There's a BIG difference between, say, Pruitt and someone like Chadwell. Pruitt had never been anything but an assistant. The young head coaches like Chadwell and Napier both have head coaching experience. And both have experience turning around bad teams and making them good. Yes, it's an experiment from the standpoint they aren't Power 5 coaches but they have head coaching experience and have proven on their level they can get the job done.

When we hired Precious (Dooley) he wasn't even a good head coach at Louisiana Tech. Jones would come in behind Brian Kelly's rebuilt teams and kind of ride his wave to the next job. I knew that Jones was a disaster the second we hired him. I have a good friend that lives in Cinci and I followed them for moral support. That program was going downhill fast with the little trumpet blower with the Napoleon complex on the sidelines. He was just smart enough to know when to try to flee one job and move to the next because even he knew he was full of crap.

But anyway - there will be a narrative pushed that we can't go for the "bargain bin" coaches. That's not true. Just DON'T go for a coach that hasn't been a head coach. Go for someone that has head coaching experience that shows they can make bad teams good and elevate the team with their coaching acumen. That's why Matt Campbell is my number one choice and it's not even close. Then I'd go Fickell, Chadwell, Freeze, Sitake, Napier, and Holliday as the fallback option. Every last one of them have turned bad teams around and have proven track records as head coaches.

would take Napier or Chadwell over TE.

Somebody posted in the flight tracker thread that the plane was scheduled to arrive at Georgetown SC airport. Maybe they're going to talk to him if that tracker link is accurate. Only about an hour from coastal carolina I think.

Ironically, it was when Jones fired someone from his old staff (S&C coach Dave Lawson) that we started playing like garbage. That first season after Lawson was fired, we looked soft and slow.

We needed an experience proven S&C coach last year. Our Line and Dlines were pushed all over the field last year. I realize it was a throw away year, but other teams had to play last year and faced the same problems we did with Covid. However, we would have won 5-6 games if we had and played a QB who did not gave games away with mistakes and turn overs. Maybe we would not be in the position we find ourselves if we had handled the QB position differently. However, I believe the recruiting violations would have still occurred because some people think it is easier to win by cheating rather than hard work.

I remember when an assistant coach called me one day and said he needed a $1,000 to get a prospect's girlfriend an abortion. I refused and he was fired at the end of the season because someone else got him the money. A couple of years later, I asked a coach if there was anything I could do to help in recruiting a local player. This was when fans could assist coaches in recruiting . He told me that if I ever did anything that caused him or the University to get in trouble with the NCAA, I had better have enough money to pay his salary for the next 10 years. We became friends and he always asked me to meet with him and prospects in the area until it was determined that we could not participate in the recruiting process. Point is, some people will cheat and some will not and those who cheat usually caught. These events happened before we won the Natty in 1998.

Looking back on the last 12-13 years it becomes obvious to me that there is 1 thing missing on each new hire.

Respect

Not one of these guys have been able to walk into the building and command respect just by his presence. A whole lot people want to try this guy and that guy but I haven’t seen any coach mentioned that brings instant respect.

Freeze, Chadwell, Napier and the like bring hope and we don’t need hope. Do they bring respect from fans, students, media, boosters?

Name the coach that brings, that commands instant respect from everyone and that’s our guy.

I just can’t believe the names being thrown out here... Chadwell had one hell of a season and shows a lot of promise. He’s a Tennessee boy too.

Take him over Elliott but I would throw money to get him over Dykes, Dykes is awful, can’t win at little schools, how’s he going to turn the program around

That including his vacated wins? Sorry, but improving East Jesus State doesn't impress me. He's not first on my list, I don't care that he grew up in East TN.

Disregard handing BYU their only loss of the season. We need transferable skills and experience. If you can maximize the talent for your team, that is what we need.

Just feel like you can't hand over a dumpster fire program to an unproven coordinator and expect him to be successful extinguishing the flames. Just like Chadwell, he needs to go to a smaller school and build his coaching resume.

For anyone wondering....the NCAA
stuff was this:
- Some players used book money on headphones
- They played a couple ineligible players in blowouts who were ineligible due to technicalities, CSU is a tiny school w a tiny compliance staff, but yes its their own fault, hire more staff
- They beat The Citadel (city rival) 4x in a row and someone got pissed and called the NCAA. Charleston is a small town

Coastal was in the Big South, knew the NCAA stuff was overblown and hired Chadwell (they also had been losing to CSU)

As someone who was an athlete at CSU the years right before Chadwell I will say what he did with CSU was nothing short of a miracle. And as an athlete that lived in that athletic department for 4 years I will say it was the largest clown show ever. All of the support staff that did the actual work were severely short staffed, not qualified, and some were flat out lazy. I would say the training staff was probably the highlight of the entire athletic department. Chadwell came in after I graduated but I would take him in a heart beat.

Please start a thread with these details! This needs attention. With you actually being there and seeing if first hand. What the man did there with very little has been amazing. Imagine what he could do with more talent and resources.

Unfortunately, people like White thinks he is above listening to the fans.

At this point I would take a risk with him
