Good post for discussion and agree with you!
USC-
Haden had a Stroke Type setback but he will choose the next coach. The Interim Coach displayed some great coaching yesterday and even against ND, but we shall see? The Alumni are delighted right now and USC is still in the Conference Hunt, they win it and they may keep the Interim Coach?
South Carolina
They will be looking far and hard for the right coach because they have devoted Fans and Boosters. They will go after anyone and everyone even in SEC, NFL and pay him what he wants.
Miami
Under Donna Shalala she has become the Steve Pederson of Miami. Few want to work there in College Football. It is Grand opportunity but she wants another Barry Alvarez and that is hard to find and he refused her many times and too old now? It will be another hit and miss selection. Wannstedt could become a Candidate? Memphis coach could be perfect fit but will he be invited or take it?
Maryland
No one is as dumb as the President of Maryland and the bad news he thinks he is smart? They have no idea whom to choose and few will want that job?
Rutgers:
Scandals at Rutgers continue and they are happy they are in the big ten, but they really do need to bring back Schiano! It is Mine Field for Coaches right now in all Sports! Yet, it could become great if they select the right candidate but they will mess it up?
Possibly UVa:
I would give London another year, he has recruited well enough to hurt Vt program in wins, and he has the played the toughest OOC Schedule for 5 years now, and he just barely missed 6 games! If they do get rid of him, they may hire Golden from Miami, and he was there DC for years! Or go for Ruhle at Temple!
Possibly Va Tech:
They are now planning a transition from Beamer to someone else and Beamer us involved too? They will go after a Beamer type from a lesser Non-Power Program whether it is this or next year is the only guess?
Iowa State
They love him despite losing and they will find it hard to fire him? He keeps beating Ferentz but that is growing old with loding seasons. Finding some one good will be tough too!
Illinois:
Interim coach is under consideration depending on the season? Tough selection but I would grab NW Fitzgearald but I don't think he will leave NW! Ohio State OC that is now the Houston coach could be the leading Candidate if i were them or the Memphis coach?
Texas??
I think it depends on the New AD but I think Strong gets another year for just out coaching Stoops, and barely beating OU!
WVU:
You forgot WVU! Unless he beats TCU this week and that can happen, I think he is Texas Toast! The Houston and Memphis will be mentioned, or CoachRod could comeback!
UNC
May be on NCAA Probation soon and he may leave soon afterwards! Most of the other ACC will remain the same.
Vanderbilt & Purdue could pull the trigger as well!
Other Opening will occur if they lose their Coaches like Missy State, Houston, Temple, Memphis, NW, and others!
That is quite a list. And oh please, this was just a statement on the potential and definite coaching openings, not a referendum on other program's interest in Pat Narduzzi.
Here is what I expect, Narduzzi name will come up if he beats UNC, ND, Duke, ULou, and Miami or at least 3 of them! It is my opinion, Coach Narduzzi will not remain silent like Chryst did after the Wisky Job came open in his first year and he remained silent for weeks?
Coach Narduzzi is committed to rebuilding the Pitt Program and will stay by his Character with his Players and will announce he is not going to be a candidate and will not accept any Coaching position as his name comes up, he will do that is Hours and Days, not Weeks? Coach Pat is a very special person not just a Special Coach. Even if the MSU job came open, I don't think Coach Pat would go back to MSU? I will be surprised if I am wrong on this opinion!
