re: Head Coaching Search

This is only from people talking, that know people inside and no true source. But Wilson and Satterfield are two that's been brought up the most, but as it pains me to hear or say, is Luke does have a good shot.

I don't like it one bit, and hoping he's being told this only to keep the players there or somewhat motivated.

No reason he should be the coach. Can't even coach a line. Just have a feeling, just inside, we will be stuck with him throughout this crap for a couple of years.

It's the mentality that they have that needs to be gone. Not gonna get us anywhere. Got to find a way to hit reset and start over completely.

Throw 4.5 million at him and he'll leave.

Yea that would be the hangup I think with him, but like the other guy said he may like the money. And yea we're looking for a coach. It may not be put out in the open much, but Luke is like a band aid. But if everyone doesn't pull together then the band aid may not get ripped off and the wound never fully heals.

Luke has no chance unless he goes 10+ wins or there is a 2-year bowl ban. Bjork is not a GOB cuck.

1-year bowl ban - I would suspect Frank Wilson is at or near the top of the list. He checks a lot of boxes. Don't think we'd need to pay him over $4M either.

^^^ Same here.

I just listened to the Talk of Champions from the other day when Ben Garrett interviewed Dan Wolken and Dan brought up a name seemingly out of left field: Mike Bloomgren (OC at Stanford).

That's a really interesting and surprising name. While I would like someone with current head coaching experience I wouldn't be opposed to Mike Bloomgren. He seems like a really smart guy who always has efficient, fundamentally sound, creative offenses.

He certainly has a better resume right now that Freeze did when we hired him.

I have to admit, I'm a little mystified as to how Freeze could have thought it OK to call a booster over 200 times on a school issued phone.

The man certainly hasn't perfected the art of subterfuge. Of course if they are/were golfing buddies, and we all know Freeze likes to play golf, then there may just be nothing here. At this point, the "other side" assumes the worst every single time and who can blame them honestly. If there's nothing that can be proven, it's just more bad press, not that that was needed.
