I got a different take on most of those projections.


Fedora seems like the most logical to be gone, but I also think they way underperformed last year due to injuries and they will rebound to be a bowl team this year.

The next on my list is Bronco because I think that's a 3-4 win team and his AD has had a year now to assess the situation. I strongly expect Mike Bobo will be the HC at UVA in a year, he's got a relationship with Carla Williams from her time at UGA and he's done a nice job at Colorado St.

After that......maybe Clawson moves on but this doesn't seem like one of his strongest teams. Maybe Cutcliffe retires, but it feels like to me that he's got 3-5 years left (he's 64 now).

NCSU just double downed on Doeren and he's recruiting really well. No chance they fire him, double he leaves on his own after his public UT dance last year. Higher chance that Fuente is gone on his own accord than Doren in my mind.

Pitt went through like 4 coaches in 5 years and I think that weight heavily on them. I don't expect they will be looking to try again. I also think Narduzzi found a QB last year and that's a bowl team or better.

Louisville could move on from Petrino, but the only reason I can think of is that if they are actually consious of their image and trying to clean house from the Jurich/Pitino/Papa Johns era. Petrino wins too much and assuming Louisville remains committed to valuing wins over integrity, I don't see him going anywhere.

The Paul Johnson conundrum will persist. Much of his fanbase hate him (just had lunch with a GT fan the other day, it's amazing how much contempt they have for him). But he's just successful enough and the administration must have fear of how they turn over a roster full of 1950's players to a modern coach. I think he's there for the longterm, like another decade. But it is admittedly under weird circumstances.
