be easier for him to win at State. We’ll see how the NIL comes together for him, but he should have an easier time recruiting and working the portal.

I am surprised it came together this quickly. That part probably won’t sit well with a lot of State fans. I’m sure they would have preferred multiple candidates to be interviewed before making a decision.

the spelling in that post is NOT copacetic. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

The donor support is so big on many levels! Should potentially change everything!

Huh? 110-101 is his all time record!

Not sure you realize how big having $$$ is in college football nowadays hence the donor money he’s about to get! I don’t give a shit what his record was the last few years before NIL ……..He’s a great coach!

I guess its a wait and see

If Sitake could ever be swayed by a blue blood I think he could do some real damage.

Penn state has been kicking that can but I don’t sense that he was open to it. I think he’d be a good Pro coach too. But I think he’d be perfectly happy staying. He’s going to be in the playoffs all the time when they next expand. 16 has to be coming soon.

They also have an NIL advantage as rich Mormon boosters don’t spend on vice.

I think my biggest concerns is I dont want this conversation in two years. Will it work, idk can it work idk

That’s going to be that way with most coaches though. You never really know.

Can anyone here tell me anything meaningful that Lane Kiffin has … ever won?

I agree and I seriously think Fitzgerald can get MSU back to the Dantonio days of winning and competing for B1G titles

Lane Kiffin destroyed the USC program that Pete Carroll had built within 4 years prior to the NIL / portal era.

I’d never want my program to hire him. Of course, the biggest name my program (Arizona) ever hired was Rich Rod.

I think the USC scandal under Carroll is what destroyed them. Lane wasn’t quite seasoned enough to get over that obstacle

Nothing as a HC.

As an OC he’s been successful.

I feel like Ole Miss was completely the perfect school for him, and look what he did to them.

He may have some success at LSU but I can’t see him being there a long time.
