WILLIAMS: What's next (potential candidates)

Many good position coaches and coordinators end up bad head coaches, despite football acumen and experience in P5 programs. Conversely, relatively unproven assistants are very good HCs. Imo a large part of this is due to the non-football skills required of being a good head coach being just as important. CEO/manger skills. PR demonstrated a lack of those from the start IMO. I lean towards a successful lower-level HC, particularly Moglia. If not him, his background fits what we should be looking for.

yes. But it also means that the candidates will have more choices. If Illinois offers 2 million and Iowa state offers 2.5 million, 75% of coaches would take the job they think leads to more wins. And that's Illinois.

go speak with Ron zook on your theory.
 
If the University of Missouri doesn't sign up native son Willie Fritz, then I certainly hope that we would (particularly if his OC comes as part of the package).
 
The national media seems to think we are unable to compete, and should go gimmicky. So I am hoping we do the opposite. I totally disagree, and lean towards the opposite. I think we need better game management, and better recruiting. We have a lot to offer even if columnists in OK don't think so.
 
I was sad after the press conference bu this article makes me hopeful we will get someone to be excited about.

Work your channels CW...we all know you are secretly steering the ship.

SIAP but why not Bo Pelini? I know he's not super popular but the man got results. Is it the whole "has to be a midwestern type of guy" aka "nice"?

Because you would literally have half the roster transfer probably. You don't go from a players coach who these players adore to a guy that would eat their pet cat. When I heard Pollard talk about Isu values I don't really foresee BP...but hey that's just me.

That's what I was referring too but i remember the players for Bo being outraged when he was fired... Just playing devil's advocate here as I have no personal knowledge of the situation. He does get points for embracing the cat memes. Name another D1 coach with that on his resume!
