Big Coach Carousel Mailbag: The Lincoln Riley Thing

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com SUBSCRIBER EPISODE: Richard and Alex take a bunch of subscriber questions about the state of the coach carousel, about three weeks before things start to come to a head. Among the questions covered here: * Should you actually keep an eye on Lincoln Riley at USC? We’ve got a bit of disagreement here, but anything is possible * Could Lane Kiffin be waiting for the USC? Would that be possible anyway? * What’s up with UTSA’s Jeff Traylor? * Why did Nebraska extend Matt Rhule? Do we like it? * Could this coaching cycle finally bring some sanity to contract structures? (Do not hold your breath.) * Is Jeff Brohm a better candidate for bigger jobs or an extension? * Who is the darkhorse candidate for the Florida job? Speaking of that … * Jedd Fisch would leave for Florida, but UCLA? * Is Brent Brennan in over his head at Arizona? * Could Brent Venables’ success or failure at Oklahoma shift hiring trends back toward G5 coaches, rather than P4 coordinators? Why aren’t coordinators being mentioned more for major jobs? * What should we make of Clay Helton at Georgia Southern amid a decline? * Will Pat Narduzzi keep his OC and stud freshman QB? * Why do people bring up the idea that Auburn should’ve hired Cadillac Williams? * Is Chris Klieman’s seat hot at Kansas State? (No.) * Non-Petrino division, which possible Arkansas hires would qualify as clear whiffs? * What is the pulse check on Fran Brown’s long-term future at Syracuse? * How much influence do GM-type roles have in this year’s coaching hires? * How high could coaching salaries inflate this cycle?
