All are better jobs than Miami and after Jimbo goes to LSU, the Noles go past them as well.

No

only jobs available better then Miami are...

USC
LSU
Texas
Georgia (maybe)

 

[nako xl]

USC and LSU will obviously be the top jobs.

But how many chances does USC get? What if this hire doesn't work either?

Huh?

Ohio State. Hands down.

Michigan.

Bama.

Arguably, Notre Dame.

Currently, definitely... Florida State and Florida.

EDIT

just saw you said available. The inclusion of LSU, Texas, and Georgia all of which are not available kinda throws me off.

VT and South Carolina are not better jobs than Miami. People forget how bad South Carolina was before HBC got there, that state belongs to Clemson. VT has a nice recruiting base and Beamer built a winner there, but he never reached the promised land.

Read my post. I edited it before you replied.

He said "only jobs available better then Miami are..." then listed almost all unavailable jobs. I misread his wording and replied with the jobs in the country that are definitely better than Miami currently, imo.

 

[nako xl]

SoCar is not a better job than Miami. Neither is VT.

Now if it turns out that the UMia admins want to nerf the football program again and have no intention of paying for a big name coach, staff, or indoor practice faciliy, I'd argue both of those jobs are potentially better.

(UPDATE 11/23)  The season ends Saturday for the Gamecocks against Clemson and it won’t take long for Ray Tanner to move forward on hiring his next coach.  We would expect interim coach Shawn Elliott to have his interview as early as Sunday or the first part of next week.  We’re not expecting anything to come of this other than a thank you for stepping in during a difficult situation. We are told Tanner tentatively is going to meet with Tom Herman Monday or Tuesday of next week. The absolute date remains fluid because of Herman’s schedule.  His team plays Navy Friday and with a win will move on to the AAC Championship game the next Saturday.  That would likely delay the process until after that game is played.

Will your school & boosters give him $ to buy players?

After the NCAA drama, probably not. Don't know if they'd stoop to that level to get kids to come to a place where it snows more than you see the sun.

From Athlon Sports:

10 Coaching Candidates to Replace Scott Shafer at Syracuse

Dino Babers, head coach, Bowling Green

Babers’ name is going to be mentioned in connection with several jobs this offseason, so if he’s the coach athletic director Mark Coyle wants, Syracuse will have to pay and compete with some bigger schools. However, Babers fits the profile of what has been mentioned with this job. He runs an exciting offense – averaging 43.8 points per game – and also has FBS head coach experience. After two successful years at Eastern Illinois (19-7), Babers is 16-9 with two MAC East titles at Bowling Green. Babers is a former assistant under Art Briles at Baylor.

Randy Edsall, former Maryland head coach

Everything suggests new athletic director Mark Coyle is looking for a fresh start and someone with a track record on offense. However, Edsall is a name to watch, as he’s a former Syracuse player and coached at the school from 1980-90. He also spent time as an assistant at Boston College and Georgia Tech before taking over at UConn in 1999. Edsall went 74-70 with the Huskies, including an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl in 2010. Edsall’s five-year tenure at Maryland did not go well, as he was dismissed after a 22-33 record.



Scott Frost, offensive coordinator, Oregon

Frost is regarded as a rising star in the assistant ranks and is one of the top offensive coordinators in the Pac-12. The former Nebraska quarterback started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for two Big 12 programs (Kansas State and Nebraska), followed by a two-year stint at Northern Iowa. He was hired by Chip Kelly in Eugene in 2009 and was promoted to offensive coordinator after Kelly left for the Eagles. Under Frost’s direction, Oregon led the Pac-12 in scoring offense in 2014 and ranks first after 11 games in 2015.


Pete Lembo, head coach, Ball State

Lembo’s stock has dipped over the last two seasons, as Ball State is just 8-15 since the start of 2014. However, there’s a strong track record for Lembo. He went 44-14 at Lehigh with two playoff appearances, followed by a 35-22 stint at Elon from 2006-10. Lembo is 33-28 at Ball State and guided the program to back-to-back bowl appearances from 2012-13.



Doug Marrone, Jacksonville Jaguars assistant

Would Marrone be interested in a second stint at Syracuse? Or is the better question whether or not the program would be interested in having him back in 2016? The former Syracuse player coached the Orange from 2009-12, engineering a turnaround in four seasons. Marrone went 25-25 at Syracuse, which included two bowl appearances and two eight-win seasons. Marrone left after the 2012 campaign to coach the Bills and went 15-17 in two seasons. He’s currently an assistant with the Jaguars.



Joe Moglia, head coach, Coastal Carolina

Moglia is one of the most interesting coaches to pop up in coaching searches in recent seasons. He’s a former CEO at TD Ameritrade and returned to coaching in 2009 after stepping into the business sector in 1983. Moglia spent two seasons at Nebraska as an unpaid assistant from 2009-10 and worked with the Omaha Nighthawks in 2011. He’s coached at Coastal Carolina the last four seasons, guiding the Chanticleers to a 41-12 mark in that span.


Joe Moorhead, head coach, Fordham

Moorhead is a rising star in the FCS coaching ranks, guiding Fordham to a 38-12 record over the last four seasons. Under Moorhead’s watch, the Rams have made three consecutive trips to the FCS playoffs. He also has stops in his career as an assistant at Akron and worked at UConn from 2009-11.



Lincoln Riley, offensive coordinator, Oklahoma

Riley is one of the rising stars in the FBS coordinator ranks and runs an exciting, up-tempo spread offense. The Texas native started his coaching career under Mike Leach at Texas Tech and was hired at East Carolina under Ruffin McNeill to coordinate the Pirates’ attack in 2010. Riley was hired by Bob Stoops at Oklahoma prior to 2015 and has brought significant improvement to the offense. The Sooners rank third nationally with an average of 44.6 points per game this season. Riley does not have any FBS head coaching experience.



Mike Sanford, offensive coordinator, Notre Dame

Sanford has ties to Syracuse athletic director Mark Coyle, as both worked at Boise State in 2014. The former Boise State quarterback has quickly moved through the coaching ranks, starting with a stint as a graduate assistant under his father Mike at UNLV in 2005-06. He made a stop at Stanford from 2007-08 and at Yale for 2009, followed by a one-year stint at WKU in 2010. Sanford worked under David Shaw at Stanford from 2011-13 and was hired at Boise State by Bryan Harsin to coordinate the offense in 2014. The Broncos led the Mountain West with an average of 39.7 points per game last season. Sanford joined Notre Dame’s staff prior to this season and has played a key role in the development of quarterback DeShone Kizer.



Dave Warner, co-offensive coordinator, Michigan State

Warner is a former Syracuse quarterback (1979-81) and coached with the Orange as an assistant from 1982-83. In addition to his ties to the program, Warner has developed a solid reputation during his career as an assistant. Warner has made stops at Kent State, Kansas, Wyoming, Connecticut, Houston, Southern Miss and Cincinnati before coming to Michigan State prior to the 2007 season. Warner was promoted to co-offensive coordinator with the Spartans prior to 2013. He’s not the biggest name on this list, but Warner has ties to the program and has a background on offense.

Michael Pittman had 16 Rec, 356 Yds, 5 TD in a losing effort against Bishop Amat in the playoffs this weekend

 

Dan Patrick this morning...

"I think USC has a commitment from somebody right now. From what I'm told, USC knows who they want... off the books... until their season plays out... they have a verbal commitment from somebody to take over next year. Chip Kelly is not on the list."

He then continued on to say he thinks it's a splash hire and said "maybe it's the last thing Pat Haden does as AD..."

 

[paradise50]

his dad, Michael Pittman, Michael Pittman?

 

[Ja's 2¢]

from football scoop:

UCF: Per sources, new AD Danny White plans to interview both Geoff Collins and Randy Shannon from Jim McElwain’s staff at Florida. Separate sources believe that Dino Babers is expected to interview as well. We also have been told that Gene Chizik has been discussed as well. As more becomes clear we’ll keep you posted.

Shannon :x

 

[paradise50]

should add a :x for Chizik too

NC or not

any of us could've delivered that money bag to College Park

 

[herbshuttles15]

I hope Shannon gets that job

I'm guessing John Harbaugh

 

[jinkazama]

IMO USC (gamecocks) is wasting their time even talking to Herman. Unless he has ties to SC the other openings are way more attractive.

MURDERER'S ROW

I hope they're somehow in a position to make the top 4 but get screwed because of that weak ****

 

[herbshuttles15]

September 3, 2016
Clemson at Auburn
Albama vs USC in Cowboys Stadium
LSU vs Wisconsin in Lambeau
UCLA at TAMU
Notre Dame at Texas
Houston vs Oklahoma in NRG Stadium
UGA vs UNC in the Georgia Dome

That should be a great opening weekend

 

[nako xl]

his dad, Michael Pittman, Michael Pittman?

Yeah

 It should still be a good game.  I'm expecting Urban to have those guys motivated for this, and OSU will probably come out playing the best they have all season. 

Division/playoff wise it's not over for either team either.  PSU has a chance against MSU if PSU's OL can give Hack some time.
