Call it luck then. It is a crap shoot, but one could make an educated guess. I don't know how far ahead a team like FSU, or Texas is scheduled, but I would imagine about two to three years ahead. For instance, If I were trying to set a schedule, I'd try to get Florida next season when I know a young coach like Billy is going to have to clean some house & get his brand going. However I wouldn't want any part of a Florida team three, or four years from now. Another example would be a team like Oklahoma. They struggled with OOC opponents this season. And they're going into the SEC with a coach who just skipped town to get out of that kind of grief. They should be a huge target for an up & coming G-5 program. I would imagine an AD like Maggard would be looking at those kinds of things to predict the downfall of an FSU, or the future downfall of an OU.
So, just wanted to start a list of the names being thrown around the most:
Glen Schumann: d/c at Georgia. Another Saban student, young: 31
Dan Lanning: another co-d/c at Georgia
Josh Gattis: o/c at Michigan
Pete Golding: Bama d/c, another Saban disciple
Patrick Toney: current d/c, the only insider being considered
Jay Johnson: QB coach, Michigan State
Doug Nussmeier: QB coach Dallas Cowyboys
Rob Sale: OL coach, NY Giants
Jeff Lebby: OC and QB coach, Ole Miss
So far I like Golding the best.....seems to be the most like CBN.....or Doug Nussmeier.
I would think those UGA guys next jobs will be P5 head coaching jobs.
Nice list. I will say I have lots of Alabama friends who have been fans long before Saban and they cannot stand Pete Golding. I guess when you’re spoiled to perfection, good just ain’t good enough lol. Anyway I’d like to add Rob Sale to your list. It just makes too much sense for him to come home and finish what he and Billy started.
