FC: M'Fer article on his selections for new coaching hires....

[Midnighter]

Free on TOOOS - but, if you don't want or care to read, his prognosticated hires of note....

Nebraska - Bill O'Brien
LSU - Mel Tucker
Miami - Mario Cristobal
USC - James Franklin

Wonder why he didn't have any hires to replace the guys leaving for these jobs?

Coaching carousel: Farrell's picks for the job openings

Could James Franklin take over the job at USC and become an instant hit?

BO'B (nie FLO) to Nebraska? Seems as bad of fit as JoeMo to Mississippi State

I'm not sure what the policy is.

Way, way back, when BWI got their 1st major competitor, we did remove links to that site, or edited posts to remove links to that site.

After a 2nd major competitor appeared, things got kind of murky. Then you had competitors #1 and #2 merge. Then a number of fan sites appeared.

I have never linked articles from a competitors site. I didn't think it was something I should be doing. However, I stopped deleting posts or editing out links from posts by others that did so.

Now we add in the dynamic that most of us spent years on Rivals.

Working through the complexities, my thinking is that free articles from competitors (Rivals & 24/7) are fine, while paid articles should not be linked (and summaries of paid articles should never be posted). In additions, articles from other sites (Black Shoe Diaries, Roar Lions Roar, Victory Bell, etc.) are also fine. If I get different instructions from On3, I'll pass them along.

Yeah, I don't get that at all. Thinking the article was loosely based on this kind of research technique...

Unless BOB has completely changed his feelings towards recruiting there's zero chance he's taking a job with literally no natural recruiting territory that will involve selling two decades of mediocrity across the country.

Hope his auto insurance covers windshield replacement, if PSU fans make him want to put his fist through a windshield, the Husker fans will make him put his fist through the windshield, many times over.

And I don't see them becoming a finesse pass team anytime soon. I think OB would be a good fit at certain college jobs - Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan, maybe USC. I think the more it's an 'east coast' school with solid academics the better. Maybe Boston College or Syracuse if he was desperate enough.

I realize the guy is throwing crap at the wall but I'm not convinced Frost will be out the door at Nebraska. I know they're not happy with the record but they've been in every game they've play this season with the exception of the Northwestern blow out. Needless to say, the final three games of the season are huge for Frost. Play OSU tough then beat Wisconsin and Iowa, I think Frost will be back in 2022.

I find Bill O going to Nebraska completely laughable.

Any possibility of Franklin to USC will depend on how our season finishes. 6-6 or 7-5 is going to be a tough sell to the USC faithful in my opinion, especially after being 4-5 last year

Frost may be back in 2022 but the other 3 are not happening.
If I was Frost and I'm trying to convince them to keep me the first thing I would do is get rid of their QB coach. Martinez hasn't improved since he was a freshman.

I can see BOB to usc. I think his brand of offense is a perfect fit for how USC thinks of itself. He’d be a disaster in Nebraska.

 

[PSUJam]

Well it won't be Fleck taking any of those jobs.

It's Farrell. He use this technique:

Didn’t BSD merge with Rivals?
