I could see him at UNT or Texas State or even SFA but I also wonder whether he will look for a place both he and Chandler and his family can be happy. Wherever he ends up, he's going to be making P5 HC money for the next 3 years so his firing is hardly a tragedy.
Charleston always enjoy your insight, but I think Chad will prefer and be offered an offensive coordinator or at least an offensive position coaching job at a P5 school. I bet some coach will look at his Clemson work and take a chance with a relatively short term contract and watch how he does coaching and recruiting. I would assume Chad is well connected in the college ranks. Not sure what that means as far as his $10 million from Ark....but I think he might want to reclaim his image as an assistant coach at a bigger school vs being a Texas HS or SFA head coach....I guess we'll see.
Pure speculation on my part as I don't know the guy or his family, but Chandler was going to follow Dad to Arkansas, right? I would not be surprised to see Chad end up somewhere Chandler would have a chance to play and get a decent education...and we know Chad loves Texas and has East Texas roots. That's why I could see him drop down to FCS Southland level or at least back down to CUSA or SunBelt. Should be interesting and might keep this thread alive until we find out where he/they are headed.
NorthTexas is terrible this year after Harrell left. Wonder if it’s partly due to the new OC? Though if Chad didn’t want to be the HC at SMU, with his son the QB at HP, I can’t imagine he would move to Denton to be OC at a CUSA school..
