The Kansas Jayhawks dumped Charlie Weis after two miserable seasons, and now the carousel lights up in college football, earlier than normal.
Two weeks ago June Jones resigned at SMU, and Brady Hoke is in deep trouble at Michigan after the Wolverines lost three games in September for the first time in 135 years. A once-proud football school is in disarray in Ann Arbor. Fans started booing and chanting by the third quarter of Saturday’s 30-14 loss to Minnesota.
For the Ducks, it means Scott Frost is going to start appearing on short lists, and Matt Lubick could also be sought after as an offensive coordinator.
Frost wouldn’t leave until after the season even if someone lures him away, but Mark Helfrich and athletic director Rob Mullens have to have a five-minute conversation about the possibility that the young, telegenic Frost, with a great pedigree as a national championship winner as a player who studied under greats like Bill Walsh, Tom Osborne, Mike Holmgren, Bill Parcells and Chip Kelly as a player and coach will be a hot candidate on the coaching ladder.
Should that happen, Oregon’s best move would be locking down the talented, driven, detail-oriented Lubick as their next offensive coordinator.
