Your Coaching Shortlist

[FlashGordon]

Why does anyone want Mike Stoops? He has bombed at Arizona and is worse with the media and fans than Chizik...

He does bring in the 'Hoff. :notworthy:

 

[zmjames6]

In no particular order:

Todd Grahm
Gus Malzhan
Steve Loney
Turner Gill
Chris Peterson
Charlie Strong


My Outside the box Picks
Troy Calhoun, Air Force Head Coach
Trooper Taylor, Okie State co O Coordinator
Dana Holgorsen, Houston O Coordinator (from Iowa originally)
Ken Niumatalolo, Navy Head football coach
Major Applewhite, Texas running backs coach?

If Gill is out....then:

1) Gary Patterson - HC TCU
2) Charlie Strong - DC Florida(I looked up a bit more about him, and I think he would be a great hire, if we are willing to try an untested HC again)
3) Todd Graham - HC Tulsa
4) Kevin Sumlin - HC Houston
5) Steve Loney - OLC St. Louis Rams

We don't need another old Hawkeye!

 

[FlashGordon]

We don't need another old Hawkeye!

Does that apply to Bob Stoops too? :skeptical:

As much as I hate 'em, I don't think anyone should be less of a candidate because of association.

Besides, if we take a Hawkeye and make them a hero here, a sort of Anti-Dan Gable, that's bragging rights for life!

1) Gary Patterson
2) Kevin Sumlin
3) Todd Graham

Although I think 1 is more of a wish than anything.

Count Troy Calhoun out, he has ties to the AF Academy and will not leave. Also, I would count Steve Loney out, he is close to the NFL coaching tenure package.

I would want:

Gill
Strong
Peterson
Patterson

Was it a different Kevin Sumlin that signed an extension this weekend?

Anyone think Phil Fulmer is a possability...I have no idea how old he is, but he's had some success at UT. I'm not saying he is my first pick but he is currently unemployed.

A few people have floated his name, but I really don't want to see him. I think there have been some questions surrounding his time at UT (as with many SEC coaches).

If we can lure in Solich, maybe he can get Phillip Bates to transfer here

Assuming Gill is gone and Patterson is WAY out of our league, then here is my top 4:

1. Paul Rhodes - Former Auburn DC
2. Bill Culbit - Western Michigan Coach
3. Charlie Strong - Florida DC
4. Butch Jones - Central Michigan Coach
