If we start waiting on ANY dominoes to fall, then we're fricked.

You are acting like we’ve just got all the best and easiest to recruit to.
We are still 10-12 in the conference on being able to attract people. Iowa State is above or equal to that in their conference, and he still isn’t winning it. Quit complicating this. Get Mullen a known winner, who hated recruiting, with a GM he doesn’t need to recruit. Or Bob Chesney, who would have the Penn State job had he one year at a previous p4 job. I’d say Sumrall but he is going to Auburn unless they frick it up.

If there isn’t an announcement by Sunday at the latest, Hunter should be fired for cause.

Based on what I'm hearing from here and everywhere else I get info and hardly any of it is highly connected I think this is our likely Pool:
1. Eric Morris
2. Matt Campbell
3. Dabo
4. Traylor
5. Silverfield
6. Wommack
I think Silverfield is the backup backup backup plan at this point and would come in a heartbeat but we will exaust other options first.
Kind of feels like Morris is gaining traction but Dabo and Campbell could be the quiet Cal type surprise.
Still may be a wild card out there somewhere and some of the Goons on the other board believe Gruden is still a real thing but I think our coach comes from this list.
Kingsbury and McDaniel just don't make much sense to me

And your answer is to hire a guy who notoriously hates recruiting so don’t even come with the reason you don’t want him is he won’t get talent. If he can’t get talent here Mullen damn sure won’t.

Eric Morris or Matt Campbell would both be phenomenal hires.

I have no insights whatsoever but whoever we hire, is he going to be set up to win unlike Pittman?

Totally Agree!
Wish we would go ahead and get it done.

Pittman was set up to win. Our NIL spend isn’t nearly as low as HY makes it out to be. We haven’t spent it wisely and those donating were holding back some because they didn’t want to see it pissed away.

Understandable. So depending on who we get those donors will hopefully step up?

Compared to Ames absolutely. How many 1 score games have we lost in the past 7-8 years? How have turnovers and penalties (lack of discipline) killed is in most every game?
We have a talent void on D but simply having some discipline, a defense with any pulse at all and we are in a totally different situation.
Hell even this disaster of a season we’d be bowl eligible without all the fumbles and 100+ yard penalties in a game.
Campbell, assuming he’s even the guy, isn’t my first choice but he’s definitely in my top 3-4 of realistic choices.

It is when you farm it out to a different company, instead of having lawyers and financial firm boosters do it for you.
Could probably have done it with just the athletes taking pictures with the boosters.

I know you guys are dense, and you heard a name and want to be an insider to a guy because baldy and the midget told you he is good. But we are about the same level in our conference as they are in theirs. He can’t win his conference, with little to no ranked opponents, but you think he can win here.
You keep lying and saying you would be ok with a random good season every 4 years with barely making a bowl the rest. You won’t. He isn’t talked about because his shine came off after Purdy left. Then in a get fired season he had a great season last year and fell back off. He is Pittman, Bert and Houston Nutt.

Our talent level is way, way, way above anything that he could possibly pull at Iowa State… like I don’t tbink you realize how bad their situation always has been. They have worse resources and facilities than some G5 programs. They are 2nd to last in the big 12 in recruiting budget.
Arizona State is also pretty far down there.. might be why you see guys like Campbell and Dilly on the move

Good grief. Are you ever not a completely insufferable and overly-emotional little bitch?

He’s had one bad season since his first season there. It’s ok you don’t understand the context of where he coaches but don’t act like you do. You want Dan Mullen, the most mediocre coach ever mind you.

I’m done here you guys don’t understand basic concepts: they are 10th in the Big12 we are 10-14th in the SEC year in and year out. He can’t fricking win here.

Several of us have been saying we should target Campbell since Bert. As have many other schools and a few NFL teams. He may be terrible at his next stop but a lot of folks have been impressed with what he’s been able to do at ISU.
Also whoever the next coach is won’t have much support for winning 7 games every year. 7 should be the floor, avg 8-9 with some playoff runs/NC mixed in. That’s not unrealistic. As much as NIL sucks it helps programs like us much more than it hurts…..assuming you can identify the right talent and coach them up.

The guy who almost made the playoffs at Florida, without recruiting? Or the guy who still has a possibility of making the playoffs at UNLV this year?
