Who's your list for next HC?

This is from September 2020. The coach at Air Force has a nice ring.

Top 25 young college football coaches to watch (yahoo.com)

Interesting that UCONN's former coach Skip Holtz is on that list & only 56 years of age. Six consecutive bowl appearances as of that writing. Man, could that guy dream up offenses!

Yes, that kid who left UConn to go to Indiana could’ve helped also. My apologies, can’t remember his name. IIRC his father pulled him out of UConn early in the season.

Richard Lagrow. Went from UConn to OK State as a walkon. Then to Indiana where he started for 2 or 3 years. Tall.

 

[Yup!]

They’re on to something here.. hmm

Would love to bring in John in some capacity. He hasn't had a real coaching gig yet. QB coach?

Thanks, but I think he spelled it Lagow.

Went JC route after UCONN. Joe Williams was one of the best RBs in football. Also had a journey and excelled at Utah.

This is a list of the 25 highest paid MBB coaches in 2020, plus Hurley (I removed Wright and Cooley as their schools don't play FBS).

As you can see, only Georgia and Oklahoma paid more than 2x the MBB coach's salary. Most pay about 25% more.

Of the top 10 highest paid FB coaches, Alabama, LSU, Clemson, Michigan and Florida are not represented here (Texas A&M, Georgia, Auburn, Oklahoma and TCU are in the chart), so let's look at those five football powers:

Saban: $9.1 / Oats $3.225 = 282%
Orgeron: $8.688 / Wade: $2.5 = 347% (interestingly, Kim Mulkey will make at least $3 million this year)
Swinney: $8.258 / Brownell: $2.5 = 330%
Harbaugh: $8.054 = Howard: $2.2 = 366%
Mullen: $6.070 / White: $3 = 202%

So out of the top 25 football programs, once you add those five in to the chart, there are three schools that pay 3x what the hoops coach makes and a total of four schools that pay more than 2x.

So basically, all you're asking is that UConn behave like one of the top two teams in the SEC, ACC and B1G as far as dropping a top 10 salary for an FBS coach, and similar top-10-ish salaries for assistants. To coach in the Northeast in barren recruiting grounds for a school with nearly zero tradition and a fanbase that only supports winners and even then doesn't travel well to bowl games.

Simple and reasonable ask, lol.

Your argument and facts were wrong, and you're delusional.

This is the reply we needed

You and your facts...

Take away the success these teams have and what do they got?

Resources and fan support?

We're going about this all wrong. Jim Harbaugh is likely going to be fired this year after yet again losing to OSU. Let's bring him in. /s

Would be interesting what the narrative on harbaugh would be if Ohio based officials properly and his style spotted the ball and/or used replay correctly

This will start the biggest boneyard controversy yet...what beer will be the free beer. The beer snobs will be out in full force...lol.

 

[Stinger92860]

What’s his next step up? Can he move to OC or will that require an interim position?

 

[CL82]

Like a ten pounds, give or take.
