Weird. All the talking heads the last few days mention Sexton in the discussion of his last extension. But they're probably lazy and Google dependent.

What HC wouldnt want to coach against that schedule?

What benefit do these SEC coaches have to "challenge" themselves

Ryan Day may damn well get fired in the SEC. But he is considered elite.

Drink has the most punchable face in the world. Dude is so annoying. FSU would be a fool to hire him

lsu is too big of a job for him. But FSU hiring him would be solid.

Why? Missouri is a better program at this juncture than Florida State. Why leave Mizzou?

Indiana won a national title in football in 2025. Any team can win it with the right coach and investment.

He’s perfect for a job like Missouri. He will keep them in the top 25 or right on the edge of it. But he will probably never win a title. And mizzou fans are fine with that.

And he gets to make a lot of money doing it, making it cost prohibitive for anyone else to hire him.

Lower competition is a dream scenario for a coach that loses to every ranked team, usually by a lot. If he could get by only playing 1-2 ranked teams a year he's a homerun hire.

“I am not a candidate”

Means he is their only option and they made an offer. So not just a candidate

5 million buyout, just over 10 a year.


Closer to $11M a year.

Plus a $44M buyout if Mizzou cans him.

Plus 8 wins in the regular season automatically triggers a 1 year extension on his current contract.

Mizzou is also in a better financial position to invest in the program with SEC revenue share money compared to what FSU gets from the ACC revenue split.

FSU would have to offer him Kirby Smart / Lane Kiffin / Cignetti type of money and terms to get him to jump ship. I don't think FSU can afford him. They better focus their search on an up and comer G5 coach or a P4 coordinator
