I’d go Dan Lanning. I bet he recruits like his hair is on fire, will have growing pains but could get experienced people to get over that hump
In general looks like we increased our behind the scene staffing exponentially so that would already be in place.

I know this thread is for throwing names out there, but some of the names I've seen thus far are ridiculous IMHO.

I’m pretty sure I’d rather have Dan Quinn over Lanning and that is saying a lot.

Jang, u r just being ridiculous. He’s a younger Kirby but has the Ducks playing decent and improving which is most important
Regardless it’ll be someone similar or Mich State’s coach IMO

That's a fortune to spend to get rid of Gus & get rid of Harsin, just to hire Great Value Gus.

Plus, it would cost us a cool $14 million to buy out Lanning's contract before 2/1/23. Hardly worth the risk.

Again, the idea of throwing 8 figures at largely unproven guys boggles my Barner mind.

The guy that just got blown out by Washington? And has the worst pass defense in the country?

I personally hope we get Hugh Freeze. He would turn our offense around and develop Qbs. And iirc, Ole Miss had one hell of a defense when he was there by their standards. Recruited well too

I don’t get why exactly people think Freeze is really that different than Malzahn?
He’s Malzahn plus some baggage IMO

He's pretty easily a better coach than Malzahn. He does obviously have baggage.
Big selling point on Freeze is that he's already done it in this division and he knows what it takes. As proven by Harsin, there are lots of coaches out there that are woefully oblivious or unprepared in that regard.

You realize he has only been a DC for a couple seasons at only one of his stops before getting the Oregon job. Before that, he was a position coach at a bunch of insignificant programs before Kirby got him to call his defense. With the talent he had on his defenses at UGA, I could have looked like a defensive genius from the booth.
Not to mention the cupboard wasn't exactly bare at Oregon when he got there. Say what you will about Cristobal's on-field coaching ability, but the guy can recruit with the best of them. Dan Landing is 100% an unknown commodity at this as a head coach.

Again, his offense is Gus light. And his "QB Development" is highly overvalued for a coach who doesn't have a history of recruiting and developing a QB from HS to pros
quote:

Their defense wasn't really as great as you might think it was. It helped that they put up tons of points against lesser opponents.
In 2015, their PPG allowed against SEC Opponents was 26.25, and that's the year they went to the Sugar Bowl.
The next year they went 5-7.

That changed when the NCAA came knocking and he couldn't buy players anymore.
Plus, frick this shite:
Well, Coach Freeze told me when you’re that big and out there with faith in Christ, he’s like, ‘What do you expect? Jesus got nailed to the cross.’

Based on what?
Career at Ole Miss:
7-6
8-5
9-4
10-3
5-7
I don’t really remember him out scheming us or anything in any of our games. He had the big Bama wins (but Gus did that also). I’m genuinely curious what differentiates them

I don't see how that's possible. Both coached in the same division and Gus won it twice while Freeze never did. And we know Gus went on to win the whole league once. Their winning pct while coaching in the SEC is similar (I believe Freeze was around .675 while Gus was around .610-I didn't look it up so correct me if I'm wrong there). Gus has the better head to head record. Freeze had to blatantly cheat his balls off to recruit a top 5 class that he didn't win shite with. Gus ran a relatively clean program.
I honestly see them as about the same with Gus having the edge earlier in their careers. Something broke in Gus he just hasn't gotten it back for whatever reason.

Hiring Freeze is asking to bring in more negative optics over an unproven coach that has yet to prove he can still recruit the way he did at Ole Miss with the rest of the world caught up to pay for play.

Nothing. He is the cheaper copy of Gus w/ some strange personality issues and NCAA baggage. If we hire him, we deserve the pain that is coming.
I'd rather roll the dice on an up & comer that bucktooth Gus.

This thread is multiple rounds of Freeze, Kiffin, and Prime being offered up and argued over

I've lost count of how many times I've talked about Freeze in this thread.

All I know is there would be zero negative optics in hiring Prime.

Don't worry, someone at AL.com will find them.
