Idk if he would be a good fit down here he has only coached in the Midwest but the dude can couch. Could we pull Matt Entz from North Dakota State? That is a powerhouse and the dude has looked good since he has been there when he started in 2019.
Edit: if the dude keeps doing what he is doing he is going to get a shot somewhere big.
Someone I would take a strong look at is Jamey Chadwell. Liberty head coach. He did an amazing job at Coastal Carolina and has Liberty undefeated so far in his first season. He does have a 4mil contract through 2030 but Liberty has no conceivable path to Power 5.
He was also the head coach for one year at Delta State earlier in his career, so he is familiar with the area. He will be somewhere big eventually.
I think he might have some skeletons in the closet.
I think if it happens we wind up with either Petrino, Beamer or Malzhan. Petrino may go after the Florida job if it opens up. Malzhan may get a look from Arkansas. I know he was OC there under Nutt. Beamer is a long shot but stranger things have happened.
You just have to be careful at that small of a program with long history of success with multiple coaches. Gohl built it but has been below .500 At Wyoming. Klieman absolutely! And was even better than Gohl. He also spent several years at Northern Iowa. They churn out top notch coaches. Entz hasn't maintained that same level as Klieman I would like to see a G5 level success from him or him to pick back up NDST for a few years. Great coach though and also a part of that Northern Iowa tree.
Just go hire Merls and be over with it. No other coach can go find talent to fit his scheme, get them cheap, coach them up and start winning. And this time he will quit searching for a job after the Kentucky game/
That we could get any caoch to agree to a lowball deal like this for SEC West program shows what a Mickey Mouse decision and commitment we made to "compete" against our opponents in the SEC this year. I haven't followed their record although many here said AZ would have a very good year, but I bet they are still very tee'd off they lost to us!
My God that's amateur hour.
I mean, if Jackie Sherrill was put back on staff and he was Arnett's mentor/advisor on the sideline, that's one thing but having a HS coach telling you how to coach a P5 program is absolutely ludicrous and Dollar General level coaching.
