Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
It would be crazy to have Mike Jacobs and Todd Simon at the same time. No other school in the country could match those two bellies.

Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
I am being told that a decision and announcement regarding the next head football coach is expected before the MAC Basketball tournament which begins March 12th. DVDM and Co. want to get it squared away before heading to Cleveland.

FootballScoop reported the same, either by the end of this week or early next week.bghkyfan74 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 10:54 am I am being told that a decision and announcement regarding the next head football coach is expected before the MAC Basketball tournament which begins March 12th.

Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
You have to assume that Jacobs wasn't one of the top candidates. I don't think he chooses Mercer over BG
What happens in these situations is that coaches get raises based on interest.
My hope is that we are going to talk to Brian Wright and Clint Killough.
I am not feeling confident that we are going to make a good choice this time around. Jacobs to me was the clear choice. Ohio ties, tons fo winning. DC was Jhamal Brown. If you can't make the push to pull him out of Georgia we shouldn't be playing at this level.

My guess is Friday during the day so that it can be a talking point at basketball and hockey over the weekend.jpfalcon09 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 9:11 amFootballScoop reported the same, either by the end of this week or early next week.bghkyfan74 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 10:54 am I am being told that a decision and announcement regarding the next head football coach is expected before the MAC Basketball tournament which begins March 12th.

Give me Dino Babers again
Give me Neal Brown
Give me Neal Brown
Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
No way to Dino. Neal Brown? I'd be interested, but he's already in talks to join the staff at Texas and I'm sure it would be for at least double what we could offer.

Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
I just can't imagine hiring one of these power 4 assistants with no head coaching experience. Especially for a meh team. What in the world are we thinking

Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
Tough to gauge what DVDM will be thinking...Simon was an experienced HC, Chmiel wasn't.
He could go either way...

Chmiel was the top assistant on the best team in the country
We are talking about hiring a TEs coach from Kentucky or a DBs coach from Minnesota.

Beggars can't be choosers. You're in the worst conference of FBS trying to find a coach in early March. Expectations need to be greatly tempered.Globetrotter wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 3:41 pmChmiel was the top assistant on the best team in the country

Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
Given our budget constraints and inability to ever find buyout money I would rather promote within for a single season of interim head coach than hire from a limited pool at a weird time in the hiring cycle.jpfalcon09 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 4:54 pmBeggars can't be choosers.

Re: Possible coaching candidates in the future
Are the current assistant coaches well seasoned themselves? Would you need interim?
