Just look at how many live & train during the off season there. if AZ ever got good ownership and management they would have a huge upper hand.
November 28, 20205 yr I’m kinda surprised no one has thrown out Bill O’Brien, since we are throwing out equally inane ideas.

November 28, 20205 yr I would be happy if we would just interview a handful of the names listed. Interview a few of them. Ask real questions of them. As fans, we deserve a real coaching search if we don’t have UM locked up. I know our input won’t matter but after the last two hires...we deserve better.

November 28, 20205 yr If not Urban, I'll take a dick punch for Lane Kiffin. Dude is a witch on the recruiting trail and knows offense. He's a skeezy motherfucker, but whatever. I'd still take Fickell over him, but I wouldn't be mad if we said Kiffin is the new corch.

And Phoenix is pretty close to the OC so it’s not like you’re far away from fun. my question was is it really easy to deal with Seattle, San Fran and the rams?

I can't speak about San Fran or LA, but as a lifelong Seahawks fan having good ownership goes a long ways. When Paul A bought the team at the 11th hour, keep in mind they were moving to LA, he was all but done. He asked football people to be football people. That has served us well.
November 28, 20205 yr If we can't get a proven winner HC and want to continue this trend of finding coaches with potential and throwing them out there, I want Bryan Harsin.
November 28, 20205 yr If no UM, I’d go no further for a G5 than in San Antonio. Jeff Traylor, in his 1st season at UTSA, has the ‘Runners into a winning season. They only lost to BYU, in Provo, 27-20. Look at how BYU “wood shedded” every other team this year!While Traylor was at UT, he was brought on for “recruiting” and placed as the TE coach, which has vastly been under utilized since Mack’s early years. He wasn’t retained with the TH hire and that was a mistake- IMO.A Traylor hire will immediately help with in-state recruiting. He already has a staff at UTSA full of UT connections. Just matching TH salary would be enough and not “break the bank”! Traylor is our best option, if/after Urban Meyer says NO!

I wouldn't be overjoyed, but I also wouldn't have this sense of "we're back" either. I'd just be there for the ride and see how it goes. It he fails it wouldn't be a shock, if he wins hell yeah we hit the lotto.

November 28, 20205 yr Dino Babers with Sterlin Gilbert as OC and Chris Ash as DC... Fill with kickass recruiters and go nuts.Give me football reasons why not.
November 28, 20205 yr If it ended up being Jeff Traylor, I’d go no further than Gary Joseph for DC. He’s been the current Katy HC for a decade plus, but there isn’t a coach in the state of Texas that can be better, schematically, than him for today’s spread offenses - hello B12. Seriously, even without “better athletes”, his defensive players are rarely out of position and they make open-field tackles! Katy HS basically sees the best in what Texas has to offer, year in and year out, through the playoffs, and his defense is the main reason that they are always near the top.It’s about being in position to make the play defensively! How many times did ISU find a slow/big TE open yesterday for a big gain? That is scheme and putting players into position to stop that.
November 28, 20205 yr Can we just call a temp agency? A one year with a contractually required parting after the season regardless of results and then just keep bringing in a new one each year for the next few years. We'd probably get the same results we've had for the last decade at a much cheaper price. At some point the next Saban/Meyer/Swinney will emerge and we'll be ready when he does.
November 28, 20205 yr At least Traylor knows how to use his starting RB. He has 10 carries in the first quarter and I'm sure he'll end up with more than 16 for the game.

November 28, 20205 yr The “spread” was basically created in Texas HS football or utilized to fruition prior to anyone else, to include the college level.Joseph has been involved in “stopping” the spread since its inception, so what do I know?

November 28, 20205 yr Matt Campbell is my choice of actual realistic options. The last thing I want is another gimmick coach to talk about the 5 core values or piss charts or eating runny eggs for a bad practice. Give me a smart coach that understands Xs and Os and demands accountability, not via gimmicks, but via leadership and consequences. If we get that, combined with our resources and brand, the rest will fall into place.To me Campbell seems to be easily the best option based on what I'm looking for. He's not a G5 superstar nor was he a flash in the pan carried by a superstar QB like Bridgewater. He's just reliably and consistently improved Iowa State year-over and moved them out of bottom feeder tier into respectable tier. Iowa State. Not sexy but I think Campbell puts us in the CCG almost annually as a floor.
November 28, 20205 yr You swing for the fences with Meyer and/or Shanahan. If those fail. We would do good with Campbell. He has also proved he can beat Oklahoma with bunch 2/3 stars. We have to get rid of the guy thats here 1st. 1st year in about 40 that I have watched less than three games. Call me when that douche is gone. Cristoval, Edwards, Brady, Traylor. Really!!

November 28, 20205 yr Outside of Joe Brady and the Shanahan/Rhule pipedreams, any good NFL options out there? Preferably someone with at least some college experience. Not a huge Bieniemy fan bc that's Reid's offense plus Mahomes. In all seriousness, I do think you at least put in a call with Rhule. See if he doesn't like the NFL as much as he hoped and wants to come back to college already. Highly unlikely but why not try. I also like Brady and you could likely get him relatively cheap and throw a ton of money at DC and other assistants.
November 28, 20205 yr Even though his Texans firing was way overdue, Bill O'Brien may actually be a decent option for the college ranks. Flame away but the NFL is a different animal (ask Saban)

November 28, 20205 yr There's really no one proven that's going to come here if Urbs declines. That's the reality of it. We're gonna have to either keep rolling with the moron or take another chance on a G5 (Fickell) or FCS (bleh). The reality is grim.
