Resetting expectations and a new candidate board...

[msudogsrule]

I took the evening to calm myself, and I have been thinking about what the job board would look like now, ignoring Cohen's comments altogether. Please send me guys to add if I missed some.

I was perfectly fine with Minge in the days and weeks right after Cannizaro was fired, but after seeing them not making the tournament with a roster that had more guys drafted than anyone else in the country, I’ve cooled on him big time.

 

[msudogsrule]

Good picks. Added them, removed Godwin. I am not adding Mingione for now, as I don't believe he is in the running at all right now.

Tadlock stands out in that group. Presumably the hardest pull, but that would be outstanding.

 

[Bucksnort_Dawg]

Just looking at Robichaux’s numbers. He knows how to win at small schools. Why has he not gotten more talk? I know he’s not necessarily “elite”, but I don’t think he would be a disappointing hire at this point. Am I missing something?

 

[msudogsrule]

I was also told that Corbin is still a possibility, so I added him. I know there is talk that he has an extension, but the belief is that he hasn't signed anything.

 

[8dog]

He would be a disaster

I have to say that hiring a guy over 55 is a bit concerning. You have to ask how much fuel is left in tank. Do we want to be doing this again in 5 years?

And how old is Nick Saban? How old was he when he assumed the position at BAMA. Pretty comparable.

 

[patdog]

Wrong on a few counts. First, at 55, a coach would probably have 10-15 years left. That's an eternity in sports. Second, even if you were right, if they're 5 good years, that would be great. You hire the best coach you can, whether he's 30 or 60.

 

[patdog]

Saban turned 56 during his first season at Alabama.

 

[goodknight]

Rumor coach up north!

 

[She Mate Me]

Is Purdue's coach not a prospect?

 

[HumpDawgy]

Most younger coaches are more aggressive on the recruiting trail. Older coaches tend to delegate that out to their assistants. I want all of our coaches (even the HC) to be aggressive in recruiting. Older coaches tend to fall back on being great teachers and game managers. That's obviously great, but we have disadvantages in our state with schollys, so we need aggressive recruiters more I believe. Of course with younger coaches you have more of a chance for them to have the "Cann Syndrome".

Wasikowski added.

 

[dannyripms]

you know what, I say screw it and hire Andy back. I think he learned his lesson. Dude was a good coach while here and everyone needs a second chance. I wouldn't be mad one bit if that happened. Obviously I know it won't but i wouldn't be mad and don't lie and say you would either.

My only comment about this is, I am so glad that it is John Cohen, and not our fans, who will make the hire.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Heard this guy is possibly interested if he can complete the sell of those whitewalls on the other line.

He’s too old. Won’t be able to relate to recruits. Probably has an old school offense that won’t work either.
