The Bowl season often sees coaches moving, whether they be head coaches or coordinators. Some players will choose to sit out the Bowl game, as McCaffrey and Fournette did last year.

In this thread please feel free to post any information that you feel is relevant, things that could possibly change the perception of that team.

Here are some of the coaching changes, feel free to comment or add any I missed.

Arizona St: Todd Graham fired, will coach Bowl game. Any thoughts on how the players will respond??
UCF: Scott Frost. All reports are that the players are good with his move and no negative effects.
Florida St: Jimbo Fisher left
Mississippi St: Dan Mullen left
Oregon: Willie Taggart left, Cristobal named new head coach, a guy that the players support.
SMU: Chad Morris left
Texas A&M: Kevin Sumlin fired

Penn ST OC Joe Moorehead takes over at Miss ST and will miss the Penn St Bowl game. How will this affect the PSU Offense??

I can tell you that the players love Todd Graham and will play their asses off to send him out with a win

Coaching matters.

Both Oregon and SMU had their HC leave before the game, both were hammered by many on this forum, both look like shit.

Missouri U offensive coordinator left to become the HC at UCF. Then unbeknownst to the Missouri HC, the took the offensive line coach, too, who was a key contributor, and so Missouri is going to have trouble with play calling. Missouri HC Odom is a defensive guy and there are no good options to do the play calling vs. Texas. We all saw what the SMU offense looked like last night. This is to be considered, Missouri has an NFL QB, Lock, and their offense really gelled the 2nd half of the season though against lesser SEC foes like VD, FLA, Tenn, and Arky.
Something to consider I am not suggesting this is another SMU, but it is a factor.
Texas is missing 3 NFL draftees who are sitting out for the draft but I lean to Texas + 3 at this point.
GL!

WVU RB Crawford is not playing...prepping for the combine instead. Don’t think it really matters as the other two backs are just as good....and likely to lose anyway without Grier

Derwin James is sitting out for FSU. As an FSU fan, I can tell you the players love interim coach Odell Hagins and would love to give him a bowl win. That being said, I am not sure how excited the kids are to play in the Independence Bowl with the pre season expectations.
