Coaching possibilities

[LongviewLobo01]

No thanks on Richt. He's Mack without the national title.

We had this convo on IT about Meyer and Lamar Littrel mentioned something about a "Fun baby" was the real reason he left Florida. The health reason were mentioned by another poster as a cover to leave due to his wife being pissed and threatening him. His wife is from, I think, the Columbus area too. Lastly, this Sporting news article changed my view of UM: From champs to chomped: How Urban Meyer broke Florida football - NCAA Football - Sporting News

I'd take David Cutcliffe overJames Frankiln right now. He's a better QB developer that's for sure.

He made Thad Lewis an NFL QB.

Green Bay's Mike McCarthy could be a possibility. He has a home on Lake Travis and I believe his daughter lives in Austin. FWIW

Andersen from Wisconsin, great coach and completely turned around one of the worst programs in college football!

 

[LongviewLobo01]

McCarthy would be nuts to leave Rogers but he can coach for sure.

Maybe Anderson could bring Keeton from Utah State to solve our QB issues heading into next year.

 

[NLeininger]

I would say no to Meyer because of Aaron Hernandez and several other questionable characters he recruited to Florida. He also straddles the line of ethics too much.

How the hell has gundys name not atleast in the conversation if sorry ass mark rict is

 

[ATX89]

Has anyone heard if Briles new extension has out clauses for any in-state schools or is the buyout a flat amount with no school exceptions?

I wouldn't be so quick to discount bringing Coach Boom back to the 40. True, his Gators have struggled, but they've also been decimated with injuries. He had a Top 10 finish last year and is currently 22-14 / .611. His iron-jaw mentality is much needed right now and he's already familiar with Texas and the recruiting roads. Texas high school coaches loved him during his 3-year stint and he was named Coach-in-Waiting for a reason. He's a helluva coach! Consider the overall records of those hired prior to coming to Texas: Brown was 86-74-1 / .537%; Mackovic was 44-36-1 / .549; McWilliams was 7-4 / .636; Akers was 10-13 / .435 and DKR was 17-13 / .567. I think this would make a seamless transition and I really believe Muschamp covets the Texas and would literally jump at the chance to return to Austin. His wife loved it here and with the rising temps in Gainesville, who knows? FWIW

If not Saban, Meyers, or Briles, how about Bill O'Brien of Penn State? He's done a lot with little talent under difficult circumstances.

As for NFL guys, I like Ken Whisenhunt, San Diego Chargers' OC. Philip Rivers is having a career year.

 

[Lord Vader]

How many of you guys prefer an NFL man to a CFB man?

 

[TheContractor]

Ian a 100% in on a CFB guy.

I believe college and NFL are different, recruiting and innovative Offenses and time constraints make it a different challenge.

and I agree with this, which is why I just cant wrap my mind around the folks wanting Gruden.
