2010 Football Coaching Candidates

[BirdofParadise]

_ Hudspeth is making $190K at Miss St. I think he would come for $400K.

Dana Holgorson might not since he is making $260K at Ok State. _

Holgorson got a raise. He's around 350 now

The numbers I used was his 2010 contract, but you are correct. It was recently reworked for to a 3 year deal for $360K matching Joe Deforest as the highest paid assistant on the OSU staff.

_ _ Dana Holgorson - offensive coordinator OK St. - only if Gunter Brewer comes as OC(the Man behind the OSU Offensive Curtain)He is the man be hind the offense, he did it at Houston and now at Ok St. I don't know where you get that Brewer is the man.

I respectfully disagree.

"Ty Willingham"


With this, I also respectfully disagree.

_ I would love. To have Mike Shula, Tyrone Willingham, Mike Leach & Sly Croon. Ty Willingham & Leach would be my top choice. What do you think

I think any coach that is interested should be given serious consideration. But the interest must be there for a discussion to take place.

We should be paying a minimum of $400K plus incentives for a good head coach. That would peak interest from these kind of candidates. I hope the RCAF can handle that, otherwise look for a low budget hire and we will get what we pay for. I don't think (hope) that won't happen this time.

Wrong. The only way to win long term is to start out with a low budget winner.

I respectfully disagree. I think we need someone who understands what it takes to be a big time program and how we will get there. Hiring someone from another low budget program will only likely serve to perpetuate the low level of football we have always had here. It is not like Ohio State picking a 1AA coach from Youngstown State (Tressel). OSU had the money and the program in place to win. UL does not have either. Let's commit to doing this right for a change. I am tired of second class citizenry in sports.

And I respectfully disagree with the first part of your post. We tried the assistant from a big name program. A guy who came in here after coaching Mike Vick to an almost NC. I loved the hire of RB back then. But in retrospect I think those types of guys are used to big budgets and we present a shock to what they are used to. My preference would be a guy from a lower level program looking for his first HC job as a stepping stone.

As to the commit part I agree. Paying $400k to get an up and comer is what we need to do and then continue the commitment to better facilities. I think we HAVE to show the candidates that we are serious about a first class mid major program

And I too am tired of second class citizenry......

For some reason I am getting optimistic that we are headed in the right direction finally

"And how we get there"

If the guy you propose has built a program I am with you .
