Maybe if he gets the 3rd tier of TCF built, Minnesota would be a more attractive job.
I think he sticks around at least for next year. The buy-out is a hurdle (that won't stop anyone that REALLY wants him) that is significantly lower after next year. Also, I know it seems a bit funny to say but there aren't a ton of jobs out there better than minny.
ACC
Clemson - Dabo ain't going anywhere
Virginia Tech - I think they will give Justin Fuente more time as he hasn't been bad and Frank Beamer was there for 18 years
Florida State - Just hired Mike Norvell
Miami - I could see the timing of this lining up, not sure how likely though
Big 12
Baylor - there is a lot of interest in Matt Rhule so there could be an opening. I'd put this on par maybe slightly better than the minny job
Oklahoma State - Mike Gundy has been there awhile, so maybe?
TCU - same as OSU with Gary Patterson
Texas - Tom Herman isn't going anywhere for awhile
Oklahoma - I don't think they'd go for PJ if Lincoln Riley goes to the NFL
Pac 12
Oregon - nope
Washington - nope
Stanford - something would have to go upside down in a hurry to get rid of David Shaw
USC - I don't think Clay Helton is the issue, but I guess that doesn't always matter. Outside possibility?
UCLA - possibility
SEC
Tennessee - Possibly
Georgia - Kirby Smart isn't going anywhere
LSU - Nope
Auburn - Auburn does some really funny things so while it is highly unlikely, you never know?
Florida - Dan Mullen has been pretty good, don't see timelines lining up
Texas A&M - PJ ain't taking over for Jimbo
Arkansas - Just hired Sam Pittman
Ole Miss - Lane Mania baby!
South Carolina - Not sure if PJ would be interested or not but possibly?
Big Ten
Michigan - I see this as THE step up
Ohio State - Nope
Nebraska - If Frost doesn't improve next season I could see this, but would they want to pay another coach who isn't coaching for them
Penn State - Franklin seems safe
Michigan State - Does Dantoni continue to slip? Does MSU want to buy him out?
Wisconsin - Nope
Iowa - probably a lateral move
Notre Dame - The other real step up I could see, not sure if they would embrace his coaching style though
Re: Gophers 2019 Season thread...
PJ is gone as soon as a Bigger Program offers. He pressured gophers into paying him extra (he was 9-0 but only 2-2 vs ranked teams)
PJ has a plan, and he needed a lucky year like this to fulfill that plan, now he will use it.
Re: Gophers 2019 Season thread...
Gophers end up #10 in the final ranking. Hard to believe after how much they struggled with SDSU, but they just kept improving. Future is looking better than at any previous point in my lifetime.
Re: Gophers 2019 Season thread...
My opinion is that Minnesota had the best bowl win (not including CFP) of the bowl season. They represented the B1G very well.

I wonder who gets the licensing money from that?
