Fargo Sources: North Dakota State head coach Tim Polasek has agreed in principle to a new seven-year contract, which will bring him through the 2033 season. The new deal includes a significant raise, additional staff money and more program resources. Guess that takes him off the Beavis radar.

NDSU visits Autzen in 2028.

Beavis has their sights set on Justin Wilcox.

I’ve heard that’s a no.

Yep, there was interest, and then it waned.

Funny how becoming DC for OBD could make it wane.

I recall him having one good year as a DC and that was 2009 at BSU.

Wilcox has had a very solid D most of his time at Cal with pretty mediocre talent overall. He really had their D humming at an elite level, then cratered in the immediate post-pandemic world, but had built it back up.

In the 2024 season, the Cal defense ranked 14th in scoring defense, 2nd in turnover margin, and 23rd in sacks nationally during the season. At Cal! Now he wasn’t DC, but it’s clearly his trademark.

I think he’d be an upgrade personally.

Samples to N Texas???

Oregon Coach Ra'Shaad Samples Is A Sneaky Candidate For A Texas Job

Yeah, we all know about the piddly jobs open like LSU, Florida, and Penn State. Virginia Tech got the ten win man with Franklin, no Ohio State, Michigan, or Oregon to worry about in the ACC.

Oklahoma State got the other Morris(not Chad). UCLA is looking for a Kenny Chesney song. But who is going to take the jobs at Beavis, and Woo Piggie?

North Texas HC Eric Morris is moving on and up and will be on the sidelines when OBD visits Stillwater in 2026.

I expect he will bring many Mean Green players along with him.

With JMU in the hunt for the G6 12th seed, I think Chesney will wait until he knows whether JMU is in or out.

I have no idea, based on performance, why anyone thinks Kiffin is worth $14 million a season. More than Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, and Dabo, who have won championships.

Kiffen had Ole Miss on the cusp of the PO last season, and his team choked at Florida. This season, Ole Miss had the SEC's 5th easiest conference schedule and played dog meat out of conference.

Kiffin won a conference championship at G5 FAU, and that's it.

He is not a great recruiter. His rosters at Ole Miss have been built on players from the portal.

With Kiffin noting in his pre-Egg Bowl press conference that today's players care about money and not who their coach is, I think he's off to Florida or LSU.

Don't blame me for leaving. If the players don't care about who is coaching them, why should I stick around Oxford town?🤬

The Ole Miss AD has said the program will match any salary offers. If he's smart, which is debatable, he'll stick around. He'll have a two-year haven't won a Natty yet grace period at LSU and perhaps three years at Florida.

I believe better coaches will be hired for less money.

Including Tulane coach Jon Sumrall, who will be hired to replace Kiffin if Lane heads down the lane. 😁

I sure hope not.

When Dan Lanning hired Samples, almost everyone had serious doubts (except for the fact that DL is a trustworthy head hunter). Now no one in the family doubts Samples. He has been awesome in every way.

Samples is Oregon's assistant head coach. When Dan Lanning retires in another 50 years or so, Samples should be ready to take over. 😁

The college coaching carousel. Never a DeBoering Moment.

I've been in the minority when saying I want Jedd Fisch. He's a Florida graduate, he builds his roster primarily through recruiting, and he has a sharp offensive mind. The only question with him, is he has only been at his current and past gig, two years. But, he took a dumpster fire Arizona, and led them to ten wins his second year. He has Washington getting incrementally better.

He's a better long term answer imo, and he doesn't carry the baggage that Lane has. I might have my words used against me if he(Kiffin) does great at LSU. But I'd prefer a guy who doesn't publicly make it known he might take another job.

Ole Miss has had to deal with this three times already. Worse yet, he is doing it during their best season ever.

Lane might come to Florida, but he is a guy that would openly flirt with being the Cowboys, Dolphins, Jets, Browns, or whatever NFL opening. No thanks.

If it's him, I'll wish it well. I would hope he would prove me wrong, but I doubt it.
