I wonder what percentage of this board supports a Bowden hire. Wish we could do a vote.

Anybody think it could be Kirk Frentz from Iowa? Fits the unexpected and pissed fans catagory.

I just hope it is not Chan Gailey....

What about Tommy as the Head Coach and Terry as his OC? [deleted]!

I thought about him. He was with the Ravens when Orsini was at Navy. That's the only parallel I could find.

He's making about $2.8 million with another avg. team. But given his name always been rumored to go back to the NFL, I thought he would do that instead of another college job.

He does recruit Texas fairly decently.

Thats what I was Dreaming too. Tommy comes here for 2 years, then goes and takes over for daddy and Terry takes over here......

[quote="Cadillac"]Why didn't they run this by Biggin before they went to press?

-CoS[/quote].................I agree, the Biggin should have been notified. As Biggin said, " What the hell is gong on ???

by **Dwan** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 4:50 pm

I guess I think it could be Frentz becasue Orsini is friends with Terry Bowden. Would Tommy take a job that Terry did not want? Would Orsini hire Tommy over Terry? Who names their kids Tommy and Terry?

If you take all BCS and Ind. Coaches and eliminate first year coaches (which I find almost improbable that they would leave), you have this list:

1. Al Groh Virginia
2. Bill Callahan Nebraska
3. Bill Doba Wash. St.
4. Bob Stoops Oklahoma
5. Bobby Bowden Florida St.
6. Bobby Johnson Vanderbilt
7. Bret Bielema Wisconsin
8. Brian Kelly Cincinnati
9. Chan Gailey Ga. Tech
10. Charlie Weis Notre Dame
11. Dan Hawkins Colorado
12. Dave Wannstedt Pitt
13. Dennis Franchione Texas A&M
14. Ed Orgeron Ole Miss
15. Frank Beamer Virginia Tech
16. Gary Pinkel Missouri
17. Greg Robinson Syracuse
18. Greg Schiano Rutgers
19. Guy Morriss Baylor
20. Houston Nutt Arkansas
21. Jeff Tedford California
22. Jim Grobe Wake Forest
23. Jim Leavitt South Florida
24. Jim Tressel Ohio St.
25. Joe Paterno Penn St.
26. Joe Tiller Purdue
27. Karl Dorrell UCLA
28. Kirk Ferentz Iowa
29. Les Miles LSU
30. Lloyd Carr Michigan
31. Mack Brown Texas
32. Mark Mangino Kansas
33. Mark Richt Georgia
34. Mike Bellotti Oregon
35. Mike Gundy Oklahoma St.
36. Mike Leach Texas Tech
37. Mike Riley Oregon St.
38. Mike Stoops Arizona
39. Pat Fitzgerald Northwestern
40. Paul Johnson Navy
41. Pete Carroll USC
42. Phillip Fulmer Tennessee
43. Ralph Friedgen Maryland
44. Randy Edsall Connecticut
45. Rich Brooks Kentucky
46. Rich Rodriguez W. Virginia
47. Ron Prince Kansas St.
48. Ron Zook Illinois
49. Steve Spurrier S. Carolina
50. Sylvester Croom Miss. St.
51. Ted Roof Duke
52. Tommy Bowden Clemson
53. Tommy Tuberville Auburn
54. Ty Willingham Washington
55. Urban Meyer Florida

I think you can 100% eliminate the following because they (i) suck; (ii) really don't suck; or (iii) just not going to happen:

1. Al Groh Virginia
2. Bob Stoops Oklahoma
3. Bobby Bowden Florida St.
4. Bobby Johnson Vanderbilt
5. Bret Bielema Wisconsin
6. Brian Kelly Cincinnati
7. Charlie Weis Notre Dame
8. Dave Wannstedt Pitt
9. Ed Orgeron Ole Miss
10. Frank Beamer Virginia Tech
11. Gary Pinkel Missouri
12. Greg Robinson Syracuse
13. Greg Schiano Rutgers
14. Guy Morriss Baylor
15. Jeff Tedford California
16. Jim Leavitt South Florida
17. Jim Tressel Ohio St.
18. Joe Paterno Penn St.
19. Les Miles LSU
20. Lloyd Carr Michigan
21. Mack Brown Texas
22. Mark Mangino Kansas
23. Mark Richt Georgia
24. Mike Bellotti Oregon
25. Mike Gundy Oklahoma St.
26. Mike Leach Texas Tech
27. Mike Stoops Arizona
28. Pat Fitzgerald Northwestern
29. Pete Carroll USC
30. Rich Brooks Kentucky
31. Rich Rodriguez W. Virginia
32. Ron Prince Kansas St.
33. Ron Zook Illinois
34. Steve Spurrier S. Carolina
35. Ted Roof Duke
36. Tommy Tuberville Auburn
37. Urban Meyer Florida

That leaves you with (and even some of these (i) suck; or (ii) just not going to happen):

1. Bill Callahan Nebraska
2. Bill Doba Wash. St.
3. Chan Gailey Ga. Tech
4. Dan Hawkins Colorado
5. Dennis Franchione Texas A&M
6. Jim Grobe Wake Forest
7. Joe Tiller Purdue
8. Karl Dorrell UCLA
9. Kirk Ferentz Iowa
10. Houston Nutt Arkansas
11. Mike Riley Oregon St.
12. Paul Johnson Navy
13. Phillip Fulmer Tennessee
14. Ralph Friedgen Maryland
15. Sylvester Croom Miss. St.
16. Tommy Bowden Clemson

That was my thought about Fran. I don't think Nutt is as "Obvious"

Boy, speculation is a hell of a lot of fun.
