I think it’s best to look at this story as the coaching equivalent of a baseball player going to AAA on a rehab assignment, especially when you remember where Arkansas State’s last two head coaches are now.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
Arkansas State has a nice little business model going on, hiring upwardly mobile coaches and collecting buyouts every year. It’s like an extra body bag game without having to go somewhere and lose.

He can leave notes for his players in their lockers when he takes his next gig. Good practice to get back into the swing of things. I wonder if there will be a clause in his contract about whether or not he can own a Harley.

The market seems to have worked in this instance.
I don’t have a doubt that he’ll be back at major school at some point, but given how the UT and AU searches went and he still didn’t get hired, that kinda says something.
Sure, the report came out that BP had some other skeletons lying around, but this round of job searches allowed that rumor to float and he’ll be good to go this time next year.
