Which Direction do we go??

Postby gostangs » Sun Aug 31, 2014 8:51 pm

For next years HC and staff?

1) Experienced proven commodity
2) Young up and coming HC that shows tons of promise
3) Seasoned Coordinator

Its one of those three. Could get a number 1 who is a big name but damaged goods kind or guy with something to prove - i think that would be my preference but not sure we can get that through RGT.

I like the idea of number 2, and then take the 800k you save on his salary and go hire the three best recruiters in college football.

Is Coach Orgeron available now? No Lane Kiffin ever, I saw enough of that crap in Atlanta yesterday.

i think Coker would be a pretty good call. We could just call our coaches the Larry's

Pretty old (66), might look a little better if he can win something at UTSA this season.

Is SMU a better job than UTSA? Serious question.

The $2 million a year experiment didn't work. How much will the CofC be willing to pay now?

He would bring NFL cred, College cred, and the ability to attract a great staff.
