Won't matter. Pittman isn't getting fired this season.

I’ll take Briles back. We need an offensive-minded head coach.
Fritz is too old.
Leipold is one of the best coaches in football but he’s in his 60s as well.
Elko is a damn good coach. He’s one to jump on before he winds up in College Station.
Absolutely no to Lunney or Gus.

No.

No. Will leave when he gets offered the Texas/A&M dream jobs.

Mike Elko?
I like this.

Lance Leipold?
I don’t think he will be great, need to see him do it back to back years.
quote:
Kendall Briles?
The fan base will disintegrate.

The real question is this — are there any coaches from programs on the outside looking in of conference realignment who might take our job to get into the Big 2?
Might be a few Big 12 or ACC coaches getting antsy about what’s looming on the horizon.

Coach prime!!

I’d try to get whittingham from Utah or klieman from Kansas state. Both guys that know how to win without 5 star talent.

We need someone who is young and innovative that knows how to use free agency.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but when I see current head coaches in the Big 12 or ACC mentioned as possibilities--I'm truly puzzled. I don't like dwelling on so many negatives, but I think many of you are unrealistic right now about our place in college football.
Why would a head coach in either of those conferences want to come to one of the worst programs in the meat grinder that is the SEC? This isn't being negative, but that's what we have been for the most part since Petrino got fired. We may be the worst just above Vandy. Say what you will about Mizzou, but they have beaten us way more than we've beaten them and they just knocked off a ranked team yesterday.
What would be the incentive for them to make that move other than money and conference status? They have it easier where they are. Our big-money donors either can't or aren't willing to spend the money to get the best players in here.
Seems to me that our best, most realistic options would either be a HC from a really good mid-major i.e. Chadwell or a great coordinator/assistant from a successful program who's also a great recruiter.

We should at least interview Marcus Woodson. Great recruiter and improved FSU's pass defense drastically.

The real question is whether HY has started determining who is a realistic coaching candidate. I'm not optimistic there.
Posted on 9/17/23 at 6:58 pm to Jack Ruby
Because of the unique challenges of the job we’d have to overpay to get a coach with options. HY isn’t going to do that. That leaves unproven coaches or guys with baggage.

Kliff Kingsbury, frick it. It would at least be hype and we'd score points

Will stein anyone?

Need to look for the CURRENT YEAR, 2004 version of Petrino. Offensive genius whose schemes will work for 10 years or so before it gets figured out. A CEO-style coach is not going to make it happen here. The demographics of the state are not friendly for recruiting top talent, so needs to be a guru.

Curt Cignetti would be an interesting option. Older but has a great resume.

Missouri fans are praying we will take Drink off their hands
He is probably the only guy that if we hire I will drop season tickets. Do not want
