Riley already in some hot water for recruiting players to USC on Oklahoma's dime.

I'm thinking Miami made a mistake.  A common mistake nearly every program makes - they got a 'Miami guy.'

Do these former players produce at a better rate?  Has anyone studied this?  I'll take a wild guess and say no....and I'd go further and guesstimate they do worse.
So this is an interesting question, because I think it probably overstates how coach's "produce."

Like, the majority of coaches fail. And if you focus on P5 (rather than G5 where people more commonly get hired away before they can fail), the vast majority fail. 

So for example, only one of the past six Florida coaches has not either won the SEC East, finished in the top 10 at least once. However, four of the six have been run out of town on a rail. Did four produce, or just two? And that's a program with no coaches who won fewer than 62 percent of their games since 1984, and the guy before that was also considered a success (looking back, Florida's run of highly competent football coaches runs a lot deeper than people say).

Sounds like former Pitt OC Whipple headed to Nebraska?

Hiring a new coach is a gamble, nearly always, as noted above.  Most fail.  Programs can get into hiring and firing so often they kneejerk fire and then can't find a good enough guy available.  Mullen was considered the 2nd or 3rd best SEC coach when the season started.  Is Huepel the "answer" at Tenn?  Maybe, but folks said nice things abotu Jones early on also.  Sam Pittman looks like a very good hire to me.  Brooks of course,

Oops, by the time I posted about Mickey Joseph yesterday, we'd already re-hired Frank Wilson for our New Orleans hookup.

This is a good move by Kelly--it should give us a higher caliber athlete from New Orleans for him to kill.

Kelly is a good hire for LSU.  Only coach I've seen turn purple for real.

Interesting how many "proven" coaches have bolted this year.  They usually are coordinators or G5 coaches getting promoted.

It's a nice hire for sure, and it may save Frost's job.  Now let's see if they hit the portal for a QB or roll with Smothers.

Nebraska next year might win most of those close games and end up top ten, somewhat like Indiana did last year, before the flop.
