Realistic coaching options for 2025...

[ASUTodd]

If Brown truly is holding out for another job and making us wait....then he will never be accepted here. If DG has that knowledge he should be telling him to hit the road. That's just plain ridiculous.

[yosef69]

I do not.

I would imagine there have been small talks in the last 72 hours with at least a dozen or agents of a dozen.

4 that I know of for sure -- always multiple it by 3. Neal Brown is probably less than 20% at this point, If SMU wins how much can Casey get by beating Clemson, 2million a year as OC, he probably stays at SMU.

So now this is where the search pivots and all I have been saying previously comes into play.

Just remember #TEAMCLARK beat Curt Cignetti, Jamey Chadwell, Jimbo Fisher, Billy Napier, 1 dropped extra point from beating Mack Brown.... just saying - the expectations for the new guy is through the roof!

I don't remember any goals stated as beating certain coaches. The goal is to win championships and compete for a CFP bid. Any self respecting potential coach would look at the top program in the conference and think "surely I can do better than 10th / 11th in the conference".

This is your opinion, not those that are in the coaching circles. My friends the game has changed.

One day I will figure out your true allegiance. Because it isn’t app.

What's the movie where the old detective says "just the facts ma'am".

That's me. I report facts -- Love Boone, the people, the football excitement -- BUT I am a realist and truth teller.

You might have a source. But that source is extremely one sided and you do not care to ascertain all of the facts before you come running to YC to run your mouth. You didn’t get enough head pats as a child so now you pretend you are well connected and knowledgeable so you can get head pats on the cabin.

At this point I'm thinking it is, and somewhat pulling for Woods given all the other names that have come out on here. I think he has a good chance of being a good HC.

I like Woods too. I know a lot like DJ Smith, but if we go with Woods, he will be here for a few years and get plucked away. That will give DJ Smith a few more years of experience, then he comes home.

[B&G]

Can anyone confirm that Cronic is interested? I really like Cronic.

Cronic did not want to be a HC again so soon. But he also didn’t expect this opportunity. So while there is interest I think he is happy where he’s at.

Not sure Lonnie Galloway or Dowell Loggains are names that will excite the fan base...or the team for that matter. Lots of speculation going on about who is being interviewed, contacted, considered, etc. I honestly don't recall Drinkwitz being mentioned much before he was announced as the hire. Just wondering if it will be someone that nobody has even mentioned yet.

Isn't everyone on here running their mouth.....

the way it always works. Go back to my post earlier in the week. DG will get to his 5th or 6th choice and say "we got our guy"

no DG you settled for your guy.

We will see if that is case this time. My question is how many schools get their very top name and don't have to offer more than one person?

[BTK2000]

Sources have told me Neal Brown has been offered and than he has to accept today or they are moving to another choice

[t4pizza]

It seems as if our job opening is less attractive than it was 5-6 years ago. For plenty of reasons: NIL, lack of money for TP, high expectations, a not so good football team…etc.


Did we have guys chomping at the bit to take the gig 6 years ago when we went with Drink? Or 5 years ago when we went with Clark?

Not sure it is any less attractive than it was 5-6 years ago. Drink was at least our 3rd choice and we know that Clark was just a reaction to having to hire a 2nd coach in 2 years. I really don't think that we had anybody chomping at the bit back then. Sure people are interested, but that interest seems to fade when the realities of pay come into focus. Truly baffles me as I think we are the premier G5, but I guess I just have black and gold colored glasses on.

His source is the coaches’ wives wine club.

Reads a tweet on twitter then cites it as "sources"

[T-Dog]

Buckle up

[BTK2000]

Eh Friend who got the info from the same source as the tweet most likely.

Edit: actually someone that’s behind one of the accounts

[yosef69]

Buckle up

Please god tell me it’s not LG

[hapapp]

I'm not liking the sound of what folks are hinting at. Are we hiring someone to make us sorry we let Clark go?

[appvette]

I do not.

What programs are above App in the SBC, and by what metrics?

[Yosef10]

Some of you guys getting bent out of shape about rumors on a board. There haven’t been many hires Gillin has made where anyone has been able to say with any certainty beforehand who it is gonna be. I don’t see this one being any different. R E L A X

It certainly looks that way
