re: Can we get a list of realistic HC candidates?

Okay. I'm just putting this out there in a sense of fairness.

I can't see my Tigers suffer through this. I'll volunteer to step up as head coach. I know next to nothing about football. But my uncle Sam taught me how to train teams and demand the best of young men in difficult situations and football is essentially armored cavalry tactics without deadly weapons.

I'll take the job for $150,000 plus a bonus of $100,000 for every win. I'll recruit coaching teams with an experienced position coach and a big fricking drill sergeant to train and motivate the players. No one will walk on or off my field with demonstrating solid tackling techniques. If we have to have extra training at halftime then by god we'll keep the field and have extra training at half time -- frick the band.

No one on my team will ever sit during the anthem or threaten to boycott a game. And when I am done the ROTC cadets will look like Arnold with all their pushing.

That's my offer. I don't know as much about football as I know about kicking arse and building teams to kick arse. But frankly, we need toughness more than finesse.
