I was skeptical they would go after a big name. If this is true I hope they do it soon .

Don't think Tressel can be hired.


No Pat Fitzgerald or Jim Mora?

Gruden. That's the list.

That's a pretty awesome list.



Any idea why Arkansas 'insiders' claim to have info about Gruden going their too though? It's really annoying so I just write them off as being stupid pigs.

Good list overall. I would put Roman in the Big Time category, but that's because I think he will be a HC soon and will do very well whereever he goes.

We need a proven winner. IMO that would be an improvement compared to what we have.

 

[Panthro]

Curious where you'd put Cutcliffe, since he's the guy who will eventually be hired.

Tressel would not be a big time hire. I guess people just don't get it.

Cut would be on my good hire list.

added to where I feel about them.

Thats what I wanted, to see what your opinions and list would look like.

Cut would be on my good hire list.

If that happens to fall through please tell me the status quo is not plan B.

No one knows who they are going after and when they will

All signs point. There are MANY signs.

File under "Total Disaster"?

Our definitions of Disaster are very different. I'd file Retaining Dooley as that, but not hiring Cutcliffe. It's not a sexy hire, I'll give you that, but I believe our team would improve immediately.

Yeah I don't buy into the "if it's better than Dooley, it's good" argument. Cutcliffe would be better than retaining Dooley, but so would hundreds of coaches. Why can't we hire a coach with a winning record? Oh, I know, I know, "It's Duke, you just can't win there." Yeah, and I heard the same thing about La Tech when we hired the joker we've got now. I don't want another losing coach.

The thing is, if it weren't because he was here before, no one would be looking to hire him. Kentucky probably isn't even going to interview him for their job. But Tennessee should give him a much bigger job, just because he was once our OC? Really?

And does anyone expect him to outcoach Saban? Spurrier? Muschamp even? And what about recruiting? He's not really considered a big motivator or a smooth operator.

He's a detailed, thorough guy wth a losing record at a much smaller program. Who else fit that description?

#1Gruden #2Strong#3Peterson#4Patterson#5Gundy. I believe those are the only coaches that would come and fall under great hire.

Like the way you think. I'm all in. Just weary on the success factor of our administration to not screw it up.
