Head Coach idea

[Topper]

Did you go to the Rice game last year? Coaches are fired with years left on contracts all of the time. As I drove home from that fiasco last year it dawned on me that Bennett had breached his contract. We hired him to be a football coach. I dont know what he is coaching, but it isnt football.

The only coordinator I'd be in favor for is Norm Chow. But he passed on the job six years ago.

AMEN!

The Florida DC is BCS material not CUSA material. Similar to Gene Chizik leaving UT for Iowa State. Not an option.

Ah...and you think that doesn't hold true for each and every coach we are looking at? You continue to amaze with your ignorant posts.

Aren't we considering top current Coordinators, top former Head coaches, or fallen ones, and perhaps up and coming lower division HCs, such as:

Major Applewhite
Paul Johnson
Franchione (post firing)
Tommy Tuberville (assuming he loses and gets fired, not likely)
Jimbo Fisher
Houston Nutt (who will be considered for Nebraska)
Turner Gill (see above)

I in not way suggest that they would prefer SMU over other potential offers, but to say that someone is BCS material and not CUSA material is ridiculous.

Chizik royally F'ed up going to a "BCS" team like Iowa State...he would have been better off waiting for a better job, or going to a lower division team he could be a 'winner' at...then jumping to a top BCS team.

He will be out of head coaching in a few years b/c you can't win at some of these mid-lower BCS teams. Rarely do you bring them up like Mangione has at KU this year.

Charlie Strong is BCS material not CUSA material. When you are at a top-rung BCS school, those top assistants usually go to mid-level BCS programs.

I think your assessment of Chizik better wait for a few years before we really know.

He will not be a candidate here.

Major Applewhite? Sure. He hasn't been at a BCS school long enough to build up the cred that Strong has. That's why Strong is BCS material.

And your assessment of my "ignorance" is blinded by your blind rage that really makes you look very amateur.

Again, Charlie Strong is not on the table.

Charlie Strong may or may not be on the table. If he is not, it is NOT because he is 'bcs' material, or he would have been hired somewhere by now after all the interviews he's been on.

You are an idiot.

Once again, you lost the argument because when you throw out that idiot, that's usually mixed in when you have nothing else to add to the debate. You're out of ideas.

But keep trying. One of these days you'll make it. Your ideas make about as much sense as Phil Bennett game management decisions.

The reason Orsini could not fire Bennett last year was the buy out money. And yes - other schools have done so with longer left on the contract - but we are not other schools - we have budget issues most do not.

he will do so this year - and i would guess before the end of the year so that he can show us and the recruits )and especailly the JUCO recruits) that things are changing in the football world.

We still have he best tailgate in Texas.
