2018 Official Ragin Pagin Football Coaching Carousel Thread

Mike Norvell of Memphis who was also in the running for the KState job made it clear earlier today that he was staying in Memphis.

Neal Brown was also in the running according to Footballscoop. Odd that nothing solid came along for Brown this year. I was sure he was a gonner.

I think this time next year we will be sweating Napier being mentioned in the coaching rumor mill. I’m glad it’s not starting this year

Perhaps, though from watching the process for a few years, it appears the stars really need to align to make it happen.....that's to say, a few really good seasons coupled with coaching vacancies at the right schools.

I figured Hud had done enough to get noticed, but other than an offer from Tulane, nothing ever came along him. Maybe the AD's had figured him out. Dunno.

Looks like Jay Johnson will join Mel Tucker as his OC for the University of Colorado.

Makes sense to me, one of the best football minds to coach on our campus.

And just a really good guy.

KState fans generally not too thrilled with their new hire.

They will be. This is Kansas State we're talking about. It's had real success with only the retiring coach. What did they expect? He'll do great, he's beaten them a couple of times as an AA coach.

Great guy with an awesome wife and son. I had the pleasure of sitting next to him and the Mrs at many baseball tournaments for a couple of years, as our sons were teammates. We also car pooled to Erath a few times a week together. Couldn’t ask for better people. Good to see Jay back on the field doing what he loves to do.

Lumberjacks hire Memphis DC Chris Ball as new coach

Northern Arizona has hired Memphis defensive coordinator Chris Ball as its next football coach.

Ball's hiring was announced by the school Monday.

Ball replaces Jerome Souers, who stepped down after 21 years to take another position within the athletic department.

Ball spent the past three seasons as the Tigers defensive coordinator under Mike Norvell. He led a defense that forced the fifth-most turnovers in the FBS over a three-year span and was third nationally in 2017 with 31.

Memphis lost both coordinators. I'd love for them to turn around and hire hall back from Tulane.

That would be hilarious.
