Next Head FB coach

[RocketDawg]

I remember our AD Byrne tried to get Petersen when he was at Boise. According to sources, he went to Denver to interview him but was unsuccessful in hiring him. The rumor was if he would come with us we even offered to paint our field maroon since he liked Boise's blue field.

I hope that was just a rumor with no substance. The blue field looks terrible. Some school has a red field and it looks awful as well.

It was probably a joke.

[Johnson85]

I agree. Since we are throwing crap against the wall may I suggest Urban Meyer

I'm not against Urban, but only if Saban, Chip Kelly, Brian Kelly, and Dabo turn us down.

I get busy for a few hours and no we are talking about Jason Garrett a guy who has never coached college. And Joe Judge. Good lord.

Cohen is running this search, apparently, by these names.

I would agree if you find a coach like Dan or Gus they can adapt slightly. Dan did well with trash. I don't think Dan would be interested anyway.

Gus would be interesting but a complete change to the offense.

Leach protege of some kid might be way to go modified air raid/spread.

Lot of the names I've seen here just don't have the experience we need for HC at this time in SEC. We don't need another Moorhead experiment. I think Traylor needs more time. Arnett needs more time also.

Of course I feel like a lot of this will depend on how close we were to an AD hire when this happened and what that caniditates thoughts on it are. They will want to make their own hire probably rather than the president and boosters and interim AD doing it

We're in a tough spot under normal circumstances. Add in the transfer portal and early signing day and it's almost untenable. Right now our best bet is either roll with Arnett or find a CEO type coach that would come in for a year and calm the program until we could run a full search.

You can NOT under any circumstances hire a guy for a year. Dear lord our fans sometimes.

[Cooterpoot]

Y'all smokin' today aren't you? And not the good stuff. Some of that Perry Co. class of stuff.
I can't think of many P5 HCs we could hire. Certainly no big names. We'd get a good G5 or a OC from the P5 in all likelihood. I'm not opposed to that, but the timing is so 17d up it's going to be tough. Hoping for the best. But I feel like we could get stuck with basically this staff. My fear is we don't get a good OC. I'm trusting calls have been made. But I know I shouldn't.

I mean the guy who hired Cohen is in charge soooo

When Cohen's name "leaked" out, that caused some ongoing interviews with other candidates to cease.

[Homedawg]

He actually agreed to the deal. It was a done deal and he changed his mind. Byrne was telling people Peterson was coming.

I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale...

I know. Just was being a little facetious. Ha.

That's not going to happen.

[trojandawg]

Pushing the AD search back to after the holidays is so misguided.

I would have to agree. AD will want to hire their guy. And if we wait then you are way behind signing day now that it's December. Really wish they would do that in February again

[CoachT14]

That's not going to happen.

We are slowplaying an AD hire and seemingly keeping Arnett as interim. It’s not far fetched that Keenum is taking the moral high road

What moral high ground? I think that it is more likely he is going to have another hire from within and that is not good for the school or anyone but the good ole boys.

He’s taking the moral high ground by delaying an AD search and by default delaying a coaching search.

Complete rumor and BS. Boise field is blue for a reason.

You're a complete dick these days. Not sure what you have against me but you are a smartass when you reply to my posts. Go **** yourself.
I know for a fact Byrne told someone he was coming.

He might hire arnett but it won't be for a year.
