Only an idiot would not want KDB right now. It ain't happening but it would be a HR if it did.
New coach
- Thread starter NOYDB
- Start date
There is no cultural fit anymore in the minor leagues. It’s win games, or you lose
There will be no Chesney. Supposedly, he feels slighted by how he was treated by Kraft during the process and got a firm no after Krafty the idiot got a handshake from Sitake. Unless he makes magic happen soon, he’s gonna have to be fired. This could go down as the largest mishandling of a coaching transition in the history of college fb. How does a PhD not know that you need a signed agreement before you do anything. This dumbass not only told Chesney no after the handshake, but he started putting Sitake out through media, which is when the cookie guy and Mormon church got involved. He is an embarrassment and disaster. And now Franklin is clowning us on signing day as well with a post of the box of the cookies.
He is such a jerk.
Headline: Pat Kraft to hold open tryouts for head football coach
After 10 others coaches turned down the job you would take him right now. Brilliant.
Only a bigger idiot would run a 10 win coach out of town and then wait two months for a coach who is not even coming. How is that working out for you? The AD negotiating with Sitake implies Deboer was not coming.

We supposedly offered Sitake $4M a year more than what Chesney is getting at UCLA. Simply up his offer. His wife is not turning down millions.
I can't defend Kraft. He botched this so badly. He even f'd up his safety option in Chesney.
No, only an idiot wouldn't take KDB at any time.
You are totally misreading what I am writing. Anyway onto the next candidate.
Who would you list for potential candidates at this point...
1) Brohm
2) Diaz?
3) Smith
4) Chesney? If he didn't officially sign yet?
5) Who else is on the list?
6) Cliff Kingsbury I would like to see as coach if he is interested not sure he wants to jump back to college.
Saw an article saying Penn State should consider Dan Mullen. Frankly, at this point there are far worse ideas.
I would gladly take him at this point. It never was a good match with him at Bama and how demanding their fan base is... Why I think there is an outside shot at him still. Especially if he loses in the first round of the playoffs.
Daboll is getting the job according to the insiders. Worst possible hire.
Correct. He's been an offensive genius for decades.
Things fell apart for him at Florida, but he's otherwise been a great HC.
If he does get it, IMHO there could be a lot worse hires. He doesn't excite as much as other candidates so for me its wait and see approach after seeing the product on the field.
Does he still want to coach at this point? I haven't heard him say one way or the other...
He might be available if Bama loses to Georgia this weekend.
The insiders have been wrong before but cheese and rice if it is Daboll he should have been hired a couple of weeks ago!
Franklin is an immature baby if he did that. All show. But I still would have kept him around till we had a sure thing.
He got lazy recruiting. Won 21 games his first two years. Hopefully learned his lesson. Winning like he did at MSU was nothing short of genius. Place is a graveyard for coaches.
How many contacts does he have in place for the portal? You know, the portal? The portal he will need to find 50 players from because who the hell on this roster is going to stick around for Brian freaking Daboll?
I'm pretty sure James Franklin just showed us who the most overpaid, useless party at PSU was. Franklin was hired a month after his firing at essentially the same compensation - I doubt Kraft will ever find another AD job after this display of mindboggling ineptitude and mismanagement.
He didn’t win a state championships at Gateway. That seems to be what I’ve read the most in here.
He’s currently the head coach at UNLV and the team is 10-2 this year so I would assume so
