Which College Football Head Coaching Job, now Open, Is the Best? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Three college football head coaching positions have recently opened up, due to in-season firings. Which job is the most attractive?

opus · 09-25-2025, 05:06 PM

Old school name-wise I'd say UCLA. But they're all big time schools who can offer big time money with big time pressure to win.

UCLA Bruins are the most suitable open for the coaching gig

Now the Arkansas Razorbacks position is open following the firing of head coach Sam Pittman, after 6 seasons at the helm. So several conferences now have 1 opening each:

SEC: Arkansas
B1G: UCLA
ACC: Virginia Tech
Big 12: Oklahoma State

0-4 UCLA beat seventh ranked Penn State.

I think some "HOUSE FOR SALE" signs will be popping up in the front lawn of Penn St. head coach James Franklin...

Losing at home to 22 point underdog Northwestern will go a long ways toward that (to add to the pain, PSU’s starting quarterback gets carted off)

Yes, their QB is out for the season, according to Franklin.

Several experts picked PSU as a Nat'l Championship top contender in pre-season.

It's a wild college football season. PSU and Florida State are in free-fall. Their fans are talking about $50 million PLUS AMOUNT buyouts of the head coaches, and that amount can easily double due to the cost of hiring their replacements.

I think we're going to see "Jimbo Fisher 2.0" somewhere, likely right after season's end: a school will bite the bullet and pay the exorbitant price to unload their HC. Norvell at FSU has been losing conference games at an alarming rate over the past 2 seasons.

James Franklin voted for Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech vacancy will be filled by James Franklin

biffbronson · 11-20-2025, 01:50 PM

Jobs that will still need to be filled: Penn St., Oklahoma St., UCLA, Florida, LSU, Auburn, Arkansas, Stanford... and likely others I'm missing or will be opening.

California Golden Bears have just fired head football coach Justin Wilcox.

Also, on my recent list I neglected to include University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), another school looking for its next head coach.

Bet you didn’t see the Michigan thing coming.
