sevendust post - possible HC candidates. Discuss.

Norm Chow-UCLA OC
Dave Christansen-Mizzu OC(Said to be the main reason for Mizzu up rise)
Dan Mullins-UF OC
Gary Crowton-LSU OC
Mike Leach-TTech HC
Chris Petersen-Boise St HC(Hell bring just about all of BSU staff with you as well)
Click to expand...

I think any of the OC's are legitimate candidates except Chow. And Petersen from Boise might consider us. Leach would not even piss in our direction.

the only problem is that Chow is probably making Croom money as the OC at UCLA. (or close to it)

Peterson wouldn't be a bad hire. After the Rebs roll us in the Egg Bowl, Byrne needs to be on a private jet somewhere.

I would add in Tulsa's staff....it would be interesting to have Malzahn on staff for the Egg Bowl and his history with Nutt
Throw in a JUCO head coach or too.....Hatten at PRCC/HC at MGCC (if all else fails)
Art Briles???
BYU's entire coaching staff????

but I called Urban Meyer(sp) was gonna be the man when he was at BG. A lot of schools turned him down because they thought he wasn't "big time " enough.

Paul Johnson wasn't considered big time enough either when he was at Ga Southern.

Did you notice the names Johnson was up there with in record for the 1st 11 years? Switzer, Osborne, Wilkinson ect.

We have to go young no matter what.

Recruiting is a young man's game. Look at Cohen.

Younger guys aren't scared to look at new ways of doing things. Plus, they aren't scared of a challenge.

We are definitely a challenge.

Both are very close to Byrne, especially Erickson. Don't be surprised to see one of these guys at Vegas.

Erickson ain't leaving ASU and Peterson is on to the big boys. He is at the top of all the lists.

Levitt is a pipe dream too.

I like him and Mullins.

I like the other 2 a little better because

1) I think we could get them
2) They are HC's with championships that are winners. They would not settle for mediocre.

I can never understand the Sherill bashing. He was the winnest coach we have had since the 1940's. And don't start with the Bob Tyler crap.

Sherrill's NCAA baggage was a huge concern - just like Erickson. I appreciate what he did for MSU but considering Sherrill's past, it's not hard to fathom Erickson could be considered if history is any indication.

And let me go ahead and say Erickson would never happen. He would never leave Arizona State for MSU.

******** on that one. Y'all would have taken Dennis Erickson in a New York minute if he'd have given you the time of day. Don't give me the, 'he was even too sleazey for us' crap. That is horseshit.

Guys, first time poster, but I was just wondering what ya'll thought about these two guys. Butch Davis from UNC or David Cutcliffe. I know Cutcliffe was ole miss, but he would have one hell of a QB. Just a thought.

Cutcliffe should never be mentioned again. He had quite possibly the greatest recruiting tool Ole Miss ever had and left them with nothing.

although it's a short track record, he likes to hire guys he's familiar with. I know he speaks with Peterson a lot, they are close friends. As for you guys thinking that this guy wouldn't come here and so on, we are in the SEC. It's second only to pro teams in stature. It's the hardest league to coach in too but look what's gonna happen next year with ESPN. We will be in every 17'n household weekly. Croom will be removed and Byrne will bring in the guy that will take us to that next level. I just hope we can hang on to Byrne.

I don't think we have a legit shot at any Div 1A head coach. Our best bet is to go after a Div 1A coordiantor or a Div 1AA head coach. If we make the change and the guy is successful, you are next faced with the challenge of convincing him to stay in Starkville. The campus and facilities are outstanding, but once outside of campus, there ain't a whole hell of a lot to get excited about. In comparing quality of life (and I don't mean the amount of bars or damn chain restaurants) to other college towns in the Southeast, Starkville's got a long way to go. The city and county government here need a complete overhaul.

If Cohen had not played ball here and he and his wife did not have ties to Tuscaloosa, I'm not sure he would have taken the job.

this is the perfect time to reel a big name in. I think that one of the reasons that we had so much trouble getting Urban Meyer or someone of his caliber five years ago was because there was so much turmoil in the SEC. Bama, Florida, UT, Auburn, and others all had shaky situations at the HC position. I don't know if we ever offered him, but I think that it was very obvious the Meyer along with some others were waiting for a better opportunity.

Right now, however, I think it's safe to say that almost all of the SEC's head coaches are fairly well locked in for a few years other than ourselves and possibly Kentucky. Even though UT fans are getting rabid, Fat Phil isn't going anywhere. This is a great time to get a good, young talent. To be honest, I don't even care if it's someone that's going to be here for 4 years and then ditch us. As long as they can get this trainwreck headed in the right direction, I'll take what we can get.

he pissed Khayatt off and he took the deal off the table.

He was at #***#!% Idaho or whatever, he was jumping at the chance to coach in the SEC.

So we hired Orgeron instead.

Yea, its all great if you get a OC for a head coach, But i think some of you miss the point that WE DONT HAVE THE PLAYERS for a offense like a Mizzou, or like a Boise( not to mention the horrible conference they are in ), or like a texas tech.. you people dont understand that we need RECRUITING first, then find a solid system, and THEn win. Although, I dont think Croom is doing **** about this.

He would take a SEC job in a second I think. Low pressure, low profile......that's what he is going to be looking for after the mess that in Oakland.

I personally say we keep Croom. I think this season was lost when the last second ticked off at La Tech. We win that game we probably pull out AU and don't get run out of the building yesterday in my opinion.

I also like Fresno State's head coach. I think he would leave for a SEC job in a heart beat.

If he was jumping at the chance to coach in the SEC, he would've been. He didn't want your ****** job, just like he won't want our ****** job. But don't spin it to sound like you wanted the Big O over Dennis Erickson. He didn't want you. That's why he wasn't hired.

Erickson was coaching the San Francisco 49ers at the time (a far fu--ing cry from Idaho) and he wouldn't give Khayatt and Boone the time of day. If Khayatt had any ethical problems with hiring Erickson, why in the hell did Boone fly to San Francisco to talk with him in the first place?? You hired Orgeron for one reason and one reason only. He was he only fool you could get to take the damn job.

we have, right now, 3 pretty good WRs, 3 pretty good RBs, and 2 servicable QB's. We have a pretty good fullback, and decent TE's. Even our OLine is servicable enough.

Our problem is NOT the talent, our problem is the scheme and the coaching. Otherwise, how do you explain teams like Memphis, Boise State, Navy, or Eastern Michigan? All of them are teams with NO football tradition (except maybe Navy), and all of them are top 50 offenses.

MSU can't move the ball with any regularity, and when they do they freaking CHOKE. That is MENTAL. It has nothing to do with talent. We've got enough to be competative except they are not being coached well enough.

I love thinking about the "list" but I just dont see us doing anything this year. Croom would have to lose out for it to even be a possibility. The only way I see anything happening is if Croom resigns.

But to the list...

- this would be a good year to hire in the SEC because only UT could be coach hunting.
- I would not want to be a coach in the SEC West with Saban, Miles, Tubby in here. I dont even need to talk about the East.
- 1.7 - 2.0 mill could get a good OC though.

If Dan Mullins isnt at least called we are crazy.
