Arizona State's board of regents approved a raise/extension for Todd Graham on saturday. His deal is now through 2019 and pays $3m/yr.

Sounds like it's time for his wife to find more family somewhere else!

Bielema's buyout is $15.4 million before 2018, $11.5 million after.

Bielema's not going anywhere.

Also, as much as some folks seem to like speculating to the contrary, I don't really see any scenario in which Charlie Strong is not the coach at Texas in 2016. And I think 2016 would have to go pretty badly for him not to be here in 2017 as well.

The only way I see Strong leaving is if your new AD insists on having his own guy. Which would be understandable enough, but it wouldn't be fair to Strong at all.

What's the timeline on the new hire looking like out of curiosity?

Also let me have my dream that Bielema will be so bad they have to fire him and eat the buyout, even if it isn't realistic.

I think Bielema had a pretty big buyout when he signed on at Arkansas but I have no idea if it scales down as his years go on or what.

I'd imagine Paul Rhoads has to be on his way out, especially if this week's game with Kansas is even close.

E: USF has a new AD and it bears wondering how much longer Taggart may have there if they can't get it turned around too.
E2: HEll, two of their wins last year were squeaking by UConn and SMU.

Bielema's is like 16 million which is amazing. He's the greatest. (e: aw, beaten)

I think Rhoads is definitely out if they close the season the way they're likely too. He had built up a lot of goodwill a couple years ago with his once a year or so big upset but they've bottomed out so thoroughly in the last two that he's pretty much burned through it all. About the only thing that might save him is that their attendance is still pretty good, even after the expansion of the stadium, but their fanbase definitely seems done with him, and his overall record is pretty abysmal even by ISU standards. I don't know who they replace him with though. A big segment of the fanbase seems to want them to just promote Mangino which is hilarious to me.

Their offense is complete dogshit (even though if you listen to ISU fans their WRs are second in talent only to the 99 Rams) but his hiring got built up so much that all the good things that happen to ISU get credited to him and anything bad that happens is blamed on Rhoads, it's weird.

I donno, I can see the fanbase pointing more at the head coach with problems than anyone after a while.

Perrin (the interim guy) is currently contracted through next August, and President Fenves has said he will "put off" hiring the next guy. I've heard nothing about a search committee or any candidates. I think Fenves has a lot of other pressing stuff to attend to, and it was becoming clear that Steve Patterson would remain a major distraction and source of discontent from the alumni/donors/faculty/coaches as long as he was here. In other words, Fenves didn't fire Patterson because he was ready to focus on changing things up in athletics, he did it so that he could stop focusing on athletics for a minute.

No I totally get being mad at Rhoads (that huge by ISU standards contract extension he got made no sense to me), I just don't get the infatuation people have with Mangino. But then I also think his time at KU gets wildly overrated too. He had one really good season, one okay one and then they went right back to being bad as soon as Reesing graduated. It was not exactly Bill Snyder.

This is where I go back to my prediction from a couple of years ago where Arkansas boosters buy out Ferentz' contract so bert can go there.

Probably as recently as like a month ago. And I would be all over it but Ferentz is currently trying really hard to save his job and set Brian up to take over for him.

But anyway no it turns out you are in fact not the first person to suggest that the high profile Iowa alum with the schools logo tattooed on his leg might some day be a candidate to coach there.

E:oh I read that backwards

I don't think it's the majority or anything, but I've heard it from multiple people I know and have seen it a few places online. At the very least they want to can Rhoads in the next week or two and give Mangino a try as interim coach.

For the record, the Bobcats defense gave up at least 50 points in the three games against FBS opponents. We played Southern Miss at home and lost 50-56. That gets you fired.

Given that he took Kansas to an Orange Bowl is it really all that crazy for Iowa State fans to want him to coach? Granted he left Kansas under bad circumstances but if he's cleaned up his act it should be ok.

His track record beyond that one season is not very good. He was good when Todd Reesing was there and otherwise not terribly different from what ISU already has with Rhoads (granted KU gotten worse since he left, but being better than Turner Gill is not really much of an accomplishment). His KU tenure beyond that one season is not so amazing that he should be at the top of a list for even a crappy power 5 job like ISU, especially given his health/age, what he's done as a coordinator, and the reason he lost his last job

Also the Big 12 plays a round robin these days, so the magic from that one year can never be repeated.

Mangino would probably be the most likely guy to fill in as interim if Rhoads gets canned midseason (which I don't see happening because if it didn't happen after we lost to Kansas last season I don't know what could short of a scandal) but outside of a small percentage of idiot message board posters I don't think there is anybody who would want to see him as head coach for more than that. It isn't like he's been stellar as OC the past year and a half. I think the vast majority of the fanbase would want to see an offensive minded current head coach from a G5 or FCS school. If we're gonna lose lets be like Tech and score a million points in the process.

Hey, he also managed to be both better, and fatter, than Charlie Weis
