TheSker Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'm really jumping on the Jim Tressel bandwagon if something were to ever happen. Quote Link to comment
Cisco Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Tressel has a NCAA Show Cause for several years. No major program is going to touch him right now. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment

Offer Strong $4 mil or even $5 mil to leave Louisville. If he declines... 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. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Bobby Petrino (WKU) Al Golden (Miami) Larry Fedora (UNC) Tim DeRutyer (Fresno State) Quote Link to comment

Pat Fitzgerald should be in there somewhere, and then you got a good list. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Bobby Petrino (WKU) Al Golden (Miami) Larry Fedora (UNC) Tim DeRutyer (Fresno State) Golden is also an interesting name. Would have to think Eichorst would at least contact him. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Also, what about Troy Calhoun? I think he'd be a solid candidate. Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm really jumping on the Jim Tressel bandwagon if something were to ever happen. Would there still be sanctions involved with Tressel? Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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!! Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment
