Re: Coaching Candidates
Jeff Bower is a proven winner, recruited in south Louisiana for years, and would most likely jump at the chance to be our next head coach. I think he'd be a great hire.

Why would you disqualify Hudspeth? Just curious, because he was super successful at all levels. As a HC he was 66-21 at North Alabama so he fits that criteria. Just curious that's all. I know why folks don't want Coach O and JC Harper.

We'll be facing some excellent UNT teams in the future if that's the case.

Re: Coaching Candidates
Jeff Monken. I think this guy qualifies as the Bob Marlin of college football. Not too expensive, but one helluva coach. Plus, he coaches at Farmer's alma mater.

It works for Navy, Georgia Tech, and Air Force. Why can't it work here?

Rumor has it that he turned down that Job and that he's enjoying his non-coaching life.

If you can find the next Brian Mitchell. He's not on the roster. Those are the only examples in FBS football that the offense has had some success.

You look at Hudspeth and see passing game coordinator but he was an extremely successful head coach and took the job at Miss St to get a head coaching job in D1

Plus he built the program that Terry Bowden is living off of right now.The other thing I like is that he is seeing what it takes to build a program at Mississippi State.

Re: Coaching Candidates
Leavitt or hudspeth.
I'm sure there's plenty of other great one's, but these are my early choices!

I would still make him our best offer. What is everyone's take on Tommy Bowden? He had tremendous success at Tulane and while not dominant at Clemson they did consistently win. I'm not saying he's my top choice, but it is definitely something to consider. Wouldn't mind seing Leavitt either.

Re: Coaching Candidates
Hudspeth, Harper or Leavitt.
Orgeron would be so off the beaten path it isn't even funny. It would be hilarious to see him work with this school. Coming off the field after 3 and out under Rickey would be a whole lot different under Ed.
Rickey: (Hand to the helmet - pat, pat) "Good effort son... try to move only after the snap next time... I know you're sore... I'm sorry... get someone to towel your forehead and squirt some cold sweet Gatorade in your parched mouth. Your mom is really sweet and your dad is a pleasure to talk to. Just go on over and sit with your loyal and loving teammates... love you... you're such a sweet little guy."
Ed: (Hand to the helmet - Crack!) "Get off my bleeping field you big fat maggot! I should beat you like a bleeping bad habit you babified little momma's boy! Wake up! I didn't hit you that hard you little bleeping son of a bleep! Drag this tub of bleep out of my sight!" (In an incoherent accent of course)

With Orgeron you would need subtitles to understand interviews BUT he is intense and he would recruit extremely well. Why not have a Cajun coach the Cajuns?

I think I might like being off the beaten path for a change. I'm tired of this well worn path we've been on.

I think he would be somewhat too risky of a choice. Sure, he had success as a head coach for North Alabama, but they are div II and that is far from FBS. If we go for a coach that has head coaching experience, I think at least FCS is needed. Even in FCS though, there isn't anyone that really stands out being super successful.

Agreed, let's not embarrass the University like Ole Miss did by hiring Bebe.

I'm not completely behind the idea of Orgeron because of the limited success he had at Ole Miss and because of the lack of loyalty he showed the Saints by leaving after only a year (and Tennessee...basically, would he do it to us?), but I'd give him a chance if he were hired. I think that his recruiting ability would up our level of talent, and since we're not in the SEC chances are good that he could succeed with good players and, at worst, average coaching.
