Timeline for New Hire and Who's your candidate?

[STEVEAUX UL 78]

Matt Viator is a good fit at McNeese....I would be disappointed if that would be our direction...

[Geaux]

Rod Broadway is my candidate. He should at least be considered. Defense wins games and he's a defensive guy. Our defense has been in the bottom of the conference for years. Before having heart problems this year, one of his defensive ends was projected to be a late first round pick.....from Grambling!

1.He was on the 1996 National Championship staff with Florida. He was under Bob Stoops(DC) and Steve Spurrier(HC).
2. He knows the Southern region well coming from North Carolina, Duke, Florida and Grambling. That really helps in recruiting. He has also proven himself being succesful at school with limited resources.
3. 7 years of successful head coaching experience
-2003-2006 @ North Carolina Central University
- 2007 - Present @ Grambling St.
- 2006 Eddie Rorinson Coach of the Year (Div. II)
- 2006 CIAA Coach of the Year
4. I have seen his interviews and he does not play around, he calls it like it is.
5. We can afford him and he makes the most limited resources

May not on the top of the short list, but definitely we should seriuosly consider him.

Well folks, one thing is for sure--Bustle is done. If Jay Bird is being allowed to speak about new coaches, it means the decision has been made. No way he would have made these posts without encouragement from above. The puppeteer pulls the strings, and the marionnette speaks. Book it.

Oooh you are cruel.

The way I read his post he was 80 to 90% against a new hire

_ ... Now with Viator as long as he does not bring his HS coaching staff he has at McNeese and is able to assemble a quality staff he would no doubt be an improvement over what we have now. ...

Who else would he bring? Other than mcneese his resume is all HS coaching. His staff is either filled primarily with assistants whose resumes consist mainly of experience at mcneese (players or coaches) or ULM. while his winning percentage at BBU is good his resume is not that impressive otherwise, IMO.

Brad Boyd!!!!! Oh cr@p, wrong thread...

Actually I said this last year and will stand by my decision if we have a chance at him and that is Ole Miss DC, Tyrone Nix.

Knows the area, played and coached at USM, also was a coach at South Carolina and now at Ole Miss.

Any thoughts?

_ #3, #6 and #7 are all holding out for a job in one of the big 6 conferences.
#8 will be the new head coach at North Texas, in all probability
#9 is interesting, but JU is non scholarship football
I have a betrter chance of being head coach than #4, #5 or #10.

That leaves #1 and #2 from your list. I have no idea if #1 would be interested. I would be willing to bet that #2 just might be interested.

This of course is just my opinion. I have absolutely no inside info. _

Coach from Boise State is an intresting choice I could live with. Young and could be the stepping stone to bigger things.

If the big names (Leavitt, Leach, Mangino, Bower) won't come, I think getting a successful head coach on the FCS level would be a smart move. They know how to succeed with no money. They have proven they are competent as a head coach.

http://www.georgiasoutherneagles.com...&Q_SEASON=2010 43 yrs old. (running guy) *my pick


http://sfajacks.cstv.com/sports/m-fo...rper_jc00.html 43 yrs old. (defensive guy) (has young hot shot O.C.)



If you don't want or can't get one of these guys, then you have to go to the co-ordinator route.

This is where it gets dicey. The really great ones are out of our price range. You're left with a gamble on a really young guy like Kingsbury at Houston(31 yrs old), or a really old guy(see Rickey Bustle)

Any conversation that doesn't begin and end with Jimmy McGinty, is a conversation that we don't need to be having.

I know he's kind of a jerk, but has anybody thought about Bud Kilmer?

[anhil8tor]

Gimme Mangino... I always wanted a fat coach that pushed his players...
