Timeline for New Hire and Who's your candidate?

[CajunNation]

Mike Leech would be expensive, but worth it. Also, as good of a coach that he is I couldn't imagine any FBS schools wanting to take a chance on him following his controversial departure from Texas Tech. I think he'd be a great fit.

You can add Mark Mangino to that least as well.

2 coaches with deadly offenses and great resume's who would put us on the map nationally immediately.

We're not hiring boy scouts here.

I would think the frontline candidates would be these former, highly sucessful head coaches:

Mike Leach
Mark Mangino
Jeff Bower

I don't know if we could afford them, but I would sure as heck try.

[KajunKrazy]

I don't think we need a new coach I think the current coach is doing just fine.

No way we could afford Mike Leach but if it would happen, I'd build him a pirate ship to put near the tunnel.

Jim Leavitt from South Florida. Got fired on a bull$h|t charge. Probably the best young HC out there.

Not arguing with anything you said except he's not that young. He'll be 54 next month.

John Richards. Dude can coach, man.

54 is the new 30!

I'd take Jim Leavitt anyday. If I recall, he was a fiery guy at USF, a Bill Cowher type. I like that intensity during game day. As a former player, I would prefer to play for a fired up head coach.

_ If I could have anyone, monetary concerns are no issue, give me Mike Leach.

He's a winner and he is an a-hole.

We've tried nice. Give me an a-hole.

I know Aaron Spikes would LOVE that decision

Guys like Leach and Mangino would either change the culture at UL or lose their minds if they coached here. It would be interesting to see what would happen.

54 is EXTREMELY young, Jay.
