HuskerShark Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If these rumors are true about Bo leaving for Tennessee, who would you want? Feel free to mention any that I may have missed. I honestly don't know who I would want, but I compiled a list of pretty good candidates. My top 5 in no particular order would be Petersen, Davis, Gundy, Malzahn, and Strong. I think I would be leaning toward 1) Petersen and 2) Davis Both have proved to be good head coaches. My only issue with Davis is his messy history at UNC with recruiting. I don't know specifics behind any of that, but it is a blemish on his resume. Obviously, Petersen would be a good hire. He knows how to win big games and be flexible in his schemes so that it fits the personnel on his team. What say you? Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I went with Franklin...I think he has done a great job at Vandy coaching and recruiting. give him our resources and he could do wonders. Link to comment
Landlord Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Whoever would come here and get the job done. Which is a very, very short list. 1 Link to comment

Haspula Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 A great recruiter..... no wait...... great at finding talent as well. 1. Chris Petersen 2. Gus Malzahn Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Peterson or Tressel- what sanctions does he bring? Maybe add another assistant like Frost to the mix...since we have become a place to cut your head coaching teeth. Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Seriously, Tressel, Malzahn, Davis and Petrino should all be scratched from that list. All four of them landed their respective universities in some hot water. Link to comment
Husker78'r Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 John Gruden, he is a winner and gets the best out of all his players. Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 John Gruden, he is a winner and gets the best out of all his players. And he has zero desire to coach college football. Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Monte Kiffin I think he headed back to NFL. Not sure he would make a good HC. Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I chose Petersen. Don't think he would come here though. Link to comment
clyde40 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Monte Kiffin I think he headed back to NFL. Not sure he would make a good HC. Sorry I wasn't being totally serious, I really can't think of anybody I would want that would actually come here. Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 None of the above...go ask harbaugh who we should hire. Link to comment
wags Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 if this does happen, and i personally dont want it to, i would think that you would have to look at the new a.d. and who has he worked with. the name that comes up for me is paul chryst the pitt head coach. i believe they have worked together at wisconsin and he would definitely know the big 10. former oc and oline coach.
