Regardless of who we get, we aren't going to steal recruits away from big BCS programs (LSU in particular) but we might be able to beat out lower level BCS/AQ teams and other regional mids (like Tech, USM, etc). That alone would give us a great boost in the SBC. We aren't far from being good now talent wise. So hopefully this new HC can get some frest talent and bring along a couple of up and coming coordinators to get the most out of our guys.
As bad is it feels right now, the right hire can reenergize our fan base and program. Hope we get this right! ..O..

Reconstituting this old thread isn't fair. It's like your buddy coming over to the house and showing your wife a bunch of pictures of you with your old girlfriends. "It ain't cheatin when it was before I knowed you".Quote:

I also described that if we get this kind of coach and he's successful... we are highly likely going to be in a serious uphill contest to keep him... and that is what I call a "luxurious problem".
does anyone remember when that guy named dave on sunday mornings on 1420 said a good source told him that orgeron called and said he would reduce his price to get the job? even jay walker had fun with that one on his show.Quote:

I just can't wait until we put this sad episode or series of episodes to rest and move on to a new coaching staff and new hope. It will be exciting at least for a couple of years, and who knows, maybe we will experience something we've never experienced in football before.

Joe DeForest - Could be a great coach, but hard to tell with his experience being mostly Spectial Teams. We can't mess this up, so I wouldn't take the chance.
Gary Crowton - He's ready to leave LSU, We made that mistake before, no thanks. Really though, He has good exp as a head coach, but seems to have 1 good year then leaves.
Mark Hudspeth - The most likely to get the job, if he interviews well and has a plan that includes hiring good coordinators. My top choice.
Gunner Brewer - My second choice, mainly because he has worked under an excellent program with good coaches, and has good coordinator experience. Might be an up and coming type coach.
I believe I stated that the new coach must have a smoking hot wife !!! Thankfully Scott took my advice to heart. :D
