Would Oregon dare hire Jim Leavitt?
This is all kinda trippy - true story......
I went to South Florida my freshman year of college.  Jim Leavitt was the coach.  I went to one game at the Bucs' pirate ship stadium and it was against Western Kentucky.....quarterbacked by Willie Taggart.
Crazy.

Frost should be good, but he did just give up 55 points to Memphis.....so let's not build a statue of him just yet.
Hey I'm with you. And I've said as much in the past.
I think Frost was a great hire and has major upside, but there's a risk. He's not a 100% sure thing. Nothing really is. But his sample size is small. Only been a HC for 2 years.

sounds like Taggart and FSU are hashing out a deal. Don't know where this leaves Oregon if it happens.

No shot at the job and don't know if he's ready or a fit but I think Leohnard at Wisconsin could kill it at FSU. His youth, energy, intensity, defensive scheme and NFL experience with the athletes like Derwin James and Levontae Taylor could be pretty scary man.
This is only his 2nd year as a coach and first as a DC. I know he did a lot of coaching in the NFL as a player, but still. He needs time.

He's got young kids in Madison. I don't think he'll leave anytime soon - much like Chryst stayed until it was time.

Jimmy is gonna be a head coach.

I know who the next AD will be. It's Chris McIntosh. He's being groomed.

I can see HCPC sticking around another 6-7 years as the HC. I can also see him sticking on as a co-coach or OC while letting Jimmy take the reigns. Not much ego with those two men.

Jimmy has complete control of his side. Not a lot of HC would allow that. HCPC has done it with Aranda, Wilcox, and now, Jimmy.

Sounds like Taggert to FSU is basically a done deal, and he's trying to bring Leavitt with him.

I'm far from being a Graham fan, but you don't fire Graham to hire this guy. Jeez.
