Coaching in the NFL is hard. Much harder than being a HC in today's collegiate landscape with a huge NIL advantage.


Fine, you convinced me. I hope Arkansas hires him

Brohm gets the nod from me


I'll let the board know they can shut the search down then.

if you do not think gruden has a real good offensive mind you are football ignorant. does not mean he would pan out as that all depends on mant factors. many coaches can fail in the not for long NFL yet succeed in college


I never said he wasn't a good offensive mind. I think he is a great offensive mind. I just don't think he is a good head coach.

He coached 15 seasons in the NFL: Only 6 of them were winning seasons. the other 9 he finished with a .500 record or worse
quote:

he's done nothing? nothing at all?



He won a SB in his 1st year in Tampa, with Tony Dungy's team, and then got progressively worse until he was canned by the team he won a SB with. His 2nd stint in the NFL with the Raiders he never won over 8 games in a season. His overall coaching record is 117-112 (51.1% wins).

Jeff Fisher has a better overall winning percentage (173-165, 51.2%) than Gruden yet people act like Gruden is great but wouldn't touch Fisher.
His overall coaching record is 117-112 (51.1% wins)

For comparison Jeff Fisher has a better overall winning percentage (173-165, 51.2%) and literally nobody wants him coaching their team.

Clear Eyes.
Full Hearts.
Cant' Lose.
He is basically the opposite of Burrow.

Burrow kept Ed employed longer than he should have been and is currently keeping Zac Taylor employed longer than he should be
He has never coached in college and has a career record of 117-112; winning a whopping 51% of his games.

which DC search? there have been so many..


Ed's 2nd DC search, after the Pelini return went so swimmingly

Mike Denbrock took a lateral job and left us


And played for a national title the year he left, while we were struggling for 9 wins.
OP really out here asking a bunch of baws from Louisiana to do math for him :lol:

Go Jeff Go. Tell it like it is.


We know. You're both fricking retards
Landry isnt smart enough to know that
Nick Saban was 43-26-1 when he left Michigan St for LSU
Les Miles was 28-21 when he left Oklahoma St for LSU
Ed Orgeron was 16-27 when he got the LSU job

They all won the SEC and National Championship in 3 years.


Brian Kelly was 263-96-2 when he left Notre Dame for LSU

He was fired in 3.5 years; never winning the SEC or a National Title.



Sometimes unknowns with something to prove are better than established canidates

Look at U of Alabama what happened after Saban. The school blew up.



:wha:

Since Saban left Alabama they are 16-5, and ranked #4 in the nation. The frick are you talking about
quote:

You forgot:

Dan Lanning
Marcus Freeman
Mike Elko




It’s always such a convenient excuse for the Woodward apologists to use his short list to justify Kelly.


I didn't forget them. All 3 were coordinators getting their 1st Head Coaching Jobs (one was an internal promotion, not an outright hire). If you think LSU fans were going to be cool giving a coordinator their HC first gig, you're dreaming. Yes they have all worked out well (Elko did jump schools though), but they were never in conisderation at LSU
Couple of reasons I would say

Obviously, he gets credit for the Johnson and Mulkey hires. National Championships, even in non revenue sports, are good for the brand.

Then you have to remember the coaches hired in the 2022 Cycle:

Lincoln Riley - USC
Brian Kelly - LSU
Billy Naiper - Florida
Brett Venables - Oklahoma
Sonny Dykes - TCU

Scott made arguably the best hire of the cycle, it just didn't work out here. But Brian Kelly had a better resume than all of those guys listed and people were shocked that he was able to get the ND head coach to leave for another college program (something that had literally never been done before).

He is not a bad AD, but he definitely needs someone to reign in his propensity to overspend
