Remember next season 3 of our 4 out of conference games are EMU and Lion gumbo over a scoop of Rice. As well as Florida state which is winnable. SLU will be without Cole Kelly. So we have a chance to go 4-0 out of conference and as of right now we are not scheduled to face app state. Now allot can change between now and then but I feel confident about our chances for another special season.

It's good to be scheduling winnable OOC games against teams with bigger names than their bite. That's exactly what the P-5 schools that put themselves in the race for CFP do. It seemed like forever that UL would schedule a team & they'd end up being one the top 3 teams in the country.

Seriously there was no way we could have know Florida state would have been in shambles when we scheduled them. EMU and rice I will give you but not FSU

I disagree with that view. Coach Napier continually praises the work Coach Toney produces. Does so at QB Club even more than to the press. Coach Toney will be a P5 DC somewhere if not HC here next season. If not at Florida, likely somewhere in Texas.

Mike, who are your top three guys if you were picking?

Hell after researching a bit about Jeff Lebby and his time at Baylor, bring him here. Yes he was part of that Baylor program but he was a dang position coach. Look at what he’s done with the QB’s he’s coached

If we are going to pick from the Baylor tree then Kendal Briles is the better hire.

Just a little more baggage. But I’m with you.

He’s making a mill a year at Arkansas

Same associations. But Kendal is the better coach.

Call it luck then. It is a crap shoot, but one could make an educated guess. I don't know how far ahead a team like FSU, or Texas is scheduled, but I would imagine about two to three years ahead. For instance, If I were trying to set a schedule, I'd try to get Florida next season when I know a young coach like Billy is going to have to clean some house & get his brand going. However I wouldn't want any part of a Florida team three, or four years from now. Another example would be a team like Oklahoma. They struggled with OOC opponents this season. And they're going into the SEC with a coach who just skipped town to get out of that kind of grief. They should be a huge target for an up & coming G-5 program. I would imagine an AD like Maggard would be looking at those kinds of things to predict the downfall of an FSU, or the future downfall of an OU.

So, just wanted to start a list of the names being thrown around the most:

Glen Schumann: d/c at Georgia. Another Saban student, young: 31
Dan Lanning: another co-d/c at Georgia
Josh Gattis: o/c at Michigan
Pete Golding: Bama d/c, another Saban disciple
Patrick Toney: current d/c, the only insider being considered
Jay Johnson: QB coach, Michigan State
Doug Nussmeier: QB coach Dallas Cowyboys
Rob Sale: OL coach, NY Giants
Jeff Lebby: OC and QB coach, Ole Miss

So far I like Golding the best.....seems to be the most like CBN.....or Doug Nussmeier.
