- USC’s Lincoln Riley is being mentioned in reports, but betting markets place him at +2000 and he is under a 10-year, $110 million contract signed in 2022.
- BetOnline lists Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer as the favorite at +200, though reports indicate his interest is uncertain and may hinge on Alabama’s College Football Playoff run.
- Fresh analysis criticizes the “force them to say no” approach, arguing many headline names are unlikely to leave stable, well-funded situations.
- Commentary points to the late timing of Michigan’s vacancy and a cycle with 12 other jobs already filled, with more attainable options floated such as Jedd Fisch, Jesse Minter, Bryant Hines, Glenn Schumann, Manny Diaz, Tommy Rees, and Joe Brady.
