OTish and SIAP - Bert going to be jobless
Rumors are the last saving grace for Bret Bielema's job are now gone and they plan to move on from him after this season. Where do you think he lands? Think he could go to Florida? Maybe Tennessee? Lots of options for him. Not sure the SEC is where he should look, but maybe Nebraska will make a move on him.

Here's the report which started the internet going.

And have a question about the photo. Why is it that college coaches all have state trooper bodyguards? When did they become heads of state?
November 19th, 2017 at 5:24 PM ^
ha, it is interesting. if youre actually serious id guess it began and subsequently became more popular as means to better travel thru traffic and/or over distances - safer and more efficient for 100 plus people (some whom are fairly famous) traveling thru crowds and whatnot.
college football is big business with well known coaches and players (both popularly liked and disliked) and they often deal with huge crowds. if they need assistance, why not seek it in the community

Whenever there's a public school involved it makes sense because they are employees of a state institution. For private schools, not sure.
November 19th, 2017 at 5:00 PM ^
That's a lot of beef.

I would love to see him at Nebraska, assuming Frost doesn't. Bert is a great interview and decent coach. Would be fun to have him back in the B1G.
November 19th, 2017 at 3:59 PM ^
So maybe Nebraska will rush to hire him.
But most likely, he is not going to get another job anytime soon.
November 19th, 2017 at 4:31 PM ^
I expect the Frost to be on the cornhusks by this time next week.
November 19th, 2017 at 5:01 PM ^
sarcastic comment about Nebraska, since the last time they were in this position, they rushed to get a coach no one wanted, Riley, which had many people, rightfully scratching their heads.
It was a joke....
November 19th, 2017 at 8:02 PM ^
... and so was my response.
IIRC, Bo Pelini's abrasiveness had alienated many people and Mike Riley was seen as an easy-going alternative who would help the program heal. Riley had engineered several upsets of better-financed, higher-talented teams, including cross state rival U of Oregon. Personally, I was interested to see how Riley would do in a program with a history of success. With the record at 4-7 heading into a final home game against Iowa, Riley appears to be toast.

Can Bert coach Olinemen?

Wrong guy is getting credit at PSU. W/O Moorehead this would have been Franklin's last year. That is who Tenn should be after.
November 19th, 2017 at 5:09 PM ^

D really has not been as good since Narduzzi left.
Still a good D. But they were 3-9 last year, any they are really not that great this year either. Most of their wins are one score differences.
November 19th, 2017 at 8:47 PM ^
Difference was people were guessing with MD/Duzz. Nobody had ever seen Dantonio without Narduzzi and since their defense was good they assumed it was because of Narduzzi and not Dantonio. However, Dantonio is a defensive guy and it turned out he knows what he's doing.
Franklin is different in that we saw him before Moorhead, clearly floundering. He hires a guy with a big offense at Fordham, and boom his offense and team takes off. However, Franklin is a numbskull guy come game time. So, it's much safer to say that Penn State will regress without Moorhead because we've seen them without Moorhead.

Surely the per diem for his BTN or SECNetwork color job will cover his daily Golden Corral?
November 19th, 2017 at 4:06 PM ^
He's the only coach who could fill Mangino's shoes...literally. He could.

Michigan, once the internet fires Harbaugh for going .750

Apparently it is b/c some on this board misconstrue criticism for desire to fire Harbaugh.
I think it's some strange defensive complex.
November 19th, 2017 at 5:27 PM ^
November 19th, 2017 at 4:43 PM ^
Hmmm. . . This discussion is beginning to sound familiar.
November 19th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
I'm OK with some pressure on Harbaugh, but not for his OSU record. He wasn't dealt anywhere near the same hand as Urban Meyer was a few years ago.
- - -
Or, maybe I could just scream "NO EXCUSES! HE NEEDS TO BEAT OSU OR ELSE! OR ELSE!!!" Yeah .....
- - -
We can start having serious Harbaugh conversations halfway through next year. At that point, we'll have had enough time to see how his first full class is turning out. There are already some clues (mostly positive) ...

Honestly, he should take some time off and/or become a DC, while waiting to take over for Ferentz when he retires.

He's put on an awful lot of weight since going to Arkansas
November 19th, 2017 at 4:34 PM ^
he has to be close to 4bills...he was a snack under 3hundy before he left Sconsin and now he looks like he wears a tarp. Like someone mentioned, he has to overhaul his image a bit.

Whenever a HC who's on the hot seat sees the AD who hired him get fired, he has to know his own days are numbered.
