Meanwhile OU's last 2 hires were coaches with no HC experience, and that worked out pretty well.  Ohio State.  Clemson.

HC experience is overrated, IMO. 

I don't disagree that HC experience is somewhat overrated but let's keep some context around those citations. Ohio State elevated someone already on the staff of a program operating at its peak. OU did the same with Lincoln Riley. And Dabo Swinney was a battlefield promotion, initially-- good for them that they stuck with him long enough to build them into what they've become. Stoops is your best example but that was 22 years ago now. 

On top of that, who really knows? We would all have been just fine with Mack retiring in January 2010 and handing the reins to Will Muschamp.

I think we're a significant rebuilding job, not in the sense of "we're 1-10 and have 1-10 talent" but in the sense of, recruiting is short-term fucked, the talent on the roster is Charmin soft and spoiled, and this program's culture is absolute shit. We've come full circle to 1997 (although regrettably there's no analog to Ricky Williams on the roster).

Day and Riley were handed programs running at a high level. So half of your examples are not applicable to the actual job at hand. 

Perhaps, but 4 years in they both seem to have not had a drop off at their respective programs. And both have winning records against their rivals, and conference titles. That ain’t bad.

[clapclapclap 9000]

So a couple of Thursday ago Urban made a call to UF and figured out that if Dan Mulligan is offloaded to Texas they'd be willing to rehire UM?  190 miles from Siesta Key.

May or may not have happened.

That would be a hell of a choice to make.  Firing a guy with a winning record and replacing him with a coordinator who has never been a head coach at any level.

*I should add that I don't think its a bad choice - just not what would usually be expected.

It'd be out of character for sure.

Those last three conference records show that Harsin knows how to be the big fish in a little pond. He may not know how to win championships but we have to move away from Herman.

Unless I read that wrong, Harsin won or shared the conference championship in every year he was a head coach aside from one.  That would be a nice change of pace around here.

Not one this year other than UM. Harsin in the same boat with about 5-10 other “prospects”. Yes, better than Herman, just not enough to where they’d turn Texas around instantly like UM would.

Keep Herman, give him and his coordinators a full offseason to get it together and start your vetting process now for his replacement next year in case we stumble again.  No Covid excuse, smaller buyout = easier firing. 

Negged for in case they stumble? In addition to worries of buyout size.

Because Herman wouldn’t let his senior QB go for 2 and win during regulation.  Sam probably would have scored but even if he didn’t, he earned the right to go for the win.  Fuck Herman

Because from the outside looking in it appears that unless Urban Meyer changes his mind, Tom Herman will be the coach next year.

His son was a decent poster and the creator of one of the funniest fucking things I’ve ever followed on the Internet. 

In fact, there was a point in this thread in which someone had a buddy at the Horseshoe Bay airport tracking a plane from Columbus. He snapped a photo of the passenger and sent it in and the poster posted it. It was a fucking Property Brother. When I saw that, I laughed out loud because it reminded of when, somehow, Louie Anderson entered the fucking Ponzi Scheme Involving Gold thread. Outstanding shit in both threads. 

@closetojumping

I should probably disclose that I don't go to or near airports.  Maddenbus only.  And refuse to be buddies with plane trackers and curtain analyzers.  Too many liars, trolls, scalawags, and catfishers. 

Also, that pic of the Property Brother may or may not have happened recently.

It doesn’t matter what coach gets suggested, someone’s gunna have a problem with some aspect(s) of hiring them. Maybe it’s warranted, but other than Urban, we might have to hold our noses a bit and let it play out. A lot of us ain’t know shit about how some of these guys would work out.

Most on this board knew Watson and Beck were not going to work and the new coaches had stumbled out of the gates with their hires. There is a difference between warts and guys that would fail here. I put Cristobal on my list of folks that would fail.

I didn’t know if Watson or Beck would work. But the optics suggested they were both lazy hires.

There are going to be obvious bad choices, but just about every gotdamn option under the sun has been mentioned on this thread or that one, and every damn one of them have been met with multiple “no” and reasons whys. Not sure if I wasn’t clear enough.

[Bevo&Pevo 5209]

I'd go all in for Urban or Eric Bieniemy, the OC for KC Chiefs.    It won't be long before the NFL makes Eric a HC, unless we got to him first.  However, about anyone or anything would be better than TH.

Our family has always cubes a couple of small potatoes into chili.  Dad says it helps with the indigestion.  I'm not sure about that but it adds a bit to the taste.  Of course there is onions and bell pepper.

Especially after watching Gators lose at home to a bad LSU team last night.

I mean, the only P5 head coaches without a dumb loss this year are....Saban/Meyer/Day/Fitzgerald/Dabo/Kelly/Jimbo/Helton? And they've all got dumb losses at point or another. And they've all been debated at one point or another. I think judging coaching candidates on one bad loss is gonna leave a bunch of y'all disappointed with whomever the new hire might be.

(Multiple dumb losses is a different story, and yes, I'm looking at you Tom).

[Octavian 1025]

@closetojumping I think you mentioned that you heard that the push for Meyer was not 100% dead right? Or is it now the case that Meyer would need to be the one to come back and say he reconsidered as the administration/donors have moved on to other candidates?

Yeah, I am texting one of my best friends that is an Auburn grad about how jealous I was that his school could actually fire an underperforming coach without talking about it for 2 months.  He asked what we were doing and if we were really keeping Herman.  I just told him we were being Texas.

Bieniemy had some success as the vikings RB coach with Adrian Peterson. Now he has success as Chiefs OC with Mahommes and Andy Reid calling plays. I'm gonna take a hard pass on that one.

Not sure if a hispanic or mexican deal, but have had it that way a few different places. One friend’s mother simply called it “con papas.” Some picadillos are similar.

Some are more just hamburger meat soupy, some more like chili, just depends on who makes it.

Whatcha say is true....some success.  My thinking is he knows the dynamics of the college game and recruiting.  Worked with twice now with Reid and should have learned something.  Probably could be signed on without breaking the bank.
