Official Coaching Search Thread….

All the top five star players want to go where Sanders goes. However his current school is too small and they won’t go there. Deion can get Bama level talent to Fort Worth just hire him and watch our recruiting blow up in a good way!

What a ridiculous statement.

Dana Holgersen is two years younger than Sonny Dykes, has a far better P5 record than Dykes four losing seasons, and after taking over a mess in Houston, Dana in his third year has turned the Cougars to a 6-0 record in the same conference as Dykes’ 3-2 Mustangs, including an Oct. 30th win over Dykes. Are we willing to settle for less than Houston? I poke. Have we called Holgy?

Dana Holgerson is two years younger than Sonny Dykes, has a far better P5 record than Dykes, and after taking over a mess in Houston, Dana in his third year has a 6-0 record in the same conference as Dykes’ 3-2 SMU, including a recent win over Dykes. Are we willing to settle for less than Houston. I poke.

From a W/L standpoint, Holgerson actually did worse than the three previous coaches at WVU, and to date has done worse than the five previous Houston coaches.

So no, it wouldn't seem like a great hire.

Plus he is drinking buddies with Patterson. And I want to be a drinking buddy with him. And really, isn't that a leading requirement for a coach?

Saying this doesn't make it true.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm and I missed it. If not.....whew.

It seems likely that it is Sanders' camp that is putting out that he is "in the mix." Just makes our search look a bit cartoonish.

Reddit rumor that TCU interviewed Coach O. Doesn't seem likely to me but I also didn't think Deion Sanders would be in the mix.

 

[SwissArmyFrog]

Rhymes with rapier.

Which rhymes with Baylier.

I'm not a fan of Deion getting picked, but...he would bring in some recruits and excitement. The question is, can he coach and control the intangibles?

Tough for me to get fully behind that one but I’ve heard worse ideas.

You are not good at rhyming.

Deion at first TCU presser:

"Thank you. First of all, everyone just call me 'Coach Prime'. Secondly, after consulting with legends such as Nick Saban, we'll be changing our color from purple to powder blue."

I figured 50% rhyme + 50% Baylor hate would earn at least passing marks.

 

[BleedNPurple]

Correct me if I am wrong, but GMFP had no HC experience when he took over, No?

He did have recruiting experience.

hyperbole and sarcasm are different things, just an FYI.

 

[Mean Purple]

if they fired a future hall of famer coach Patterson and just to bring in an unproven like Sanders, ADJD would need to be fired.

FWIW, I'm for Peterson. Best resume; and would, in my view, be the best fit.

Agree, but is he interested and if yes has he interviewed?

Agreed. IMO, he would be better than Napier, who I think could be better than Dykes. All are better than Sanders.
