In light of some of the coaching threads getting thrown around - Paul Johnson and Terry Bowden gave me a laugh - along with Butch Jones taking the Arkansas State job, I thought we could consider a few plausible yet very solid replacements. The three I’ve keyed in on are 1) Doc Holliday, bit of a reach and would likely be a hard sell to get to leave his home state, but could be looking at a significant pay increase here from his current $755,000; 2) Lance Leipold (s/o @Drew ), who has put together 3 consecutive competitive seasons at Buffalo and, again, would have an opportunity to cash in in a major way since he’s only at $465,000 annual right now; 3) Mike Denbrock from Cincy (OC). 56 and has never had a head coaching opp before but has had a positive impact everywhere he’s been, particularly with developing O-lines and tight ends. Again, not to be overlooked that he could be looking at a pay bump with us.
I’m all in for the longer shot hires like the Malzahns and Freezes of the world, however I wanted to narrow down coaches who could and likely would be open to this job should it become available, hopefully sooner rather than later. All three have put together or contributed to competitive, functional programs and I’m confident they’d do the same here. Wanted to make a separate thread from the others to focus on the above individuals but open to similar suggestions of course as well.
