I like Venables. Correct me if Im wrong but isnt Clark an older guy?

I wouldn't want a defensive guy. It's an offensive game now. No D guy is going to want to run a high powered passing attack or fast paced offense. They generally go pro style and we can't recruit for that.
My final list of coaches if it comes to it:
James Franklin, only making $4.6 at Penn State. Would he wanna come back to the SEC? He is worth $6M.
Dave Doeren, NC State. Offensive guy. Runs a development program similar to Mullen. His play calling is really creative.
Bill Clark, UAB. Lots of connections through AL high schools. Believe he would be pretty good hire.
Mike Norvell, Memphis. Obvious reasons but has he just taken Fuente's talent and bummed off of it? Can he recruit?
Matt Campbell, Iowa State. Beat Oklahoma with a third team QB. They recruit MS pretty heavily.
Dana Holgorensen, WV. Have been told there is some interest from Dana if it opens up. Has a child in Pisgah. Offensive minded coach.
I also think Venerables and Pruitt would be okay.
Have you watched a high school game in the last 15 years? There are almost 0 teams running anything close to that in this state. It’s either the wing t or a variant of that or it’s the spread. Who is running the “pro style” offense in the SEC? Let’s check, Arkansas, that’s working out well now isn’t it.
Only reason I clicked on this was because of the title "Rosebowl Say". After last night will not be clicking any threads started by C34. This site seems to be more about him now than MSU. Hail State!
So Dan didn't get out coached.
1. A team that hadn't run the ball all year ran all over us.
2. A team that was so/so in protecting the quarterback, for the most part gave him time to throw.
3. A defense that has been terrible against the run all year stopped us when they needed to.
4. A defense that has been average at best against the pass stopped us. Yes you can argue that was because Fitz was out, but that's only part of the story. We should have been able to complete short passes. Mullen was not prepared for this.
5. Their poor offensive line outplayed us.
6. Their poor defensive line outplayed us.
7. Other than the blocked punt I don't believe we even had an advantage on special teams.
Dan got out coached.
Stayed to the end. You could tell when UNM hit the field they wanted it more that us. Not unusual. I don't want losing seasons of "Well it's ok as long as we beat Ole Miss, but we will never get 9 to 10 wins if we don't.
Agree Liverpool -- we only OUTGAINED TCUN by almost 150 yards despite losing one of the best playmakers in the SEC. 2 of the 5 TO's being practically inside the red-zone obviously didn't hurt us any. C'mon Martian, that's some absurd sh!t right there.
