Potential Head Coach Hires

[Vespidae]

I don't agree at all. I'd prefer Leach above all, and I think he's a realistic choice.

Mike Leach's reputation is that he is an A-hole to work with. AD's hate him. But ... he wins.

I read good things about Ryan Day. He's young, talented and seemingly well-regarded at OSU.

Life is too short thinking that one must put up with this sort of toxic personality. In a country of 329 million, I have a hard time believing that there isn't a better all around person for the job than someone who is known to behave this way. We are preaching Total Person Program, or Everyday Champions in the latest variant. It should extend to the HC, as well.

When I think of Mike Leach, I think of Bobby Knight. Don't wanna deal with the baggage.

I’ve read most of this thread but not all so please forgive me if this has already been discussed. Does anyone have a feel for how much GT is willing to spend to get a new coach? I’m concerned that we will only have the money to hire “A” coach and not “THE” coach, if you catch my drift. Is the hire primarily dictated by the GTAA or does “The Hill” have the final say?

Really feel Satterfield would be our best option. Hope TStan can get out in front of this. He should be interviewing Satterfield this weekend and not Wisenhunt. Afraid Louisville will hire him quickly. Hope he does not screw this hire up.

I think he'll turn TStan down and stay in San Diego. He's an NFL through and through.

Honestly I think this whole Wisenhunt interview is Todd 'waving one hand and doing the magic trick with the other'. I believe it was definitely the request of a sizable portion of the donors and so out of courtesy, he is doing the interview. The fact that GT didn't reach out to the Chargers beforehand paired along with the logistics of this whole weekend (Todd has to be in Texas for the CFP committee, Wis has to be in Pitt for the game) make it hard for me to believe this is that legit.

Elliot is my top guy.
He fits the culture and his system would be easily transferable. He knows the area and is familiar with GT’s recruiting and recruiting restrictions. He also is aware of the advantages.

Tony Elliott
Geoff Collins
Scott Satterfield
Mel Tucker
Neal Brown
Seth Littrell
Luke Fickell

If Todd doesn't pick someone from this list the majority of the GT community will be disappointed. Am I right?

It's entirely possible that there's someone better that isn't on that list at all. I'm just a fan, but unless you play against or work with a coach (and even then), it's hard to tell how good they are.

I'd like someone who scares the coach on the other sideline. Some advice I've seen for hiring is "would you be scared for your competitor to hire this person"? CPJ checked that box. No one I've seen so far has checked that box for me.

How about Brent Key at Alabama. He is defensive line coach and is also a Tech man? Great recruiter and has been an assistant at UCF before going to Alabama.

I think you can add Josh Heupel and Mike Norvell to that list but yeah. Most of those guys would probably be acceptable to at least a slight majority of the fan base. Never gonna make everyone happy.

Mel Tucker is a major candidate for the Colorado head coaching job along with Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason and Oregon DC Jim Leavitt

If we are going to make big change in offense we need a strong defense while we rebuild to give our new offense a chance to win.

OL coach

Kentucky offensive line coach John Schlarman is a very good offensive line coach also

I saw someone post on a board (can’t rememebr which one) aand I believe it was someone close to the program or someone who knew someone close to the program, said we are in a really good position right now to hire a new coach. Not sure why that exactly means though lol.
