Well the SC/ND rivalry just swung the other way.
Guess it's Fickell to ND not Norman

I'm not convinced they don't promote Freeman.  If they don't, I'm guessing he would be Cincinnati's top choice to replace Fickel.

Also holy hell if Freeman isn't coaching at ND I hope Ryan Day is blowing up his phone
If Fickel goes to ND, Freeman to UC?

Kelly to LSU at age 60. LSU doesn't want to keep coaches around very long. And Kelly isn't going to stay long anyway.

I wouldn't want Mark Stoops.  
UK has simply replaced Tennessee for 3rd in the East (generally).  Once UTK ceases to be a dumpster fire, UK will resort back to what it was.  

Hell, if they didn't get Robinson from Nebraska this year, they'd have lost 2-3 more games.  

He's certainly improved their program, but not anything special.

They finished second behind Georgia, and Tennessee was third.

I think Notre Dame will go Freeman.  Things aren't bad right now and a little continuity this time will be viewed well.  This wouldn't have been a type of hire a decade ago, but it worked well enough for Oklahoma and Ohio State (promoting a coordinator who is obviously quickly rising up).  I am not sure that is the best move, but it limits recruiting damage and sets things up better if they make one of the playoff bowls.  Those shouldn't be deciding factors, but if it is close, they will definitely be considered.

I don't know if I'd call him not anything special. He took a doormat and made it deeply competent. That's not at all easy to do, especially in terms of maintaining. Like, we can say "if X happened, then yada, yada" but even if they lose the bowl, you're getting one of the four best records since like 1950. 

THAT SAID, being able to make Kentucky super competent is not the same skill as getting Oklahoma to a consistent 10 wins in the SEC. He has one of the best jobs in CFB for his skill set, and leaving is only gonna make a mess for all involved.

This is what I would do.

Promoting Freeman would be bold, I think. Not that he's a bad coach. But that's a big boy job for a guy with a short resume.
