He's Sanford with head coaching experience. A tweet: Western Ky. is 15-2 in its last 17 games. Only losses by 3 at IU and a blowout at LSU. Jeff Brohm headed up the ladder.
Wells tops my list for HC.. I don't want temples coach at all.. Brohm would be interesting.. I don't want Richt at all.. funny though to see people want Richt but not Mack..
If you hire the LC Bird head coach, I promise to never make fun of UVA on TMB while he is head coach.
JP's official updated boner rankings of coaching candidates: Excite me with strong boners: Troy Calhoun Mike Sanford Dan Mullen (if yknow we live in this fantasy dream land where this is an option) Mark Richt (ditto re: Mullen) Luke Bowanko Medium but fine boners that get the job done: Matt Rhule Jeff Brohm Sonny Dykes (not gonna happen) Little weak ass boners that I don't want to get: Mack Brown Al Golden Pep Hamilton Ken Niumatalolo Confusing boners I'm not sure about. Like when you watch tranny porn: Greg Schiano
J.O. reporting that, when Groh was fired, assistants were told they had 48 hours to clear out their offices. This time around - Assistants haven't heard anything. This is me throwing gasoline on the Sanford/Riley fire.
With Fuente to Tech official, our hiring has the potential to be more embarrassing than the past dozen years of football games against them combined. I'm just glad we're entering the other 11 months of the year where we teabag them in every aspect.
No.. I read what JO posted as the big board...its not close to what others have reported.. id just join a fb group and follow that way.. example.. he didn't have richt on his board until he was fired, others had richt as the #1 choice before he was fired..
As a fan that just went through this process, ignore all of it. Your friends will send you all of the relevant information and most stuff makes its way to Twitter through the major writers. Being a day behind on the coaching search just reduces your stress and keeps you from believing all the changes that occur each and every day.
Sounds like Richt is retiring. I'm sure he'll get the itch again and come back in two years once we've hired some schlub who has proven to be a dud.
My revised list: "Dreamworld" Mullen Dykes ------ "Safe and good" Richt Schiano (He and Richt only down here because I believe they are realistic possibilities. Both would probably be dreamworld). Calhoun Brohm ---- "Not safe but potentially great" Riley Sanford ------ "Probably not good" Brown Rhule (Just not sold on him. Last two guys out of Temple have been Addazio and Golden...) Golden ------ "Murder me then throw me off a bridge then run me over" Grobe Tom O'Brien Niumatolo
I would caution lumping Rhule in with Addazio. Addazio was basically a dope when he was a UF. The Gator fans hated his guts. I was completely shocked when he was hired by Temple.
My point with Rhule is that their previous two coaches have been successful there and hired away. Temple is no longer the moribund program it once was and the last two guys who were hired away were flops. I don't have a totally rational way of explaining why I feel the way I do about Rhule and I could be totally wrong about him. He just doesn't give me the boner I want.
