Since the "who should we hire" threads have been discussed ad nauseum...
Who are your favorite coaches (top 5) that you pull for when they aren't playing State or another team you have ties to & why? This IS NOT "who do you want our next coach to be." For this, you have to take State out of the SECW and assume they are DIV3 (not too hard right now) so that you aren't biased about it.
Mine:
1. Ed Orgeron - Wild Boyz! - This guy has his dream job and is happier than a mule eating briars. Sounds like it, too. He may be a better delegator than X's & O's guy, but he has gotten it done at USC when he took over as interim HC and also at LSU as interim HC. As big of a mistake as we all thought they were making, he has been a good hire for them. You can't ignore when he's interviewed or gives a press conference. His Rogers-Dabbs Hummer commercial will always be funny. His LLC is the "Rosy Finch Boyz." His Ole Miss HC record was 3-8 (1-7), 4-8 (2-6), 3-9 (0-8.) for a final total of 10-25 (3-21 SEC). Much like the situation we are in now, The Sharts had their opportunity to put their foot on our throat while we were Crooming and Coach O came along. I would love to see him win the Natty this year just to see Nafoom and The Spirit blow up over letting him go.
2. Les Miles - The Mad Hatter. The Connoisseur of SEC Turf. He's another one that's hard for me to pull against. He was so predictably unpredictable. Games that they were seemingly out of, he would pull something out of his magic hat. Trick plays. Crazy play calls that only worked for him. And when they had a game in hand, he would make a bone headed call that left you wondering if he was all there.
3. Mike Leach - The Pirate. He's not politically correct. He doesn't care what you or "your fat, little girlfriends" think. He was born about 40 years late.
4. Lane Kiffin - Mr. Joey Freshwater - Twitter Troll. How he didn't wind up at Ole Miss is beyond me. He really is cut from their cloth. He got his (first few) jobs because of his Diddy. His first recruiting video from FAU that sounded like a hostage video was hilarious. There must be a lot of trim getting thrown his way in Boca Raton. He seems content there instead of looking for his first ticket out. He's put on some weight, too. I still find myself rooting for him just because of how pissed off he left TN in the middle of the night (and it was a crappy thing for him to do, but USCw was probably his dream job, so I get it.)
5. David Cutcliff - Ole Miss should've kept him. Thankfully, they didn't. However, with the new rules, paying players becoming legal and all......will they go back to the well when they fire Luke? He has won consistently at Duke for all these years.....Duke. In football. I don't know that he would go back. He can retire at Duke with low stress. He seems to be a genuinely good guy and after the debacle of a time with O and Nutt, it shows how much they screwed up.
Now who do you despise?
Mine:
1. Tommy Tubberville - While he would fit with O & Cutcliff as former Ole Miss coaches who were successful post Oxford, I can't stand him. He's a snake. Fit in at Ole Miss and Auburn perfectly. If I shook his hand, I'd check to make sure I had all my fingers when I was done.
2. Bret Bielema - He looked like he sweated rancid bacon grease. He was the composite sketch you would get if we all described Arkansas fans to a police sketch artist.
3. Croom - I didn't despise him until he trashed us on the 30 for 30 or whatever the ESPN show was. We gave him a shot, allowed him to hire his buddies, and dismantle the program. And then he is too proud to be able to look in the camera and say, "I didn't have what it took to coach in the SEC."
4. Bobby Petrino - All of the jumping around he did before going to Arkansas showed his character. He is a greasy sleezeball.
5. Hugh Freeze - Nothing needs to be said.
