Who would be the worst hire

[HoopsDawg]

Out of the names mentioned?

I'm going to say Huff.

[Quaoarsking]

Petrino

[Coursesuper]

Petrino

hard to top that one.

[Maverick91]

Frost

From Marshall? He shouldn't even be in the Top 100

[Goldendawg]

No "up and coming" OC or DC. We need a known name with successful HC experience and an exciting O. No retreads looking for one final big check before retirement.

[HancockCountyDog]

Frost or Petrino are way worse than Huff. Not even close.

[Wink&aPrayer]

Frost

abysmal hire

[HoopsDawg]

Frost or Petrino are way worse than Huff. Not even close.

Agree on Petrino. I don't count Frost. That's like saying Beamer. No one would mention them with a straight face.

[woof]

some of the most terrible ideas are from MSU FBK fans who want either: Mullen, Malzahn, Jimbo, Lebby, Stoops, Judge, Petrino, Huff, Coach O, Chizik, Charlie Strong, etc Re-treads. There is a bottomless pit of disaster ideas of hires from MSU's own fans who apparently don't follow college football and think former re-treads are a good idea. Re-treads who have never dealt with the transfer portal, NIL, modern day recruiting or social media.

The most important person on this board did and that being Bert.

[Really Clark?]

That tells you exactly where Frost is on the list in the real world. Nowhere

[confucius say]

Joe judge has been mentioned

[TrapGame]

Huff for sure, but Joe Judge is right there with him.

[Catfish]

Rich Rod

[KOdawg1]

Joe Judge is the easy answer here

[vindastra]

JoMo*

[KB21]

Josh Gattis, since Nemeth includes him in the coaching hot board.

[parabrave]

Kingsberry.

[Coursesuper]

Josh Gattis, since Nemeth includes him in the coaching hot board.

Someone please explain to me why y'all listen to those guys? Ask yourself what their job really is and you will no longer give them any credence.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Kingsbury, Huff, Frost, Schumann, Judge

[viverlibre]

Many of the aforementioned are not candidates. Here is the official list of candidates straight from the AD's desk. They are in order of most likely to happen.

Jamey Chadwell
Jeff Traylor
Rhett Lashlee
Tom Herman
John Sumrall
Lance Leipold
Barry Odom
Gus Bus
Clay Helton
Jeff Lebby

If it get's down to Odom, Helton or Herman, then we know a lot of candidates turned us down. My money is on the first two. Don't be surprised if we don't immediately hear something after the Egg Bowl, agents/coaches will wait to see how TAMU and other openings shake out. Lebby only makes the list due to OU connections, otherwise it will not be someone without HC experience. It will not be a NFL guy.

If we hire Huff.... we deserve being laughed at.

[Mjoelner34]

Jamey Chadwell
Jeff Traylor
Rhett Lashlee
Tom Herman
John Sumrall
Lance Leipold
Barry Odom
Gus Bus
Clay Helton
Jeff Lebby


Out of this list, the 3 worst to me would be (in no particular order)
Sumrall (G5, defensive coach. No thanks), Odom (Defensive coach. Already had his ass kicked in the weaker SEC East), Gus Bus (Would take Mullen back all day over Gus and I don't want Mullen back)

Come on dude. Leipold is not even interested how can he be above Lebby and Odom who are interested. Hell Kinne is not even the list and he is more interested than Leipold.

And then there's the fact that Traylor is not going to leave the state of Texas.

[Bothrops]

Most of them

[viverlibre]

Anyone will leave for the right amount of money. Traylor may wait out Baylor's decision on Aranda, also he's a candidate for TAMU (I think they will go for a bigger name).

[DownwardDawg]

Les Miles!!!

I know. He's not being mentioned. But still

[calidawg]

How is huff a bad hire? He's top 3 hire imo

[HoopsDawg]

How is huff a bad hire? He's top 3 hire imo

Well, you wanted to keep Arnett so....

[DownwardDawg]

How is huff a bad hire? He's top 3 hire imo

He's been a head coach what??? Wikipedia tells me he's been HC for 3 years.
Not sure he'd be on my short list.

[MafiaDawg]

Arnett.

[Todd4State]

Arnett.

This is the correct answer.

[jimbo352]

And then there's the fact that Traylor is not going to leave the state of Texas.

He would absolutely leave for Our job. He may prefer texas, but no coach with a brain in his position would turn the job down. A bad year or 2 at UTSA and he won't find a job. He has to leave this year IMO while he's hot.

[jimbo352]

Don't' take this the the wrong way, cause I don't want him as head coach. Judge seems like a college coach to me. If, and that's a big if. He got the right guys at OC and DC, I think he'd fit in really well and the college level. I don't want to take that chance, but just a feeling I have.

[Cooterpoot]

Judge, Mullen, Fritz, Sumrall, Helton, and Huff

[Homedawg]

Petrino
