I don’t know of many HBCUs that aren’t coaching dead ends honestly. How many actually get jobs outside of the HBCU circle? This does seem like a sad reality and lends credence to the question of why would Pep come here. He doesn’t have a job and moving into the HBCU cul-de-sac might seal his fate for good, I wasn’t thinking of it from that POV to be honest. Just how it could benefit us. The oddest thing is that us and Hampton are in arguably the best position to have coaches break that glass ceiling, if they can win. But they gotta win, especially in the playoffs.

Not the best position, but the best conference. Not nitpicking, definitely know what you mean.
The funniest thing is the swac guy is the one who got the power 5 job. Granted, he wasn’t really “swac” depending on who you axed 😂.

However, if you can’t generate the funds to maintain it, it doesn’t matter. All those times they hosted the SCG and went to the Celebration Bowl, their athletic budget is still less than $10 million. It’s difficult to maintain a decent foundation when your money is short.

Interesting post. Are you just posting to inform form members of how the coaching carousel is turning and burning OR are you implying that these are some good candidates?

Now, I will say just because a coach got fired doesn't necessarily mean he is a bad coach. We will need to make sure we have a good fit for what we need.

I find it interesting that no one is suggesting bringing Barnette back.

Some have said it , but gotta pay him out of the Wssu contract and then pay him again and probably more this time since we let him go. I don’t think I’d want to go back to a job that just let me go. And if they want me to comeback I’m going to need a hefty amount of money.

Brown would have kept him on staff last year if he wanted him (Barnette).
