How about Kill as head coach with the rest of the staff in place and Patterson as a Defensive Strategist that does not have game day responsibilities. It worked yesterday to perfection.
God no.

Do you think he would accept if we offered him the job? It’s been tough to tell with him

You can’t sit on your hands and take leftovers as the carousel spins.
I agree you can sit and wait a bit on Dykes. But Napier is a different story. He’s been pursued by several SEC schools for a reason. If the interview was a big hit for both sides, TCU is going to make its move—not sit around and risk losing something they feel good about just because someone they haven’t talked to *might* get fired.

User name checks out.
We also aren't Texas A&M, Clemson, Bama etc...have you seen those facilities? Now that's big time football and besides what we did with our suites we are pretty subpar when it comes to facilities. When it comes to the level of the schools like the ones I listed above, and there are A LOT more, we just don't compare. Explain to me what makes us a "recruiting hotbed"

1. Seriously, who sits around listening to random press conferences?
2. Who cares / who makes a coaching decision based on a coach’s press conferences? We aren’t hiring a SID.
Weird logic.

Press conferences/interviews, whatever.
Your argument is still really stupid.
CFP bids, championships and all that other great stuff is a byproduct of winning games and to be honest, some good old fashioned luck. Just give me a good coach that can outcoach the opponent more often than not and the rest will take care of itself.
I do think the “long time” thing is important. Having your coach be brought up as a candidate every single time another job opening comes along would suck. Not sure how that is avoided, but I think some of these guys are more hired guns than others.

Kill is a good coach. His health issues cost him some time at Minn. Seems like he has gotten a lot of that back under control.
If he wins out, why not give him a shot? He was Big 10 coach of the year in, I think, 2014.
Is he the type of coach who gets to a playoff? That, I don't know.
I hope you aren’t serious.

Kill is a really great guy and/but a really average coach. Not the answer.

If Napier was winning at TCU, his name would come up elsewhere until he hit the 10 year mark. That is just reality of the biz.
And any coach is going to say they want to stay long time.

Honestly don't know if he would want it. He seemed to be focusing on the special coach rolls lately. I'm sure he has his health in mind.
He is such an even going dude.
I think Napier would be a hell of a lot more likely to stick around for awhile than some other names being tossed around. And I think some guys being discussed would probably stick around even longer than Napier. But you never know.

I would hope the same. But these are different times. We had one of the last of the 20 year coaches. College football has changed. And not for the better.

I think having your coach’s name come up every time there’s a big time opening would be awesome. Can’t imagine anything better actually.
