How did I miss this literary genius? "It's a rock in the stream that will turn and drop you in the Water."
Moorhead has to be target #1. If not, we should be going after Cignetti or Entz. Both are proven winners and do more with less.
100%
Of course he was not making hat comparison. He was using an example of a situation where the right coach took a bad program and turned it around. You want some football examples…Schiano went to Rutgers and took over a program that hadn’t had a winning season in a generation. Justin Fuente took a Memphis program that had 4 winning seasons between 1995 and 2010. He won 10 and 9 games in his second and 3 rd seasons. They are now solid. Temple had 16 losing seasons in a row before Al Golden turned them around. So yeah, it can be done. And there are guys out there who will take the job and with luck we get somebody who will do it.
OK. So you're old. That doesn't give you the right to screw the pooch when it comes to football. Stick to hoops and stop with the bashing. If you're such a lifelong fan, you'd be supportive...or at least STFU.
I'd sign up for a very successful 3 year coach in a heartbeat.
Again F off. I’m not old I’m a fan. I had an opinion you didn’t like it you were an idiot about it with you childish sarcastic reply. You stfu or realize your opinion isn’t always right DB.
Good thing you aren't on the BOT for UConn ( or as an example Coastal Carolina). Rather than picking a retread, authoritarian failure like HCREDreamJob1.0 Coastal Carolina promoted a coach named Jamey Chadwell whose biggest head coaching job had been Charleston Southern. Coastal Carolina plays in the Sun Belt and has a stadium with 20,000 capacity. Team currently ranked #17. Coaching picks matter, who is doing the coaching picks matter. Your embarrassment doesn't matter.
Exactly. No coordinators. No FCS guys. Only proven FBS winners.
Could not agree more. Find a coach who has had success at multiple stops, I don’t care what level. There are several out there. And I am still high on Chesney.
I keep thinking of Crocker who was a wizard with his defense at Villanova but bombed big here! Thought he was a proven winner for our defense since he did amazing things with The Villanova defense!! But it was awful! So I would like an FBS coach that’s proven himself at a school or two. No FCS for me.. and god no on a D3 either.
you are old
I apologize for my snarky tone, but I believe it was the "turn around and go to D2" that set me off. Football isn't going away. We just have to get it right. The "just drop it" stuff doesn't help the program or the school.
I don't blame Crocker totally. It was a bad hire. He had the wrong personnel for his defense. But he did not adjust his defense to what he had and that is why it failed so miserably. It was literally a case of this is what we are doing regardless of personnel.
Are you on the board that chooses who we end up hiring? Seriously speaking (just wondering)
Kellen Moore already turned down the Boise job and said he wants to stay in the NFL. If he turned down the Boise job I can’t imagine him coming here.
that is my thinking too. The MAC had a bunch of good coaches a few years ago but most got snagged by other coaches. I don’t know if there is anyone who has established himself right now. Maybe Leopold, maybe the guy at Eastern Michigan who took a long term bad program and has made them into a respectable one.
