What's the deal with Spurrier Jr? Why hasn't he had a chance to become a HC? I'm not suggesting him btw....just curious.
Lame to Auburn
Mullen to Mississippi
Imagine the heads exploding on that
Dykes would be a great fit for us. I?d take him or Gus
It was 2011(I was there as a student) but yea, not only did Bumphis return a punt for TD in regulation, but they were also driving late in the fourth and Banks picked them off in the endzone. It was also the last time we wore black uniforms until Moorhead 2019 vs Abiliene Christian. First time Mullen got booed at State as we were heading to the locker room at halftime.
Leach hasn't looked healthy to me since he's been here. But if he was still battling any pneumonia, he wouldn't be allowed out in this weather, period. I hope he's not seriously ill. I felt like Howland was sick for a while, but who knows.
I also don't want to have to be searching for another coach right now, or anytime in the near future. It sucks for the blue bloods to do it, and it's even worse for us. That said, If this rumor is true, Gus wouldn't be on my shortlist. Retread city. Gundy has been phenomenal at OSU, but is not a fit anywhere else, and wouldn't come anyway. This means promoting Arnett, or hiring an unknown. Both are likely bad moves. The guys I might like to see, just wouldn't come here. We need to get the right AD first.
Leach leaving at the same time as Kiffin would not be ideal for us at all. We need some stability- especially after having Moorhead for only two years. Not to mention no AD.
If we hire from within I'd go with Spurrier over Arnett.
If Benko is our new AD I bet we end up with Clay Helton if Leach retires and I think I could be Ok with that.
Not sure if there is another SEC team other than Vandy that would promote their WR coach to HC...that would be baffling and depressing (not to mention crippling).
We're in the SEC. We're not the Little Sisters of the Poor. We can get a decent coach. It's just all about fit, and there is definitely a bit of luck in that.
I'm also not worried about competing with OM on hiring a coach.
He certainly has no worse or a resume than Dykes.
He has a much better resume than Arnett or Spurrier.
I think he could be a good fit for our program. Has USC ties and could potentially set up our recruiting and modernize it. His OC came from Western Kentucky so he is familiar with the Air Raid which should in theory help with transition.
What about sunny Cumbie? I havent kept up with what hes done at LA tech this year
If Leach retires or is fired if he loses Egg Bowl i would be on a plane to Ft Worth and get Dykes whatever he wants. SEC over BIG 12 any day. And I hope TCU wins it all. Fun to watch? they play hard and are disciplined. Plus he has a pipeline in Texas like Leach. If you can win at SMU & TCU?. That?s good enough for me.
