Why it's Texas, they're going to go for a Saban type or even a Bill Cowher or John Gruden type. Now if they grab Saban, Alabama goes after Dantonio, etc.

I still think were in good shape.

So if Alabama grabs Dantonio (which considering his health I don't think they will), then MSU promotes Narduzzi.

I don't see the point in having the post pinned. Too much clutter at the top of the board is a problem on smaller screens. Three pinned posts are more than enough. I also unpinned my pinned post for the chat.

I'm thinking the boneyard pick em final standings won't cause too much of a ruckus if it get's unpinned. :cool:

It's only temporary though. This should/would get unpinned as soon as the coaching search is over - a process we anticipate to be complete by EOW....

All the more reason not to pin the post. As long as there are frequent replies, it will remain at the top naturally.

Yes, if people play by our informal rules and don't post a new thread every time someone tweets or farts something of relevance.

This is very true. We need to be worried about the domino effect. Here is a dooms day hypothetical.

Saban to Texas
Dantonio to Alabama
Narduzzi to Michigan State

Then UConn gets who?? Ambrose? Herman? Lembo?
 
My guess is that Texas will make a run at Saban and if he says no, they'll take a run at urban Meyer. Bama might do that, if Saban leaves. I'm skeptical that they'll go after Dantonio, but even if they do and he goes, I'm not convinced it hurts us that much. We don't get Narduzzi, who I really do think Warde covets, we'll end up with Lembo who I actually think is a better choice anyway.

If I'm UConn & I want Pat Narduzzi, I'd get that signed up right quickly. Don't want to get in a bidding war w Texas (likely DC candidate)

Though higher profile, do you see Narduzzi leaving MSU for Texas for the same position. I don't. If he goes anywhere it's to be HC.
 
Pat Narduzzi gives terrific speech, wins the Broyles Award

The defensive stats at MSU were incredibly, but Narduzzi wanted to talk about something else.
Narduzzi said, “You talk about a great defense. We’re No. 1 in the country in defense. All those stats are great, but it’s not about that. The thing I’ve learned under Mark Dantonio in the last ten years is not only the impact of what we do with our players on the field, but it’s the development of people.

"To me, the most impressive thing we’ve done at Michigan State is not win game or be the best defense in the country. It’s that we develop individuals. We’ve got an unbelievable group of kids, but Dantonio has been the leader of that group. We have impacted people, on the field and off the field. That has been the most impressive thing we’ve done as a football staff.
“The reason we are successful is that our kids love playing for us and we love coaching them. A Lee Tressel quote that Coach Dantonio always uses: “They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” To me, that has been the key to victory every week. They don’t care how much defense I know until they know how much we care about our kids. That’s been the key to what we do at Michigan State.”

This is insane. Either the guy wants to be a head coach or he is happy being a coordinator. If he's happy as a coordinator, then we are better off without him. Unless you think they'll name him head Coach, and I don't since they are Texas and will want a proven big name. What ever Narduzzi is he ain't a proven big name.

We're in much better shape than 2011. Narduzzi is my # 1 pick, but Lembo is right there at 1B. But I'd be OK with TJ too (though he's several rungs down).

A UT coordinator is higher profile job, and probably pays a lot more than Michigan state coordinator job. Coaches might view that the same way we hope they view UConn - be successful there for a few years and maybe you land a big time SEC type HC job.

Is this the next head coach at UConn? http://Post original url/1f4SFWj It's rare to have a chance to hire the top asst. coach in the country.

Regardless of who Texas hires, have to think Pat Narduzzi's phone rings as potential DC.
Expand ...
But again, I have to think if he's offered the UConn job he isn't turning it down to be a coordinator at Texas. You only get so many opportunitites to be the head coach. If you it down, you really don't know when or if another one will come along. Narduzzi goes to Texas as DC, and they have a couple of mediocre seasons adjusting to a new coach and a new system, upgrading recruiting which some say has fallen off a bit the last few years, and suddenly he isn't the hot coordinator any more. He's Bud Foster. the long time assistant and brilliant defensive mind who never got a head coaching shot.

I wouldn't hire that guy to coach my Tudor Electric football team.

Well, there goes our "by the end of the week" timetable.

Don't disagree... just posting what i see.
 
Narduzzi has gone as far as he can go as a DC, he would be wise to start his head coaching career now and UCONN is a perfect first job for him because he can win quickly.

That said, if Warde starts getting the vibe that Narduzzi isn't to keen on the UCONN job he would be wise not to chase, just go to plan B.
