Realistic coaching options for 2025...

[Yosef10]

Casey Woods is in the mix... comes highly recommended from Drink -- Satt recommended Neal Brown.

One P5 coordinator after digging into told his agent no thanks.

Either a fall back guy (Brown) -- Brown is awaiting what goes on at WKU.
A first timer (Woods)
OR a 1-AA move up the chain guys

This search will eventually pivot in another direction.

When you Fire an alum that was 40-24 isn't going to get you the top tier guys -- pecking order on who will want this job will fall down the train.

40-24 is nice until you realize just a pedestrian 17-17 against the FBS in his last 3 seasons. I’d be curious to hear what your “top tier guys” list would be?

Perhaps I miscounted but think it was 16-17, point still remains. Prior to him being hired, we’d lost a total of 12 games in 5 years. He was almost doing that in 2 years

No decision. Interviews ongoing. Strong intetrst pool. Just got stronger . Who is “ the best fit” ?

By "Just got stronger' do you mean a new name has entered the mix?

Yes.

[Yosef10]

Wouldn’t mind taking a look at Tino Sunseri. That last name might be familiar for some of y’all. Has been apart of some pretty good teams lately.

Too late, headed to UCLA

Tough to compete with the big10/pac12 or whatever conference they’re in now. He would be OC there but that probably trumps going back to G5 as a HC. Never know though!

And people talking about App not getting “top tier” candidates need to realize this. The days of P4/P5 coordinators leaving those jobs to go be head coaches at G5 programs are just about over. At least coordinators at a certain level of program in the P4.

[Stonewall]

Maybe. Maybe not.

[t4pizza]

Maybe. Maybe not.

Hmm, and the plot continues to thicken. Man I hope that my interpretation of your inference is right. I really don't want Brown.

[HkyMtneer]

Maybe. Maybe not.

That is in reference to…?

Yes.

Would this be someone that has already been mentioned in a couple of places but not actually on the official list until now...or a completely new name we haven't thought of?

Say what you will about Clark, "Bombs over Baghdad and sandpaper that ass" was a badass soundbite. Especially after we backed it up on the field.

But that happened after our high-end talent bailed us out after going down 14-0 to UAB.

That early deficit and high number of penalties that game were a sign.

Wrong year.

But yes, agree on the 2019 game being a harbinger.

What a comment. I'm just going to believe you are being emotional and sharing your personal feelings. CFB is a results driven business and noone can argue that Clark didn't fumble the bag. Any coach that wouldn't want to come here because we fired a coach who was sliding down the mountain into mediocrity is no coach I want leading the program, and frankly, I'd question their ability to lead a McDonalds fryer line if that's their mindset.

I don't even care. I want Tre Lamb. He's 34, I'm 33. He get's it, I get it. He will be gone by the next time there is an opening and I would hate to sit here three years from now and go "I told you so".

That's exactly what I'll be doing though so I may as well add this to my profile. Texas State hired GJ Kinne and it worked out for them, quickly. App is starting from a much higher point of reference than Texas State was.

If DG hasn't already hired Brown, hire Lamb.

I'm sold now. You are 34 and he is 33. What more proof does one need?

Not sure if this has been posted so here you go.

You got that backwards. Lamb is 34. Eric is "Tre Tre"

(I believe Lamb is actually 35)

Guys Clark is gone, rehashing the highlights and lowlights time has passed.

[asu7]

Guys Nick Saban wants to get back into coaching and is going to be a Mountaineer! That’s a name we haven’t tossed around yet.

[Bigdaddyg1]

Well Bill Bilichek is interviewing with the Tarheels so why can’t we bring a senior citizen up to Boone as well?

There may be no realistic coaching options for 2025, considering the treatment of one of our own...

Dude....give it a rest.

[EastHallApp]

It's true guys. Doug Gillin will have to give up and coach the team himself. No coach would ever step into a snakepit that expects him to be able to (checks notes) make a bowl game in the Sun Belt.

Where is Clark rumored to go?

Some would argue he gave us poor treatment for destroying the Ferrari
