I always liked Rich Rod.  I would definitely be up for him as a possibility.

According to Bruce Feldman, Deion Sanders was offered the Colorado job.

Didn’t Rodrigues have some controversy at Michigan on how he treated his players? Kinda like what Mangino did at Kansas?

Damn, NT was so close……

 

Too bad Wren didn’t even think about anything remotely close to doing something like this.

g.j. kinne looks very appealing to me. 

10-1  at iwu. Top offense in fcs. Knows east Texas, Knows qbs. His defense also only gives up 19 points

Player mistreatment, workplace misconduct, and sexual harassment. I remember his Michigan stint ended very ugly….

I never read anything like that before or after Michigan.  Sounds like it would be the exception, and not the rule.

Yeah, maybe he can use the tricks that Traylor used to recruit him to Gilmer in 2006.

I played him in high school.  He was a beast

Maybe I’m mixing him up with someone else.

Morris would be my pick. With the TP I think it will be more important to be able to evaluate talent than recruit HS kids.

USF is also in play for Deion and I'd see him going there or staying at Jackson State before going to Colorado. Too much of an uphill battle. He can go to USF, dominate an easier conference than the Pac 12, and make the playoffs with less opposition. Based on his few coaching stops, he's more likely to go places where he has an advantage over his immediate competition. He won't have that at Colorado.

He can come to NT and be near Jerry Jones!

Yeah I was at the game in 06 when Liberty Eylau beat them in Longview.  There was a ton of talent on the field that night. I didn't play against Kinne, but I did against Gilmer in 05 and L-E in 05/06.

I updated the first page with the new schools for the coaches that were hired. The crazy thing is that outside of Trent Dilfer we had most of the newly hired coaches on our list. Oh well, I will start this list again next year, and at the end I will email it to the new Athletic Director. Thanks to everyone that participated. We had 25 pages of content.

There’s a coach that was brought up a while back. He had great G5 success. Now that you look back at his P5 experience….he actually ended up being better that thought when he got let go, especially seeing that he didn’t get the recruits that the current guy gets. He knows Texas. Runs a high powered offense. 
 

What is Kevin Sumlin doing? I’m still intrigued by him.
 

 Pluses? Minuses?
