[1985Vols]

Jimbo Fisher

[Vol737]

Keeping it real because Gruden and Stoops are off the table regardless:

1) Nick Saban
2) Nick Saban
3) Nick Saban

 

[Volfan76]

Nobody wants Saban?!

It would make me kinda sick to my stomach, but it may be worth it just to watch the fallout with bama fans.

 

[JMSqb11]

Chip Kelly, Dan Mullen, Tee Martin. If we decide to nickel and dime someone, I am all for hiring Les as he is a good coach and would be easy to get as his demand at big schools would be small. Definitely prefer him over some mid major coach.

Keep a sharp eye on Bronco Mendenhall

Why Bronco? I work at UVA and don't see him going anywhere anything soon.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Look, you are going to wind up with one of these guys, or someone along these lines I haven't thought of, so pick your poison.

Honestly, Chad is rumored to be holding out for TAMU and Frost for Nebraska... so you may not even get One of those.

3) Jeff Brohm - Quarterback Whisperer

I'll see your Brohm and raise you a Chip Kelly.

2009: 10-3, Rose Bowl, finished season #11
2010: 12-1, NC game, coach of the year, finished #3
2011: 12-2, Rose Bowl, finished #4
2012: 12-1, Fiesta Bowl, coach of the year, finished #2

2. Denzel Washington (from Remember the Titans) or is assistant
3. Whoever the coach from the program was.

James Caan was the coach in the Program.

 

[malinoisvol]

Chris Peterson
Josh McDaniels
Danny Pearman

 

[Backwards K]

Robert R. Neyland
Vince Lombardi
Bud Wilkinson

That list makes as much sense as the ones that include Bob Stoops, Chip Kelley, and Peterson from UW.

Realistically, you are looking at a pool that would include Jeff Brohm, Venables, and Mike MacIntyre. That's about the level that UT would go after and any of those would be better than what we have had since Fulmer.

 

[fade route]

Mullen
Petrino
Miles

 

[Rudy123]

1. Bill Belichik
2. Bill Cowher
3. Jimmy Johnson

Bill A Cheat

Mike Tomlin

Bill Parcells

 

[willinhf]

Dream hire top 3:

Saban
Swinney
Stoops

Slightly more realistic top 3:

Gruden
Kelly
Patterson

I'll see your Brohm and raise you a Chip Kelly.

2009: 10-3, Rose Bowl, finished season #11
2010: 12-1, NC game, coach of the year, finished #3
2011: 12-2, Rose Bowl, finished #4
2012: 12-1, Fiesta Bowl, coach of the year, finished #2

Two great options... all the more reason to make a change ASAP.

The longer this thing is drawn out, the more I think Brohm is the guy. If it were Kelly, we'd have nothing to lose and much to gain by making the change NOW.

If it's Brohm, you have to let him finish the season or you run the risk of a leak getting to his players (ala Houston last year) and the players quitting on him mid-season (ala Houston last year). If Brohm's the guy, we need WKU to finish strong.... the hire would make a bigger splash that way; generating much needed momentum.

Kelly



Peterson
Patterson

 

[TNinSC]

1. Gary Patterson
2. Chip Kelly
3. Willie Fritz

 

[DaddyChad]

Elite coaches but somewhat pipedreams unless Tennessee doesn't do a usual Tennessee.
1)Patterson- elite coach. No baggage. Older and unlikely to leave TCU unless money is astronomical.
2)Peterson- quite possibly the best talent evaluator and developer in college football. Unlikely to leave west coast for various reasons supposedly. Again astronomical money would have to be thrown at him for him to consider.
3)Kelly- his resume speaks for itself. Probably the best fit of the three yet one has to wonder if his NCAA issues might prevent our cowardly administration from hiring him.
4)Petrino- top notch offensive mind and he's actually coached and recruited in the conference. He does have his fair share of dirty laundry and is without a doubt the sleaziest of candidates in reputation.
