NEW: 10 questions that will define the 2026 College Football coaching carousel, via @PeteNakos👀
1. Does USC move on from Lincoln Riley?
6. Who are the top names that could move?
View:
NEW: USC head coach Lincoln Riley on feeling urgency and being mentioned for other jobs:
"If I didn’t want to be at this place, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place. I’ve had plenty of opportunities to leave. This is where I want to be. This is the right place for me. I’m the right person to be here."
(via @On3USC)
WATCH: Oregon State QB Braden Atkinson to @AndyAriOn3 on the Beavers’ offense getting a defensive coordinator fired mid-game:
"That's going to be a story we look back on and laugh about. You see what our offense can do and the playmakers we have."
NEW: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney on the idea of getting “poached” in the coaching carousel:
“I’ve said it before, this is the greatest place in the world to play football and it’s the greatest place in the world to coach football.”
(via @BruinReport)
NEW: Brian Kelly says the Maryland, Baylor and NC State openings are all “unique” when asked about the best job:
"We’re talking about ACC, Big 12, and the Big Ten. From a conference standpoint, the Big Ten obviously has proved itself to have that kind of appeal, right? With Maryland, it is a fertile recruiting area. There’s no doubt that that DMV area is a really good recruiting area. I think they’ve done great things in terms of upgrading facilities."

RT @georgewrighster: "I was against the 24-team CFP, but it will change recruiting and the transfer portal more than anything ever. Parity will be next level"
NEW: Florida State's Mike Norvell says some calls are "life-changers" after speaking with ACC Supervisor of Football Officials Gary Patterson:
"Sometimes there's just misses, and he can teach his officials on things they see or what they think they see. Those calls can be game-changers, they can be life-changers."

NEW: North Carolina's Bill Belichick says double-teaming Miami star Malachi Toney "doesn't stop him":
"You would think it would, but not really. He’s made several big plays off double coverage because he knows how to beat double coverage. At his age, that’s pretty impressive. I don’t see any weak points in his game."
