Don't know if there is a thread or not....didn't see one. If there is, go fuck yourself if you're going to whine about it.
I'm guessing Mack "retires".
I'm guessing Kiffin is gone and I'm thinking Nebraska may come open too as Pelini has never done much to curry favor with the higher ups there and is generally considered to be a turd.
That is 3 really, really, good jobs.

Dan Mullen comes to mind.

I think Mullen is a damn good coach and I'm not sure how much they improve over him... but yeah...if I'm a MS State booster I'm starting to wonder when the next jump forward comes. It's been a while now.

Pinkel should be gone if Mizzou has another bad year.

I have a hard time envisioning Missouri being able to hire any top shelf coach, no matter how SEC they now think they are. They're going to be doing like KY always has - first time so-so coordinators like Stoops or burnouts like Brooks. The only hope they have to get some guy with a burning hard on for revenge like Petrino.
I've always maintained that they really ought to think about hiring Nutt for a two or three year period to build up excitement and get them at least accustomed to what physical SEC play is supposed to be.

Pinkel is gone unless they have a miracle season. I agree it's shitty job, but they just don't like him anymore. They are in much of the same situation we were with Nutt.
I don't think Petrino can land a top tier job, but I'll be worried about Miss St and Missouri hiring him. They will get told "no" a lot, and Petrino is a winner. Maybe Slive has put some sort of hiring ban on him. Auburn fans sure wanted him.

Mullen is good at putting together a program, and has a decent offensive system, but he's almost as bad as You Know Who at play calling and game management.

Mack is definitely toast. He's been on thin ice for a few years and surely can't survive another one. I scanned ShaggyBevo and see they're throwing around the usual names: Strong, Briles, Patterson, Mendenhall. I don't think they'll go after Petrino. He's still too nuclear for them.
Kiffin can still save himself. They don't play Oregon this year so they're only really tough games are Stanford, ND and UCLA. They could go 8-4 and I doubt they would make a change.
There always seems to be some turnover in the SEC. Mullen and Pinkle seems to be the most likely candidates to get fired. Vandy could open if Franklin could get a better job. It's a long shot but Richt could be gone if they somehow melted down. Everyone else seems safe barring a collapse or someone finding an upgrade in jobs.

Since Petrino broke no NCAA or SEC conference rules that I'm aware of I think Slive would have a very difficult time doing that.

Ain't no decent program hiring Nutt at this point because he's been ran off twice now. He'll have to go to the Sun Belt or lower if he wants another job. MU needs someone who can recruit like Strong but the will have to settle for something else.

I could see MIZZOU going for an SEC transitional staff if they show they can't win with the faggotry Big 12 offense they currently run.
Gene Chizik is hanging around. I think he might be right up their alley and lets face it, we miss our Chiz rag these days. Hire Chiz and give him some other experienced SEC assistants...get the band back together. This might happen way before they consider someone like Nutt or Petrino. Chizik coached in the Big 12 so he knows the ground...it's a natural option (also, I'm not allowed within like 50 yards of any school).
Mullen would have to totally shit the bed in order to lose his job this year...I think State is willing to wait on him.

MU facilities need a lot of work, but Missouri has a decent talent base in-state if they could actually keep them. Look at the top 10 recruits in Missouri this year and see how many are committed to MU? Not many. Hell, they were beating their chests over getting DBG or whatever like it was a huge accomplishment, when it was an in-state kid. It should have been news if they DIDN'T get him. If they could get someone to just keep the in-state in and then snag a few from surrounding, they could be decent. They do need to do something about that stadium, but I think it is in the plans.

I was always of the understanding that Mizzou has high academic standards kinda like Vandy...is this true?

MU is a decent state school but they are no way close to a Vandy or Rice. Washington University in St Louis is the best school in that state.

Ok, so basically they always suck because they are Mizzou. Who knew?

Missouri's standing both academically and athletically is overstated by sports journalists, primarily because most of them went to school there.
The right coach could use that fact to his advantage. You know those guys are just looking for an excuse to offer literary blowjobs to their alma mater.

No. Good enough school, but just a standard state school. Pumpkin and others got it right, the best school in Missouri is Wash U.

Missouri is a really shitty job. They have to compete against pro-teams for interest, they have border rivals that poach recruits, and it's not warm enough to be considered Southern. Their facilities are low-rent and their fans are a bunch of fa66orts who'd rather play the meatwhistle than actually root for Mizzou.
On the surface it looks like a school that has a lot in common with places like Arkansas or Nebraska, but history shows otherwise.

Mizzou had a great journalism school, but who the fuck cares now that true journalism is dead and the national enquirer has higher j-ethics than most "legit" news organs.
Otherwise, as a state they really have little reason to even have a college. Other than Branson, Bass Pro Shop, and a steamboat ride in Hannibal there is no industry. St Louis has a brewery to ease the pain of watching the place turn into East St Louis. There is nothing else.
Missoura is a product of its heritage of fence sitting. A slave state that wouldn't commit, a union state that Yankees never trusted. Midwesterners see it as southern, southerners see it as Midwest. Combine with that Show Me thing that just says I'm a douchebag. They can go fuck themselves.
