re: The next Missouri HC will be.

In 1991 as an assistant at Miami, (wikipedia) “a "permanent injunction of protection" was granted to a woman by a Dade County court against Orgeron prohibiting "any act of domestic violence." Orgeron was ordered into a 26-week domestic violence counseling program.”

In 1992, still an assistant at Miami, he was arrested in a bar fight in Baton Rouge. You know something is wrong when you’ve done five years at Miami, then get back into coaching after a year hiatus at Nichols State.

At Southern Cal earlier this decade, Orgeron was THE recruiting coordinator while Reggie Bush made off with that $100K.

At Ole Miss, Orgeron’s very first meeting with the team, he referenced his own new players as MF’s. In the heat of the moment, that’s not even acceptable. Would it be okay for a history professor to tell his class, first day, “All you MF’s are going to learn a lot in this history class”?

After Hurricane Katrina, with Tulane’s program in shambles (before they were able to share facilities with Louisiana Tech, and thus keep playing the season), Orgeron called Greg Davis’ son, and Tulane assistant, and tried to begin poaching players for Ole Miss from the Tulane program. Davis turned him in. Nothing ever came of it after Orgeron pretended he didn’t know it was a violation.

Highly ticked Tulane head coach Chris Scelfo said of Orgeron, "there's people in our business who do not belong in our business". Scelfo was correct.

At Tennessee all the sudden - Orgeron having only been there a year - six “minor” NCAA violations for the Vols.

Finally, after leaving Tennessee, Orgeron called early recruits at Tennessee, trying to recruit them to USC…after they were already technically enrolled at Tennessee. Had he forgotten the rules he had already learned after his own Tulane scandal?

And if Fuente stays (he's not), Odom has two other SEC DC offers.

Pretty sure I heard on the radio that all of the assistants under their own contracts.

If so, lateral moves are not allowed. Correct?

1. The reason some fans like Odom is because he might retain Kul, Ivey, etc. But I agree with you SurgV.

2. Here's an excellent analysis by D. Morrison of CoMO Trib - The Profile of an SEC Head Coaching Hire. He looks at the 18 hires SEC teams have made since 2007. I recommend it to AD Rhoades.

pretty compelling argument against him JQ.

Actually very few DCs do well if their first HC job is a power 5 job. Bob Stoops is the last I can remember and that was 16 years ago he was hired.

But several do well when they start in smaller conferences. Like Dantonio starting at Cincy.

Damn. I read it in the Chinese version. Said I had to fix Chou Mein 3 x week for he players.

I didn't hit "submit."

Now is Jagd's time!!

You should post this to the Rant addressed to him.

After reading that I can conclude:

The more experience the better (I'm surprised)

The more HC experience the better (I'm surprised)

The more P5 experience the better (I'm surprised)

Hot coaches from non P5 teams frequently flame out in the SEC.

The best place to hire a HC from is Toledo

That was a bit tongue in cheek. But it's hard to argue with Pinkel and Saban
