Sounds like PSU is really focused on BYU's head coach. Probably rooting hard for Texas Tech this weekend.

Seem to be more than the usual number of P4 openings this season.

Obviously, the issue is availability of good candidates.  Hiring another P4 HC creates another opening.  So, the pool is G6 HCs and assistants.  It's a crap shoot.  I think many/most new hire coaches fail and get fired in 4-5 years.  I believe in many cases the fired HC is as good or better than any replacement.

Ed Zachery - a few decades ago there was more patience, perhaps to avoid larger buyouts

seems to be plenty of money floating around for the carousel to spin faster

Why is LSU sending you emails?

This sheds light on another aspect of this sport that needs fixing.  Coaches are going to move around, whether they should or not, and whether we like it or not.  

Ole Miss now enters the post-season without its head coach and a significant number of its other staff who are leaving for Baton Rouge.  LSU was willing to let Kiffin coach through the post-season, as he clearly wanted to do, but Ole Miss was not.  I'm not much for a heavy hand, but maybe some firmer rules about these things would avoid this unenviable position where these kids are left high and dry as the reward for their historic season.  

fwiw, Tulane's AD David Harris has announced that Sumrall will coach their CCG, and the playoffs, should they be selected, citing that it's the right thing to do for their student-athletes.  Presumably, Florida doesn't have the same qualms as Ole Miss.
