This is Wisconsin saying "we can't afford a move, we are not in position to hire a better coach than the other schools looking, and we are content to ride this out with a coach that won't turn it around."

Makes our flight tracking look amatuer in comparison.

I think the economics of CFB nowadays are going to push a lot more schools to make these kind of moves

They made some phone calls behind the scenes, talked to some agents, didn’t like what they heard. Decided to take it up the ass for another year in hopes for a better situation next year. (Which may or may not happen. Next year’s carousel might be just as crazy) Now they have to get the PR machine rolling, piss on their fans and call it rain.

It’s the only reason FSU hasn’t fired Norvell into the sun yet.

I'll bet at some point, the forced paitence is going to work out for a school.

A coach they wanted to fire but couldn't will get things turned around with another year and the school will be thanking the stars they didn't fire him.

This is basically my view on Fred. First several year were a disaster. Nebrasketball isn't worth investing big money in a coach when we have have pocket lint levels on NIL. So just ride the ups and downs with him

Also just spit balling but I wonder if coaches like Dillingham and Key will prefer jobs with lower expectations who are perhaps less willing to choke funding if you end up disappointing some season.

Just thinking about levers to dump a floundering coach on an undesirable deal and one of them is make his life hell with not funding a competitive roster

That’s why I think Campbell is a lifer at Cockeye State

Anyone hearing any more about PSU? Just curious now that it doesn’t effect us.

Some people scoff at this, but I do think having high levels of success at their alma maters are big deals for both of these guys as well.

When does Sandusky’s parole come up. He’s always an option. Lol

Plus they are in the B12 which is significantly easier to win in vs the P2.

it's not even the expectations, but Dillingham is an alumni and local. I wonder if the money has gotten so crazy that bigger numbers almost don't matter. If you are working a job you love in a place that is special to you, are you really going to leave that for a job making $10 million/year when you already make $6 million/year?

He's young and already has generational wealth locked up. after that threshold the money just isn't as important

Yeah I was going to add that they're both alumni.
