Looks like Aranda is staying at Baylor

I don't see Campbell at either job; his family really likes Ames and the small town environment. I see him as a Big 10 guy, eventually.

The Gameday guys even said they don't see Campbell being a fit at USC.

I was surprised a few mentioned Brian Kelly for that job - which would potentially put Fickell back in play at ND, or maybe Urban if he decide the NFL wasn't for him ala Saban.
 
Unless LSU grabs an A list Coach, hard for me to see them missing on both Aranda and Napier.
 
Y'all being quite gullible yet again. Most of these "leaks" come the agents trying to get a better deal, they may (and often are not) real. Also, as an AD, even if you think you are going to lose a good coach, you leak that you are working on a big extension that the coach wants to sign. So if they bolt, the AD can say I did everything I could.
 
Didn't Mario just sign an extension recently? Doesn't mean they are staying put just that negotiating terms change.
No.

He triggered an automatic 1 year extension of his contract by winning a certain amount of games (I assume 8).

Ok. But the point I am making is an extension whether predetermined by hitting bench marks or negotiated afterwards doesn't mean much except it drives up price of negotiations if a coach still decides to leave.

Why are schools doing 10 years fully guaranteed contracts for coaches who havent even won championships..
They also keep putting clauses in the contracts, that if the coaches wants to leave to go to a new school the coach doesn’t have to give back any of the money & the school is still on the hook for 80% of the contract.

That’s the same deal that Jumbo Fisher, James Franklin & Mel Tucker have all signed, it’s the most coach friendly contracts ever. Sh*t crazy lol

They better strike while the iron is hot & get Napier...

Wasting all that time trying to get Lincoln Riley is gonna leave them S.O.L, he’s not leaving Oklahoma & will only leverage them for a new contract. They get Napier for much cheaper than it would cost to get Riley anyway & he’s already well established in Louisiana.

The problem is they have super high expectations & want a homerun big name coach that can compete on the recruiting trail with UGA & Bama, so they keep aiming for big targets like Jumbo, Riley, Franklin etc & they’ve all pretty much told them thanks but no thanks.

If they don’t make a move fast they gonna be stuck with Dana Holgorsen or some sh*t lol

He signed a contract extension through 2025 in December 2020. It automatically extended a year this season when they hit 9 wins.

The agents are abusing the ADs, it's embarrassing

Could totally see the LSU search turning into the Tennessee search the year they would up with Jeremy Pruitt. Napier seems all but set on UF don't see Stoops or BOB as good fits there. Dana in the SEC would be high comedy

It’s the most ****ed up market that exists in business. These guys are getting paid more than some of the best CEOs in the country. Private donations subsidize the absurd contracts and illegal payments to players drive success.
