General coaching hire discussion (your random tossed out name is probably merged here)

[DyeHardAllTheWay 0]

If the new coach still has a bowl game to coach could it be we don't know who it is until after that game? Could it be we still guessing in two weeks waiting for announcements after each bowl game?

No. Whoever hired will almost assuredly have to accept before a bowl game.

What's the latest you've heard about it, Ellitor?

I think Colorado is better job than Cincy. It is in a much better conference and they have won a NC in the last 25 years. The Big East might lose it's auto BCS as well.

I doubt it. Just as NC State hired Doeren who still has a bowl game left, we will likely come to terms with our nxt coach sooner than later. God if we don't....SMH!

Colorado is a long way removed from those days. They suck. Over the past decade if they played heads up, I think Cincy would have won about 80% of the time.

Do I still have time to scratch Bo Pelini off my list?

He may be available after tonight! They are getting hammered!!

I mean fanny stomped! Wisky will score 100 if they get the chance.

They have 524 rushing yards with 8min to go. Most allowed ever by Nebraska.

Good grief. That is kind of embarrassing. Of course those in glass houses.......

Sounds eerily familiar

I think what Montana is talking about with Colorado is potential for the program under a new guy as opposed to current state of the program.

[ausoldiergrad 57]

Obviously, but I don't think there is any money there, and I don't think there is a significant fan base. They play a tougher schedule than Cincy, and have less momentum.

What about Stone Cold Steve Austin OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Bingo....

With a name like Butch, he has to be good! Maybe we can rename him if he comes to Auburn.....maybe butcher knife!

When did Ky. hire Mark Stoops? This one went under the radar big time. Which of the Stoops boys coached at Arizona before Rich-Rod?

It's likely interviews and official contact start tomorrow with an expected decision date now of Tuesday or Wednesday.

Here are some 'outside the box' suggestions. Kind of like the Roman idea.

I like Roman too. I can do without the others.

I don't have any faith that he'll be interviewed or considered though. shame

Not sure where you get this feeling from. Our last search only lasted 10 days.

I hate to put another coaching thread out there but with Stoops going to Kentucky and, if the rumors are true, peterson going to Arkansas we are falling behind. I'm not saying the sky is falling but both of these programs are beneath us. I know that sounds elitist but it's true. I want to get the right coach but with us and UT left in the SEC looking for coaches it is making me nervous especially when JJ is doing the hiring. What do you think?
