Pros and cons of potential head coaches

[Todd4State]

I would like Orgeron simply because it would drive UNM insane and he would do everything in his power to make their life a living hell. Plus he knows all their recruiting tricks so it would be fun to watch them squirm as they will be hamstrung even further after the NCAA hammer falls.

He knows Mississippi, Memphis, and Louisiana well. He could very easily pull the top 10-15 from Mississippi, 3-5 quality guys from Memphis, and 3-5 quality guys from NOLA every year. He would probably keep T-Buck and the recruiting triplets as well.

And as an added bonus he would probably be pissed off at LSU for not hiring him as well. That could be a very good thing.

He might be able to get Lance Thompson for us as well and that would help our recruiting a lot.

Ha. Yeah I would love Shaw, doubt he leaves Stanford to be our DC. Seriously Mason would be a really good DC. Just worrisome that several of these types of coaches don't put much stock in defense or takes too long before they do.

My bad. I meant Mason. Ha!

What about Jeff Brohm HC at WKU or Dave Aranda LSU DC?

Added Aranda. He has a good record as a DC.


Does anyone know why Chavis has never been a head coach? Does he have a scandal on him or something? Surely he's gotten the chance before and turned it down?

Probably because he's a good coordinator guy and doesn't come across as head coaching material in interviews.

I'm gonna sticky this up top. If y'all would rather it not be ill move it back.

Add Mario Cristobal, Asst HC at Bama. Shit, at least consider him because he was a bad ass offensive lineman for Miami. At least we would have a solid oline!

A guy that was 27-47 in 6 years at Florida International?

I added him, but I don't really have a lot of pros to say for him. Do I remember correctly that he's supposedly a good recruiter?

[I seen it dawg]

He got a lineman out of West Point...oh wait that was Hevesy

If we are taking anyone from Alabama I hope it's Kiffin.

If we dont get Art Briles someone else will and everyone will regret not taking him

We won't talk with him and the administration has the backing of several power supporters in that regard. Unless something drastically changes y'all Briles supporters all just wasting you time even bringing him up. And there is a lot of speculation he will not get interviews for any Power 5 school this season. If Herman leaves he might get to talk with Houston. LSU will hire Mullen before Briles per third hand info from supporter who supposedly will have input. That's 3rd hand though.

ETA. I actually think this hang around his neck that he never reaches the same level of success again. Maybe he does ok but it doesn't matter. There are many who will not regret passing on him if he is even available and goes somewhere else and wins. We are not missing out on anything.

Brohm Montgomery and Fleck are very realistic and would be high on my list.

I don't think you'll see Briles coaching in the SEC anytime soon.

[GTHOM]

I am in no way shape or form condoning what he did at Baylor, but all I'm saying is that just like every other scandal (Stringfellow at OM, Petrino at Ark, Simmons at State, Hartsfield and more at OM) it will all go away and the media will fall in love with Briles if he goes somewhere and wins. Y'all know it.

Not condoning but you named 2 scandals involving HS kids and one involving a college Sophmore. That's a big difference with a 60 year old coach, in position of authority, covering up significant issues to keep players on his team eligible and against school mandated discipline policy in those instances. Petrino got busted cheating on his wife, is considered as good if not better HC, had to go to a lower D1 school before his old school just happened to need a coach the following year and had lengthy conversations about his behavior and put in place measures to protect them from his team hopping. If Louisville wasn't open, he wasn't leaving Western Kentucky that year either. Now compare and contrast what Petrino did and Briles behavior. I just don't see a Power 5 school going after him this year. Maybe ever again. Like I said earlier, maybe Houston could as a lower program with a prior relationship and get away with it. But, what if there are skeletons their that we don't know about? If Herman leaves and Houston doesn't touch him, that's another red flag to me
