Ghost of Reagan Past posted:Ruffin McNeill is doing a very good job at ECU and will get a chance. Since Michigan seems to have their head up their rear end they're not gonna go full air raid, but Florida might be willing to give it a shot after the success Sumlin's had. If Dave Brandon is doing the hiring, he'll want a guy who runs the Power-I under center with two tight ends and an H-back. Gaining three yards on a fullback dive is the epitome of college football. Hence, I'll give Hoke another year if it means getting rid of Brandon first so that somebody whose knuckles don't drag when he walks can hire Hoke's successor.

we extended Leach's contract through the 2018 season last year, which was a good move obviously and about as long as individual contracts with big names tend to go these days, whether they get renewed or not. unfucking our program is going to take longer than even the worst of us pessimists thought and 2018 could very well end up being our first time in the T25 since being #25 for a week in 2006. I hope he stays here until he retires for good, no matter how bad our season gets (losing to Rutgers and Nevada  ) he'll never have alumni nor anyone else breathing down his neck as long as there's some sense of progression. Anyway, he's not going anywhere for a few more years at least but a good article on him ran on ESPN the other day and I think a lot of you guys will like it: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11534606/mike-leach-feels-ease-coaching-football-pullman-washington-state-cougars

Probably Magic posted:I know it's far too topical of choice, but maybe Ruffin McNeil? I don't know how much he has left on his contract, but ECU looks good and he apparently managed not to completely gently caress up TTU during his one interim coaching stint for them in the bowl game, so... maybe decent? Ruff's an interesting case. He's currently at his alma mater having a good bit of success. He's completely dependent on his OC, though, for offense and his defense of choice is pretty much base 4-3 and run to the ball. Not exactly a heady coordinator, but a great motivator. So is he interested enough in the money to be tempted by a P5 program?

Watching Michigan's last coaching change, it sure looked like Brandon fired Rodriguez because he thought he had Harbaugh lined up. Then Harbaugh stiffed him for the Niners, and Brandon had to scramble for Plan B, ending up with Hoke. I don't think Jim is going to any calls from Ann Arbor.

Penn State's running game is so bad that they might as well go full fledged air raid this season, especially with Hackenberg and the talent they have at WR and TE. I figured Indiana might be the best candidate for the air raid, but I looked at their stats, and their playcalling is remarkably well balanced.

Yeah their running back is actually pretty good from what I saw (Granted, our defense is trash garbage), Indiana's only problem is they can't stop anyone, but they're pretty nicely loaded with offensive weapons. I'd imagine Kevin Wilson is getting some attention from bigger schools.

He's head coach of Indiana and has really turned them into a respectable team. Yeah, they don't play defense, but their offense has risen into the top 20 nationally in the last few years. Their offense gives them a shot to beat almost any team in the Big Ten.

He gave Ohio State fits for 2 or 3 years as well. It's honestly not a bad way to approach running a team like Indiana. The odds a school like that is ever going to have a big ten caliber defense are pretty low so concentrate on the offensive side of the ball and get into track meets with teams built more for a grinding ground game.

Ruff at ECU is pretty much a perfect pairing for both parties. SMU should take a very close look at Lincoln Riley for their open spot. Sonny Cumbie would be another great land for SMU.

Someone should hire Chad Morris so Dabo will look like Chizik after he lost Malzahn. Morris is the main reason they've been competitive for the last few years. He definitely deserves a HC spot and I want to watch Clemson burn. Win-win. Also I am going to fall down laughing if a big school hires Greg loving Schiano.

Plus I could see SMU being a major player in recruiting while he's there as well because Texas High School football coaches love former Texas High School coaches.

Kim Jong Il posted:Just because fans hate Brandon, is there any reason to think that coaches would be scared off by him though? Scared? No. But no coach with other options is going to want to deal with this smug rear end in a top hat butting in all the time. The culture is poisonous, as the first outsider to be coach since Bo was never accepted, given little support from the AD, and ultimately run out of town on a rail. I think the best for Michigan is to fire Brandon, and the new AD hires the next coach. It likely means another lost season with Hoke due to the timing, but that sounds better to me than 3-5 seasons with whatever clown show Brandon would hire with his 'process'.

No reason to waste a year, dump Brandon after the MSU game (a 77-0 loss, natch) and by the time December rolls around there's a new Pizza Executive ruining everything. Maybe Papa John is available. Or Hungry Howie. There's already an Ilitch on the board of regents.

Golden's seat is getting hotter. Some of the larger Miami Boosters have already told the school they aren't donating any more money until he's gone, including stuff he'd already pledged. That kind of stuff matters more than message board stuff.

Alas, one of our indefinitely suspended o-line starters (Kennedy Estelle) just got officially dismissed. He was one of the two who were initially reported as dismissed, then later announced as suspended. Nobody will be returning from suspension for Kansas. We might get RB/WR Daje Johnson back for Baylor though, he's apparently been practicing.

MourningView posted:The culture being poisonous and any outsider being rejected is a problem that goes a whole hell of a lot deeper than Brandon. Yeah, there's a lot of problems with the program at a lot of levels, and a lot of problems with Brandon that are largely orthogonal to the rest. Where they intersect, Brandon is actively encouraging the toxic, inbred culture rather than trying to clean things up, which is even more of a reason to get rid of him. I am in favor of burning the whole thing down and starting over again. I hope the new president and BoR think the same thing.

He wasn't anything special as a QB but Texas fans loved him and were screaming for him to start the whole time he was there. He's never done anything as a coach but he keeps getting high profile jobs. If you live in Texas just name your kid Stetson Sixshooter and teach him to throw a spiral. He'll be set up for life.
