So.....who ya gonna get?

Dabo swinney

Why would he leave Clemson?

For an Alabama opening if Texas opens up their wallets even more.

This was his suggestion for a new hire. So, why would Dabo leave Clemson for Nebraska?

I was making the point that Dabo will not be coming to Nebraska. Period.

I'm really jumping on the Jim Tressel bandwagon if something were to ever happen.

 

[Cisco]

Tressel has a NCAA Show Cause for several years. No major program is going to touch him right now.

Here's what I think:

Offer Petersen $4 mil or even $5 mil to leave Boise State.

If he declines...

Offer Strong $4 mil or even $5 mil to leave Louisville.

If he declines...

Interview James Franklin, Scott Frost, (EDIT - add Al Golden, Troy Calhoun & Pat Fitzgerald) and maybe another 1-2 names. Then hire the best interview w/ the best resume.

 

[JTrain]

Head Coach: Scott Frost

Offensive Coordinator: Zac Taylor

Quarterbacks Coach: Joe Ganz

Running Backs Coach: Jammal Lord

Receivers Coach: Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch

Defensive Coordinator: Tommie Frazier

Interview James Franklin, Scott Frost and maybe another 2-3 names. Then hire the best interview w/ the best resume.

TO's tenure shows at least some food for thought about not replacing a head coach every 5 years.

Bobby Petrino (WKU)

Al Golden (Miami)

Larry Fedora (UNC)

Tim DeRutyer (Fresno State)

Pat Fitzgerald should be in there somewhere, and then you got a good list.

Bobby Petrino (WKU)

Al Golden (Miami)

Tim DeRutyer (Fresno State)

Golden is also an interesting name. Would have to think Eichorst would at least contact him.

 

[corncraze]

Pat Fitzgerald should be in there somewhere, and then you got a good list.

Problem with pursuing Fitzgerald is that he's already in the Big Ten and, to make matters even more difficult, at his alma-matter. We could really piss Delaney off with such a move. I think there are plenty of other solid coaches available besides Fitzgerald.

 

[corncraze]

Also, what about Troy Calhoun? I think he'd be a solid candidate.

Dabo swinney

Why would he leave Clemson?

He won't for anyone but Bama, and that's only because he's a Bama grad. Clemson gave him his chance to get back into coaching in 2003, and then his opportunity to be a head coach in 2008. He's built his dream home in Clemson, first kid just started high school, I just don't see him leaving as much as he's put into laying the foundation at Clemson.

 

[MLB 51]

I'm really jumping on the Jim Tressel bandwagon if something were to ever happen.

Would there still be sanctions involved with Tressel?

 

[HUSKER FREAK]

Jim Harbaugh

What....

C'mon you wouldn't want him?

Of course I would, but no way in hell is that realistic...

ok ok but we really need his type of passion and coaching. And the media would hate him too. Win Win!!

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

plenty of options for us. I am also in the group that feels we need a person with HC experience. I can see Frost making his way back here but not at this time. I want him to dominate as the OC and then hopefully take a mid major HC gig and show what he is made of. Whenever we have another HC vacancy regardless of where Frost is he would most likely come home.

Doug Doeren is on my short list
