GTFO with Fleck, he blows. He has been worse than his predecessors and is a self promoting dirt bag. Chadwell on the other hand would be a great fit.

Gus coached in the hardest conference, toughest division, played second fiddle in the state and still could recruit and win.
His connections are deep and so is the recruiting in the South. He would be the best coach in the Big Ten W the first day he signed his contract and he would possibly be the best coach in the Big Ten as well.
Plus, he knows and understands pressure.
Jamey Chadwell's resume
4 conference championships. The NCAA took one away.
44 years of age.
Run-based offense.

Seems like the top of the list names should be:
In no order - Jamey Chadwell, Gus Malzahn, Hugh Freeze, Lance Leipold, Jeff Monken, Matt Campbell

Reasons why I didn't include Chris Kleiman, the KSU head coach
- poor recruiter
- had a winning season his first year at Kansas State and then went south last season for results.
- loses to Scott Frost on the recruiting trail
If He has a winning season at KSU this season then I think he could be someone to look at, but I can't see Chris being a better candidate than the guy at Coastal Carolina or Gus Malzahn.

Let's say Frost loses to Oklahoma obviously, and buffalo, and we are at one and three going into the conference schedule. Maybe Trev pulls the plug and makes Chinander the interim head coach to finish out the season. There's a market difference in the performance of the team and some personnel decisions he makes. I don't think everyone loves the idea, but maybe it's the right one. I really hate blowing up the staff every 4 years
Fleck is still at Minnesota because his wife told him she's tired of moving around. They are making plenty of bank, expectations are low and their kids get to have some permanence with regard to school which was a big deal to her. I'm sure he'll leave down the road, but I think he's still there for another 5 years minimum assuming he's getting it done
Didn't want to start a thread since we already know Frost is bad.

Thank you!
People just don't seem to get it. Making crazy bank at a job with no expectations is a dream for these guys.
So if you are making X dollars at Minny, where you can basically go .500, why leave?
Some jobs are dream jobs because there are no expectations.
Any coach that isn't desperate as hell won't come here.
We have proven we are a graveyard for college football coaches over the last 20 years. Careers get ended here.
People are bringing up ridiculous names. Frost was our Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was our last hope.
Does anybody really believe #6 after Osborne will be the right one? At best, we can maybe get a MAC coach that has won a few games. Then again, he would have better offers that aren't career-enders.

Add Billy Napier and it sounds good to me. These guys can all be had with the exception of Campbell.
None of the names I'm listing are ridiculous. The Coastal Carolina guy makes $850k/year. Pay the guy $4M and it doesn't become a choice, it becomes "so, where do I sign?"
Gus - do you want to coach at the P5 level again? Ok.
The Iowa State head coach is the only one that isn't realistic.
Freeze isn't likely to ever get rehired back into the SEC so he will need to take a P5 job in another conference. He guy can flat out coach and he is at fricken Liberty.
I added Billy Napier.
If you called Gus and asked him if he wanted the Nebraska job, you offer him the job and don't second guess it. From a resume perspective, I doubt you could get anyone better than that.
Please don't waste time on any NFL guy with zero recruiting ties and no proven college head coaching success.

Coastal Carolina guy will have as good or better offers and the expectations won't be through the roof. He could go elsewhere in which the pressure of winning 10 games wouldn't be imperative for his long term stay.
Would you take a $4M a year job for 4 years, or a $3M a year job for at least 10 years?
Careers got ended but they put HUGE amounts of money in the bank for their troubles. Somebody would take the job. The question is do you start over or do you make Frost give up play calling and hire a new OC. Can Verdusco tomorrow IMO. It ain't working.
Coaches aren’t built like that. They aren’t looking for security, they are looking to win big. They are all cocky and think they are the best, they aren’t thinking about what happens if they don’t win.
Gus Malazan is not the guy you want. He is an average coach at best. You may need to consider some assistant coaches.
A job needs to be available though. What jobs could open up in the Big Ten? Nebraska, Michigan and Purdue are probably the only ones in the Big Ten. Michigan will go after the Iowa State head coach or Cincy head coach.
I expect Marcus Freeman to be the next head coach at Notre Dame and Wisconsin's DC will be their next head caoch.
****, I'll take the job for $1.5M a year. I'll give Husker fans a tax break out of the generosity of my heart.
I post on a message board and have been a fan for over 40 years and played football in college, so I'm deftly qualified.
No doubt somebody will get hired. May be time for us to take a shot at a nobody and give them a huge amount of rope like we did with the Bobfather.
I’d say our expectations are now quite low. Hell, make a bowl game and you’d get a statue next to TO.
That sadly made me truly laugh out loud.
So painful that we are left to merely laughing now. We are Kansas State pre-Bill Snyder.
I'm going to keep his name off. Nothing against your post or anything like that. He will take a different job. I want to try and keep the list as realistic as possible.
You could get Leipold. I'd about guarantee he'd have a pretty good team on the field most of the time and he would want to be here. This would be his last and best job. He's proven he knows how to run a program.
frost has to go, it's been 4 years and the qb and play calling is horrid at best. I'd say let him go this week, on friday evening... Chinander takes over, till we find a new coach....unless he can call a game and recruit a qb
it's like a recording of the same bs with frost, he don't fix nothing, martinez passing, turnovers, special teams, dumb plays. abandons the run game ........complete fail
