like who? Dennis Green? Jim Mora Jr? Gilbride? Glanville? They all suck. Tell me an ex NFL coach we would want? (and spare me the Switzer/Parcells/Cowher nonsense)

Maybe some more current names from what I am told. I can't honestly tell you 100% fact, but the info comes from a prominant donor...who also has already contributed to the coaching fund.

Maybe we will play without coaches next year.


We tried that this year :wink:

Anyone know who are the former NFL head coaches who were once successful Div. 1 head coaches? I guess Orseni would have some knowledge of NFL coaches based on his history with the cowboys.

UNC did that last year when they fired Bunting and hired Davis before the end of the season.

After my conversation with Orsini on Saturday, I believe Steve already has his man and that it's someone currently coaching.

It sounds, from what I have read on this board and heard on the boulevard from folks who have talked with the powers that be, like we may be looking seriously at Franchione.
