I'm really not sure who we hire now as head ball coach. Lanning said no, DeBoer seems unlikely since they're gonna be in the PAC-12 Championship game and maybe the playoffs, Elmo's Duke team is 6-5 and just lost to Virginia, and I really do not want Traylor. So unless we're just gonna keep ERob, which seems kind of doubtful but I definitely would not be against, I'm not sure who our guy is right now.

Probably gonna get stuck with Traylor

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. Maybe we struck out on all the big candidates we went after, so he's our last resort.

There are names we don't know about. Not a ton of leaks other than big time coaches across the country legitimately interested.

It sounds like he's way down the list.

Have you heard anything or do you have any guesses as to who?

I think there is a decent chance of getting Dabo.

Guesses is all I have but really there are a ton of possibilities. I do know there are at least a couple of coaches who no one would expect. As for who my guess is as good as yours

Pate says A&M has interviewed coaches from "(literally) 4 corners of the nation" while Liucci is talking about Traylor a ton like he did about Petrino.

Not confident in Traylor being way down the list anymore.

Yeah I'm afraid of that too. Four corners of the country would imply DeBoer, but just because of where UW is at in there season, I don't think we can hire him and announce it before January, so he's probably out.

Looch has said he's way down the list. He's also said he's only giving names of coaches that he knows will not be affected by leaks.

It's funny watching this board's self-realization as they realize that there aren't that many options to improve on the coaching we had.

His agent is counting on it

Agree..but what were they supposed to do, he clearly wasn't firing Addazio and he was the main problem.

I'm kinda diggin' the Arizona coach right now. He turned that **** show around in a hurry, and they flat embarrassed Utah today.

Yeah I'd agree Arizona's been super hot lately. Though, I feel like it might be bad luck to hire another coach with Fish in his name.

His name has been floated on premium by others. He's not my first choice but he's better that Traylor.

I wouldn't mind a year of E-Rob to see what he could do. Along with a new O-Line coach and a few tweaks. Who knows. It's a long shot but it just might work. Players might want to play for him. Expectations would be tempered. It's not like any big name great coaches are going to be a guaranteed success. Good chance it would be more of the same old story, rinse and repeat.

I thought he said something similar about Petrino.

With that being said, if Norvell is actually one of these candidates, I would love for Bjork to hire him just to piss off FSU.

Except you'd have to pay him like 15+ a year. And pay Clemson 20 million

He said we circled back to Petrino after others said no.

As for Traylor he's said he's an option but not likely to happen.

Dabo benefited from laundering "NIL" money through a church (New Spring) before NIL was legal.

No thanks.

I posted all about this for the past couple years.

Our biggest problem with the OLine is experience. UW has 22 yr of experience in their OL+TE. We are at 18. Last year we were at like 13.

Teams below 19-20 are going to suck. TCU last year was at like 27. They were a CFP team.

Alabama made a living winning Natties by getting RS Jrs who were late 1st Rd picks to come back for another year to be a Top10 pick.

Our best year under Jimbo, we had a very experienced OLine.

Injuries have plagued us. Medical retirements, injuries, mono...

I don't know how to fix that. We needed to bring in 7-8 OLine from the Transfer Portal and we didn't. Our OLine sucked because there was no depth and no experience.

Taking 4 OL each year isn't working.

You know how we fixed our DL woes?! We signed a bunch more DL than we needed.

Easier said than done. But, no matter who we get to coach, we need to bring in a bunch of OLine so that we can protect the QB... and function as an O.

Jedd Fisch or Johnathan Smith would be good gets. JSmith is facing a conference-less future next season and though he is at his alma mater I think he can be pried away due to the circumstances.

I would love for A&M to hire someone because they're a really good football coach. That's it. End of my reasons. Instead we'll hire someone to try and pop some big headlines or spite someone else/piss off someone else.

Maybe some day we'll do shht for the right reasons. Until then we deserve what we bring in.

No ****ing thanks. He sucks

Jimbo also had his number when we played the home and home. We'd have won had it not been for the really bad officiating that series

Venables was also stealing signs before Michigan made it cool to do so; this, and a dominant defense coupled with offensive superstars can disguise an incompetent offense, which Clemson had even in the golden years. He's literally Jimbo 2.0; a stubborn ass on the decline IMHO.

No Dabo will not be our coach. He is Jimbo 2.0. He makes 10.5 million a year, has a 10 million buyout, and is even more stubborn than Jimbo.

Inexperience at Oline does not explain the level of suck we have seen.
Addazio has just been bad, bad, bad.
