Hypothetical Head Coach Short-list


Recommended Posts

Think BK is the best guy for the Notre Dame job. But if he left, accepted an NFL job, etc. I'd want two guys to be contacted: Art Briles and Al Golden.

 

While I'd love Shaw, I don't think he leaves Stanford - isn't he an alum? - and if he did, it'd be for an NFL gig.

 

Strong will stay at Louisville or take an SEC gig so I don't think he's a realistic option.

This thread would exist because ITS NOT AT ALL BASHING KELLY OR ANTI KELLY!

 

This thread is here because I was reading "The System" by Benedict and Keteyian and they have a chapter with WSU AD Bill Moos and he talks about how he has always kept a short list of possible head coaches, just in case, even when he was in charge of Oregon.

 

Once again, it's not a "Fire Kelly" thread. It's a thread based on the idea that a good AD will always be prepared just in case. If you were that AD, who would be on your short list to keep an eye on?

 

 

NOT A BASH KELLY THEREAD! NOT A FIRE KELLY THREAD! Just an interesting idea long term.

That is all.

 

I blame the rum last night. My bad.

i think Strong is there because of Teddy. teddy gone .... strong gone.

the guy has got to want to win a title and that will never happen at louisville.

In all seriousness, ND always needs to be keeping tabs on the next HC. Things change, people leave, etc.

 

Excluding top tier guys like Stoops, Urban, Saban, etc.

 

Ready Made Guys

Strong

Fitzgerald

Sumlin

Peterson

Shaw

Patterson

Sark

 

Few more minutes in the oven guys

Briles

Diaco

Kingsbury (personal favorite)

1. Strong

2. Sumlin

3. Sarkisian

 

I'm not sure Sumlin would leave A&M, that is a destination job. The other two aren't at destination jobs IMO, but they both recruit pretty well at their respective schools.

 

It's obvious Kelly is safe but I wouldn't complain about having the three above.

None of the coaches listed in this entire thread meet all 3 of the following citeria:

 

1. Administration would seriously hire.

2. Would accept the ND job.

3. Would be an upgrade over BK.

 

So I don't understand why you guys are trying to fire him??!!

 

:llama::llama::llama:

 

Not many people are trying to fire him. Most are going off the possibility that Kelly leaves for the NFL. Honestly I wouldn't miss him because I think hes massively overrated. He hasn't done better than Weis and Charlie wasn't good.

He was contacted and answered the phone the last time the job was open.

 

How did ND absolutely make a mistake passing for a coach that has multiple titles (albeit lower division) and undefeated seasons?

 

Anyone who has BK being the coach at ND past the next three years is hopefully typing in pencil.

 

I was referring to his career as a football player and a high school recruit.

It was a joke......hence the llamas.

 

BK is WAAAAY better than Weis. He is recruiting depth especially on the lines. He hasn't finished worse than 8-4. BK took ND to the NCG. He won 10 straight home games. I could go on.

 

Oh yeah, and he is "nasty" too!!!!!!

Yawn. I tell ya', this thread....and this site in general this year. Geez guys.

 

Tommy Rees is our starting quarterback. We will be 8-5 or 9-4. Just the way it is.

 

checking out this list....I think I like BK from it....

Uh, yeah. Again, I would have started this thread if we were 0-12 or 12-0 because it's not at all pushing Kelly out the door. It's a hypothetical, as stated several times. All good AD's ALWAYS have a short list in their pocket JUST IN CASE THE JOB OPENS UP.

 

It was never advocating firing Kelly. Come on people.

Hypothetical. O.k. sure.

 

Before the season..... Petersen, Fitzgerald, Strong, and Graham. Mid-season.....Diaco or Martin. End of year........see same list above.

 

We are never getting Gruden, Saban, Harbaugh, Meyer, Stoops, etc........
