This offense has been a success. I am not sure there is another guy with HC experience who runs it. but that would seem something ideal to target to keep things rolling.jpfalcon09 wrote:I haven't had a chance to see who would be available for the job.

Durkin won't be an option.
We need to strike quick on Kendal Briles if we want him.
Chances are Kingston looks again to the FCS level to find someone successful who has built themselves a good resume.

Re: Coaching Carousel
I'll say it again...Everett Withers. NFL experience, worked at OSU, HC experience at NC and James Madison. Wealth of experience as a defensive coach and his team's ran a wide open offense. If he wants the gig...I hope we at least interview him

He's an interesting guy, but, not sure it's a fit. Played at Texas and Houston, only coaching experience is at Baylor. No midwest recruiting ties or midwest ties period.Globetrotter wrote:Can we talk about his potential replacement yet?

Re: Coaching Carousel
Looking up his info, definitely an intriguing person. 9-2 this year and won the CAA, 26-12 as a head coach overall.Flipper wrote:I'll say it again...Everett Withers.

Re: Coaching Carousel
Definitely looks interesting. I wonder if we could hire a defensive minded coach and keep this offense. Does Matt Johnson want to go directly into coaching?jpfalcon09 wrote:Looking up his info, definitely an intriguing person. 9-2 this year and won the CAA, 26-12 as a head coach overall.Flipper wrote:I'll say it again...Everett Withers.

Herman re-ups in Houston, no doubt has eyes on the Texas job.

Re: Coaching Carousel
Another FCS name to keep in mind is Illinois State's Brock Spack. He was Tiller's DC at Purdue. Looks like he favors more of a run first offense, but that might be influenced this year by the fact that his QB wasn't much of a passer and their primary RB was MVC player of the year.
On days he doesn't feel like coaching he could get Nick Offerman to fill in...

Temple's Matt Rhule is no longer a candidate at Missouri.

Re: Coaching Carousel
If I'm Missouri... I take a loooong look at Dino Babers...and not because of the "'optics".

Re: Coaching Carousel
Pat Forde reports that Babers is not on the list of candidates for Missouri.

Re: Coaching Carousel
So now that UCF hired their HC..what are the chances Babers stays? I know it isn't likely but what other schools were looking at Babers?
