NCAA NCAAF 2025 Offseason

[RIPPA]

I am gonna have to move this all to an offseason thread but that is tomorrow's problem

West Virginia fired Neal Brown

Also Mack Brown won't coach the bowl game so UNC named Freddie Kitchens as interim

[RIPPA]

Not only is it firing times but it is also ENTERING THE PORTAL~! time

USC QB Miller Moss has announced he is entering the portal

He will have one year of eligibility left

[RIPPA]

FAU has named Texas Tech OC Zach Kittley

He becomes the youngest HC in the FBS at the age of 33

[RIPPA]

Iowa QB Cade McNamara is entering the portal

He needs a waiver from the NCAA to be granted a 7th year of eligibility

 

[RIPPA]

Oklahoma's Jackson Arnold is entering the Portal

He will have two seasons of eligibility left

[Gonzo]

Kid should probably have a PhD by the time he leaves there.

I saw someone point out (because I hadn't done the math) that Bowman was in the same HS class as Trevor Lawrence

[RIPPA]

UCLA has fired Eric Bieniemy as OC

Talk about a fall...

[RIPPA]

For what it is worth - Bieniemy's agent is claiming that it was always planned that Bieniemy would only coach at UCLA one year and return to the NFL for the 2025 season

Sure sure

Turns out not having Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback makes calling plays a lot tougher. 

[RIPPA]

Reportedly Bill Belicheck interviewed for the UNC job

[Brian Fowler]

I just can't picture Belicheck on the recruiting trail, trying to talk players into coming to UNC.

I think he would likely immediately improve the defense of any school, but it's hard to imagine him wanting to deal with school administration, boosters, collectives, NIL, recruiting, the ACC and the NCAA. Just doesn't seem like he has the temperament for that. 

Plus, do they really want to replace the 74 year old with a 72 year old, especially one that has never coached at the college level?

Man, I'm old enough to remember when Bieniemy was on the list of NFL head coaching candidates every year and every year that he didn't get hired a bunch of people would yell "RACISM BLARG LARG" and it turns out that maybe he just wasn't as great as a lot of people thought.

People raved about him when he was the running backs coach in Minnesota when Adrian Peterson was there, because certainly coaching that guy was a tough gig.

"Lots of people go to school for 7 years. They're called doctors."

[Brian Fowler]

Turns out that's a parody account and it's not true. 

So Cade McNamara, assuming he's granted his second medical redshirt, will be the oldest former Michigan quarterback in college football next year.

Having seen part of the 19-13 UCLA/USC game, it’s not a surprise at least one OC from that game got fired

Now EB is available for people to suggest he hang around the Chiefs for the rest of their season

[RIPPA]

Utah State is hiring Bronco Mendenhall

The thing about having an adversarial relationship with your university is that you can never stop winning. The second you start losing, the posse is gonna come for you.

This is like the opposite version of Neal Brown, who managed to stay employed at WVU longer than he had any right to, simply by virtue of being a nice guy who was easy to work with.

Gundy has his first losing season in almost 20 years, and they’re like, “Get this motherfucker outta here!”

I mean if Bill wants to coach a program that would consider 8 to 9 wins a year a solid accomplishment, come to West Virginia.  Hell put on a red hat every now and then we will make you the fucking governor

[Cobra Commander]

apparently Belichick's plan for UNC involves a guarantee to make his son the heir apparent

so Belichick is going with the Bobby Knight Texas Tech plan?

Given the way his team played today, I've heard worse ideas. *Cough*Jimbo*Cough*

Looks like Gundy has agreed to the Harbaugh special price cut contract. See if it works out as well for the Pokes.

Scott Frost returns to UCF!
