Coaching Changes in College Football 2019-20

As the football season winds down, coaching changes are bound to happen. High hopes, bitter losses, disappointing seasons are the keys to any great coaching change. During and after the bowl season, the hiring/firing process begins. Looking forward to the future, we will look back at this post and see if I have made a terrible analysis or not.

Ole Miss

The biggest winner throughout all of this is Ole Miss. The hiring of Lane Kiffin might be the biggest win of the off-season already. This coaching change is without a doubt Lane is one of the best college coaches. He turned Florida Atlantic into a powerhouse in Conference USA. After a brief stint at Alabama as the OC/QB coach, it felt like he was laughed off the coaching staff. As a head coach, he is 61-34 (in college). This really isn’t too shabby. I suppose he got out just in time for Alabama’s collapse this season.

Florida State

The second biggest winner is Florida State. Mike Norvell and his former Memphis Tigers were on a roll this season, but weirdly right at the end of an absolute peak season, he goes: “Nope, bye, I’m going to go to a worse team and try and do something with them.” There better be a big pay increase for anyone to want to go to a worse team and have to build up a team again. He can do it, but I just don’t get it. Nonsense. At least with Kiffin, he is upgrading after a fall, but there was no reason for Norvell to fall.

Rutgers

Rutgers continues to disappoint, but rehiring an old coach (Greg Schiano) is putting a band-aid on the larger systematic problem. What they need is a complete overhaul and a brand new coach, a wild card. Maybe Jason Garret, when he inevitably gets fired from Dallas. Yes, this match would not make any sense, but that it what Rutgers needs right now. There is always chaos before order.

Vanderbilt

To make another Dallas Cowboys reference, Vanderbilt is making the same mistake as the Cowboys by retaining a coach that has not produced. Derek Mason has not had a single winning season since he joined in 2014. He was given the famous “full support” mantra from the AD. So in closing, this couldn’t be a more Cowboys-Esque move unless Vanderbilt was in Texas. There needs to be a coaching change at Vanderbilt.

What do you think? Did I make some sense of the beginning of a new season? For more nonsense and great takes follow us on Social Media and check out The BlackOut for everything college football. Can checkout more nonsensical and great opinions Belly Up College Football articles here.
