Question for all ya'll (because I cannot keep arguing with Loof...he's relentless)

 

1. Who is a coach who you thought would be a huge success, but fell flat?

 

2. Who is a present up and coming coach that you think will turn into a huge success?

 

3. Who is a coach that you knew would suck, but everyone else was into for some reason?

 

Jim Harbaugh or Brohm at purdue 

2. Bill Freaking Clark

3. Jimbo Fisher.

The more I think about it, if we go after a defensive coach, the more I am liking the thought of Mel Tucker.

Moorhead

Heupel, Yurcich, Scott, Shane Beamer

You really thought Moorhead would have success at MSU? Man, I thought was such a strange hire- more “culturally” than football knowledge, but that’s a huge thing especially in the Deep South

Think about this.  Folks want to keep the defensive staff intact.  The likelihood of that happening with any coach other than Steele is probably very slim. 
 

Also consider that the only reason we were in the UF and LSU games was because of our defense.  Give me a defensive HC who has a vision for offense.

Looof's a top notch debater.  I'm glad we usually agree.  Also, nice little poll here, AUDevil.

Currently, Jim Harbaugh.  He still has time but MAN have they seemingly underachieved.

I'm warming up to Fleck, at MN.  Also, I like Klieman, at K-State.

Urban Meyer (as I've stated a few times).  Not because he's not a great coach & recruiter, because he is fantastic.   However, the first rivalry game he loses here and everyone will have to worry if he's going to get a hang-nail or stump his toe and need to retire again.....at least until the USCw or Notre Dame jobs open up.

I think Urban ends up with the Dallas Cowboys

Probably a great coach but it might be a hard sell to fire a coach with a winning record to hire one with a losing record.

If you want the best coach with the best resume, it’s Urban Meyer and no one else is close. A young guy with a great ‘starter’ resume is Matt Rhule. He’s rebuilt 2 programs from the bottom up in a short period of time. I’m personally of the belief that Kevin Steele would be a great choice. He’s a fabulous leader, would retain our defensive mojo, (and recruiting) and is smart enough/well connected enough to hire an excellent offensive staff.

I like Rhule. He’s had two of the toughest jobs in college football. I’d like to see what he could with our resources.

I am also impressed with that he has accomplished at Baylor. Another candidate I wouldn’t mind having

Anyone else surprised at how low Chip Kelley’s is?

And it feels like LSU is getting a steal right now at 4 mil with what Coach O is doing. More bang for your buck as it were.

I like Rhule. He’s had two of the toughest jobs in college football. I’d like to see what he could with our resources.

Hey @bigbird, this is the one guy I never see on your list. So, that leads me to believe you (coaching in Texas) have either heard or know something that gives you reservations about him. Care to elaborate?
