Silly Season Pool - EigenEagle - 07-30-2018 10:59 AM
So here's how this idea goes: You pick 4 FBS head coaches before the season starts and earn points based on what happens to them. The scoring goes like this:
If a coach you picked is fired or resigns after his team's last game of the regular season, you get 1 point.
If a coach you picked is fired or resigns in November before his team's last game of the regular season you get 2 points.
If a coach you picked is fired or resigns in October, you get 3 points.
If a coach you picked is fired or resigns in September, you get 4 points.
If a coach leaves to take a (presumably higher-paying) FBS head coaching job, it's 6 points (harder to predict who gets "promoted" than who gets fired).
If a coach's firing appears to be caused in part or entirely by off-field issues (NCAA rule violations, criminal problems, sex scandals, whatever) then it is worth 8 points. These issues have to be confirmed by reputable media and not rumors.
After you pick 4, then you pick a fifth coach, a "lock". The scoring for this coach will be double the point values listed above.
Some equivocal or unusual cases might arise in the case of coaches taking higher-paying jobs and off-field issues and that will just have to be judged as objectively as possible.
So what do you guys think? Here's my list:
1. David Beaty (Kansas)
2. Brad Lambert (UNCC)
3. Everett Withers (Texas State)
4. Kliff Kingsbury (Texas Tech)
Lock: Scottie Montgomery (ECU)

Might as well make this the coaching transitions thread...
Mike Jenks of Bowling Green is the first coach to get the boot.

If that's true, that's still not half as silly as hiring a guy because he interviewed well and gushed for 30 minutes how much he loved the program (if that's in fact what happened with Tyson Summers).

1. Scott Satterfield (App)
2. Phillip Montgomery (Tulsa)
3. Matt Campbell (Iowa State)
4. Seth Littrell (North Texas)
5. Mike Sanford (Western Kentucky)
Lock: Larry Fedora (North Carolina)
Campbell and Littrell are probably two of the hotter names out there right now, as well as Satterfield. I'm taking a chance on Montgomery, but if Tulsa produces another 2 win season, one will have to wonder. I highly doubt WKU actually fires Sanford, but he took a team that won 10 games two years ago and has them staring at a 1-11 type season.
I've seen coaches get fired for less.
I think there's a chance Auburn might fire Malzahn, but his SEC Title game run last year and flirtations with Arkansas got him a gigantic raise and extension this summer, leaving his buyout at a cool 32 million. Sadly Blake Anderson is not on this list, because fans can't fire coaches.
