If you go by USF fans reactions, you'd swear Gilbert wasn't going to be their OC next year. They are all rejoicing that he's leaving

If they were smart, they'd be demanding their head coach leave instead.

They went outside the family for their basketball hire as well. And, for that matter, their AD hire.

Yup, Simmons replaced by an outsider. Their AD probably pointed to the lack of looking beyond the network as s hinderence.

McNees should do all it can to retain their roots. I’d bet they’re going to regret this move away from the tree.

Update on App State’s coaching search

At this time, sources tell FootballScoop, NC State offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford is a legit candidate for the job. Western Carolina head coach Mark Speir has interviewed, as has interim head coach Mark Ivey. Each of these three have significant coaching experience at App and Ivey played in Boone as well.

In addition to these three, sources tell FootballScoop a number of coordinators, predominantly on the offensive side of the ball and from or familiar with the region, have sought interviews. Additionally, a number of experienced head coaches have called in as well. Auburn running backs coach Tim Horton, who previously coached at App State, has been mentioned as a candidate by many.

Gillin has a number of excellent options to carry the program forward. We’ll keep you updated as more becomes clear.

That could be interesting, we get them at home next year..but that liberty team beat Troy this year so they aren’t void of talent.

Sources: Kansas State zeroing in on Chris Klieman

Sources have told FootballScoop that K-State has conducted a wide-ranging search for Bill Snyder’s replacement, with as many as seven candidates on the list to be interviewed.

But North Texas head coach Seth Littrell, mentioned by many in Manhattan throughout the fall as the top candidate, has withdrawn from the search, indicating K-State is nearing a hire — and sources told FootballScoop Taylor is zeroing in on a familiar name in North Dakota State head coach Chris Klieman.

Taylor promoted Klieman to NDSU’s head coach after Craig Bohl left for Wyoming.

In his fifth season leading the premier FCS program, Klieman is 66-6 with three national championships and perhaps one more in the offing. The Bison are the top seed in the FCS playoffs and are set to host No. 8 Colgate in the quarterfinal round on Saturday.

FCS straight to P5? That doesn't happen very often I'd imagine.
