We didn't do a search you dolt. It's not the fan's job to come up with candidates and certainly not salaries. And we certainly have no verification that the $750,000 was the tops of where we could spend and you haven't verified that anyhow. However, Bronco Mendenhall who has been a very successful coach, just got hired by New Mexico. If we couldn't go find someone like that who is making about $1 million per year when we are ranked and have one of the nation's longest winning streaks at that time then I don't know what to tell you. But you keep making up excuses for an administration that didn't even do a national search and a situation you literally know little about.
2 years at New Mexico st he got them in a bowl game for the first time in their history last year and won 10 games for the first time in the history of the program. We talking about New Mexico st in a state with absolutely no high school talent in just his 2nd year beat Auburn and won 10. Believe what you want.
. . . so now we believe in the ULM/Bowden type of program . . . would have hated to see this board with a hire like that and a 6 and 6 initial season . . . and that is assume we would not have had even more defections in year one and no indication how such a coach would recruit in Louisiana . . .
The next promotion in Mike's career after Napier left was to be a real coordinator at a fbs program. No other fbs program would have him considered him as a head coach at that stage. The most important aspect to being a head coach is the staff you can bring to a job. The hiring of the defensive coordinator was a sign that he had a limited network of coaches to draw upon. There are only 130 fbs head coaching jobs in the country, much fewer ones where the team has been in the top 25 the past 2 years. The hiring of Mike(no fault of his to accept the job) was an incredibly lazy hire by the administration.
So mikes natural next step was a coordinator and Morgan’s wasn’t? Morgan coached at ULM, UL, Houston and 2 stints at Vanderbilt…under some of the best defensive minds in the country including Jesse minter and bob shoop. Napier coached at bama twice, Clemson, ASU and CSU and all his DC’s have come from SLU…still at Florida he is using SLU DC’s.
. . . so didn’t Mike coach 4 years under a top 25 coach . . .
Napier didn't hire Morgan as a DC because he wasn't qualified or ready to be a DC yet. HUGE difference between a good position coach and a qualified DC coach. Morgan isn't disqualified because he knows Morgan, but he was hired because Mike doesn't have many connections.
