Four interviewees confirmed....

[AstroCajun]

Regardless of who we name as a head coach, we can always name RC90....

I did a quick google search of the list of names and I'm sorry but
none of them are getting me real excited. I'm not professing to be an expert on any of these guys. We tend to get really excited when we hire a new coach but forgive me if I'm skeptical. I remember the buzz when Bustle was hired and yes I had a "Bustle Up" T-shirt at one time. I really thought he was the answer until after his 5th year or so. At least from my search I don't see one with a lot of real head coaching experience. I would love to see a successful head coach from a Mid Major or even a 1-AA school. I believe one of those guys was a head coach at Georgia Southern and another at the University of Northern Alabama.

I feel this is our last rodeo if we don't find someone to get us to a bowl game. Just from what I've seen I'm not all to excited. Perhaps someone like Cajun T shed some light on these guys. Just expressing my humble opinion.

_ Not an impressive list! _

You are very wrong on this.

Brewer is the best recruiter out of this group by far and he is a great offensive coach.

Hudspeth is the best coach out of this group and he is a winner, not quite as strong as Brewer in recruiting.

Crowton, well I do not like him.

Deforest, now way he should get the job.

IMO it is out of Brewer and Hudspeth, I am leaning towards Brewer because he is the strongest recruiter and a very, very good offensive mind. He recruited Randy Moss, Dez Bryant, Blackman and many other NFL players to porgrams who at the time were not world beaters. Okie St. just recently became a great program, but he was getting Superior athletes to Stillwater way before that.

I think your skepticism is healthy seeing that most college coaching hires do not work out. However, allowing yourself to get excited is one of the perks of being a fan.

The history of our football program shows that.

_ I agree Brian Jenkins should get an interview. Hopefully they will strongly consider him for the job. I think during his time here he proved the high level of coach he is. He has also proven that he can turn a program into a winner. He took a school that was picked to finish last in the conf. and finished first. He took a team that was 5-6 last year and has led them to 10-1, the conf championship and into the play-offs his first year. Speaks volumes about him and his ability. Hopefully he gets more than just an interview. _

IMO if he had more than 1 year as a HC he would be a leading candidate. But, he has not yet had a recruiting class at his current gig and that is a sticking point.

Why would a successful head coach from another Mid Major come here, with our athletic budget? Why would he not remain at his current job until offered one with a BCS school?

T can't shed enough light for you. The sun isn't bright enough for you sir.

I'm sorry your "Bustle Up" T-shirt didn't work out. I'll help UL with a sizzling WOW slogan for the next coach... and I promise you... you will get all goosebumpy and fuzzy about it. You might even catch a man crush. Stay tuned...

You better do some research my friend. his First recruiting class was not bad for the time he had. I certainly hope we wont insult him and just interview him because we need a minority to interview . That would be be a slap in his face by us. Im a ragin cajun inside out and I dont want to see that take place. Never the less I think the job he has done without time to bring his on kids in says alot. But all the guys mentioned are good picks.
