re: Coaching Search Thread

Literally the only good thing about hiring Gruden would be “winning the press conference.” Unless he did some major research and went into an interview like Muss did where he had a game plan for the entire roster then hell to the no. If we whiff on JF there are plenty of good options in play instead of a dude with 2 winning records in 20 years.

I think winning games will bring more NIL than the initial press conference. Honestly just not sure Gruden still has it. Stale offense.

Franklin wouldn't be my favorite guy but really solid. If JT gets him and they line up the NIL he's asking for, could be a really great hire.

This is a different landscape from the Pittman hire. It’s eat or be eaten. Now more than ever. And that fallout plays bigger into more than just football. We can no longer afford to settle like we did before. Also, Pittman did what he was hired to do. He elevated the job. He got us back to a respectable level. Now it’s up to the donors to take the next step.

Look what OM has done since the Kiffin hire… NC in baseball, Chris Beard… Football breathes money into everything. And the boosters see that. A little John Tyson money injected into the football program will lead to more money in the basketball program. We may see another NC there when it’s all said and done if the the whole state is on board with NIL.

This is the theory and this is what I’m hearing.

It goes back longer than that.

Fire Holtz to hire Hatfield over Jimmie.
Run Hatfield off to pull his OC Crowe off the plane.
Fire Crowe to bring in Danny Ford as a consultant. Ford is given the HC job, first action fire Houston Nutt.
Fire Ford to hire Houston Nutt over Tuberville.
Refuse to fire or run off Nutt for actions and record that led to the previous three being shown the door.
Have Jim Grobe accept the job, then change his mind, hire Petrino.
Fire Petrino and spend almost year to hire, Bert.
Fire Bert, chase after Franklin and Gus only to hire Chaggy.
Fire Chaggy chase after Franklin and Gus to hire Pittman.
Fire Pittman to chase after Franklin and....

I’m hearing Gruden is very much in play. No shite

Asinine. I haven’t heard him on any of the short lists from other “insiders.”

List appears to be:

Franklin




Fleck
Kingsbury
Will Stein


Golesh



So it will probably be none of those

Franklin is off the board guys.

Okay. I’m sure you have great sources.

If it was gruden why don’t they announce it sooner rather than later? Then again, no one else would hire him and we could probably get him for a discount so that tracks.

Gruden would bring in a TON of NIL money from real donors from what I’m hearing.

That’s because they are legit retards, who only buy brand names. A fool and his money are soon to part. This is just Jerry Jones bullshite, I was good at football and played back when it was only the right people, so now I definitely know what I’m talking about. No. The game has past most these people by, stick to what you were good at making money in. Back the program and threaten to remove the money when they suck and won’t make changes.
