They'd have to pay him more than they can afford for it to actually make him money since he's still under his USC buyout, and as far as prestige goes it'd be a step down with less chance to win or be seen as successful.

Rich Rodriguez, Arizona: He is reaching the point where he can't do much more at Arizona, as he won the Pac-12 South last year. Virginia Tech would be a natural fit if Frank Beamer steps down. Miami would also be captivating considering the amount of local talent that would perfectly fit his system. Va Tech from Arizona seems like the very definition of "Lateral Move".

That conference is basically Florida State and a big downhill tumble. Pac 12 has more competition to dominate one of the divisions. I could be wrong, but "win the ACC and get into the playoffs" seems easier for a good VT than doing the same in the Pac 12 for Arizona. It's got its appeal for a coach.

The timing on Beckman is crazy. Illinois gave 90 minutes notice to the media for the press conference and wouldn't allow questions over the phone. That isn't really enough time for anyone to get there other than Champaign "media."

Beamer wants his kid or Foster to get the big job, but there's a rift between him and Whit (the current AD who we got from Cincy a few years back). There are rumors Whit is gonna look outside the program when the time comes but nothing is anything more than rumors right now. Rich Rod's name does keep popping up though.

Man the other VT peeps need to get in here and correct what I'm sure are some factual errors of mine haha.

I don't think he (or anyone) can turn UofA into a National power, but I don't even want them to be a regular 8-10 win team, makes me too damned nervous. Get another one of the crappy Stoops' down there! Sash! posted:I'd wager there's a bigger power vacuum in the ACC that a successful VT could fit into.

And while for most people living in Tucson is probably more appealing than Blacksburg, he is from that region so maybe he'd be OK w/ it from a lifestyle/amenity point of view.

kayakyakr posted:Please do not fire him before we play on Thanksgiving. Wickline is presumed to be decent and I'd prefer not to see that. I have to grudgingly agree that it would have been unfair to fire him after a season in which he was dealt such a crap hand. Which is a shame because I do not have faith that he is gonna work out. We're in a situation where we have to give him a chance to fail more before we can move on. I dunno what Cumbie and Meachem got paid to turn TCU's offense in to a monster overnight, but we paid Watson and Wick something like $1.3 mil combined for an offense that got 59 yards in a bowl game. I doubt we want Wick stepping in to call plays, either. He schemes a lot of the run game, but I don't think he's ever run an actual offense. It's looking like he was named OC purely in an attempt to defraud Okie Lite of buyout money. Lots of people think that if Watson is dismissed in the middle of things it will be Jeff Traylor who gets promoted. He was theoretically brought in to coach tight ends and special teams, but Strong talked a lot about how he was also being brought in for his knowledge of spread concepts. Before joining us he was a fairly legendary Texas high school coach with a 175-26 record at his last stop.

After the 2010 season, Pelini "encouraged" Shawn Watson to find a new job, and he finally got a lifeline at Louisville. Dude overthinks his playcalling something fierce.

sweet thursday posted:Over/Under on Illinois getting a new coach?? Probably not likely until after the season. Mike Thomas's AD tenure is an absolute disaster (he's also dealing with brutal accusations of racism, sexism, and abuse in other programs). So many Illini programs are facing serious allegations that he HAS to be fired if Illinois wants to avoid major NCAA violations. On the other hand, the U of I is quite literally leaderless right now: the chancellor and several of the people under the chancellor have been forced out in scandal. There's nobody around to fire Mike Thomas and clean house. In the meantime, Mike Thomas is the moron who initially poo-poohed these allegations in the first place. The U of I board had to hire an external review committee because Thomas himself said he thought the allegations were bullshit and stood behind Beckman. So Thomas is probably going to keep the rest of the coaching staff around until he's forced out. e: reminder that Simon Cvijanovic. the ex-Illini who went public with Beckman's bullshit, also claimed that Cubit ordered him to stop taking his anti-depressants under threat of revoking his scholarship.

Yeah, it'd be unfair to bring someone in to coach with an unfamiliar staff. Plus Cubit has a bunch of HC experience and had a couple of decent seasons at WMU. poo poo, it's probably an upgrade.
