Barnacle 9,064 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 A lot of good candidates out there, but its a question of who will actually be interested in the job. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot-pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 16,624 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 wow perception changed for baylor pretty quick. seemed like folks thought they were just all american kids with rg3 and now look. and if art is quilty of things i bet he still lands another decent paying job. and i am not sure that i agree with that.

Strychnine 1,800 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I think Baylor would be wise to avoid hiring anyone that has worked with Briles previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,784 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 That article leans to the overly simplistic "because Baylor recently had terrific offenses they'll go for an OC". Even if that fits their current roster talent, they're staring in the face of Bama/ Miami/Penn State - level legal issues and for a nouveau riche program (zero winning tradition pre 2010) - but tons of money - a savvy, aging, squeeky clean image coach with administrative skills makes sense during the next 3 -4 years of damage control. One that might land Mr. Monds right in our lap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strychnine 1,800 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Did no one see the #5 guy? Indeed. Lashlee could be a good fit as far as coming in and understanding their offense, but would he want to risk making the jump to that place right now? Would he leave Gus in the position of having to replace him after spring ball instead of the normal offseason turnover time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he leave Gus in the position of having to replace him after spring ball instead of the normal offseason turnover time? Lashlee has always wanted a bigger job, he didn't want to start out at a small school. This would be an opportunity for him and he would also probably get a longer pass due to whatever the NCAA might do to Baylor than he would at another big job. I also don't see Lashlee getting any kind of big opportunity to be a HC at a bigger school like he wants anytime soon. If he did leave I think u would see Hand promoted to OC and Gus would work with the QBs. Wouldn't put us in too much of a bind if it did happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,064 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Did no one see the #5 guy? I just can't believe they would hire Rhett. Rhett would be a better candidate for some of the schools the other coaches mentioned would be leaving, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't put us in too much of a bind if it did happen Strictly related to football, Baylor is probably the best situation he could come into as a new head coach at a major program, primarily since Briles didn't get fired for lack of on-field results. That said, if you're Baylor, do you want such a young and inexperienced coach coming in to navigate your program through this debacle? At this point, you would think the program's top priority would be ensuring that recruits stay committed, and players do not transfer out. I would expect them to focus immediately on coaches with Texas connections, not a coach that has spent his entire coaching career in Alabama.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 LOL, we can only hope Baylor will steal Lashlee away. Seriously, given Baylor's situation, someone like Lashlee or one of the other assistants mentioned will be the best Baylor can hope for. There is no way Herman will even consider that job, IMO. Heck, with another good year in 2016 at Houston and if teams like Texas A&M, Texas and AU continue to struggle, Herman can take his pick. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus & CDC will not be working together again anytime soon. If we can't do well this year, I kind of hope USCe does (even if it's not probable). If we were to get CWM as our next coach, CDC might come back then. Of course, if we need a new coach, Herman has got to be the dream candidate.

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 What about a trade? They get Lashlee and we get Kendal Briles. Bio for those interested. OC, passing game coordinator, and QB coach at Baylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,801 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 LOL it's easier to win at UF than anywhere else in the conference essentially and CWM couldn't cut it even though the SEC East has been terrible lately. Why people, and South Carolina for that matter, are so high on CWM as a HC I just don't see it. Hiring Muschamp would basically be like the Chizik hire all over again. Losing track record as HC, but top of the line DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
