The Post LHCGP Coach Discussion

[Wexahu]

I don’t disagree, but that’s the challenge and that’s the ticket - finding the right guy. No doubt it’s easier said then done.

With your last comment, sure maybe. Hard to say for some - like KK, who is only had 1 QB. But McVay is 100% the reason (over the QB). Jared Goff has never won an NFL game without him - and McVay took him to the Super Bowl. There are dudes out there that are the next wave. Those are guys we gotta find. If not, sure let’s hire Dykes and be above average. I’d rather swing for the fences.

Those guys are also much more likely to move on at the first chance.

I’d just probably prefer a more proven guy and one who may have been around long enough to know the grass isn’t always greener somewhere else.

I hope we open up our minds and swing for the fences on this coaching search.

Hearing our coaching candidates be people like “Baylor OC” is pretty depressing

 

[PO Frog]

Not as depressing as Justin Fuente.

 

[West Coast Johnny]

Kellen Moore

 

[4 Oaks Frog]

Absolutely not to all 3

Fuente sucks.

Sonny Dykes
Hugh Freeze
Justin Fuente

Just wondering…outside this year with smoo, when was Dykes last winning season as a hear coach?
Why bother…

 

[ECoastFrog]

Let Baylor hire our next coach. They have found 2 good ones in a row. Seriously, how have they found 2 good ones in a row?

 

[Frogs1983]

Kellen Moore

Will be an NFL HC next season

 

[Dogfrog]

Call Tom Herman

Mensa????

Or is there another Tom Herman?

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Deion Sanders. I kid. I kid.

 

[froginmn]

I’ll wait for more facts to come out before I reach a conclusion but this is the way I’m leaning at this moment.

"We need to fire Gary and we need to do it now, but the administration doesn't have the cojones to do it."

We fired Gary today.

"OMG I can't believe he didn't stay on for a few lame duck weeks with continued criticism from everyone."

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Bottom line, there are a TON of good candidates out there. Lots of decent openings with several dominoes to fall as a result. We need to make sure we're not one of the last ones to fall.

This is true and who has the answer, how did they do it.........Mack Rhoades?

 

[Nick Danger]

Tom Herman

There have been some that have criticized his "sideline antics", but there's nothing wrong with picking a new coach with a little "personality"!

 

[ECoastFrog]

I dunno. Somebody at Baylor has a good sniffer for who is going to be a great head coach. I'm not sure we have anyone in power with that kind of talent or expertise -- which ever it is -- that finds the right coach. I sure hope so.

 

[geezer]

ESPN writer offers a candidate list (FWIW):

SMU coach Sonny Dykes
Louisiana coach Billy Napier
Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente
Nevada coach Jay Norvell
Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko
Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables
Liberty coach Hugh Freeze
Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken
Utah State coach Blake Anderson
Baylor offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes

TCU coaching candidates: Who could replace Gary Patterson?

Several industry sources recently called TCU a top-20 job, possibly the best in the reshaped Big 12. Veteran coaches will be interested. Here's a look at who TCU could consider to replace Gary Patterson.

[Pharm Frog]

For those of you advocating for Venables….might be helpful to go back a few years and read what was said when Stoops stepped down. Distillation: Venables is an excellent coordinator and would likely be a significantly less effective head coach. That said, maybe he has learned but do we want to have the same situation that we just extricated from?

 

[Pharm Frog]

Of those I’d take Monken but not THAT particular Monken.

 

[Sebastian S]

Venables please!! Or Elko is an option as well.

But would a defensive coach want to coach in the big 12?

 

[PurplFrawg]

I agree Steel my point is that he essentially DID quit for those on here defending him saying that he did not. He had an option to stay so this makes him just like some of the Portal quitters and such that quit on their team to go somewhere else cuz they arent getting playing time

Just curious, but from a legal standpoint, does he forfeit any buyout monies by quitting, per se?
