LOL! Love Ryan's humor....and I think I may submit a resume anyway. There are plenty of guys in college ball with long hair.

Although he nailed your description he fumbled the spelling of your handle.

Now here's an interesting name in that all-too-long list:
"Mike Schultz. TCU’s offensive coordinator the past 11 years; Considered a prolific recruiter."
Perhaps I'm just behind on reading threads, who knows. Has his name popped up anywhere?

The same thoughts went through my mind...

In Ryan's Blog I thought the guy from TCU was an interesting candidate. Here is his bio from the TCU Media Guide. A lot to like here...
MIKE SCHULTZ
Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks
The longest tenured assistant coach at TCU, Mike Schultz is in his 10th season directing the Horned Frogs’ multiple offense. He serves as both offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Schultz was the running backs coach his first nine years at TCU. With the retirement of quarterbacks coach Dick Winder in February 2007, Schultz has taken over the quarterbacks with Justin Fuente hired to coach running backs. Three of the four highest-scoring teams in TCU history have come under Schultz’s direction, including a school-record 410 points in 2000 and the 2005 total of 398 which placed second. The 2005 Frogs set a single-season school record with 50 touchdowns. The other top marks for touchdowns (49, 2000; 48, 2004) also came under Schultz.
Since Schultz’s arrival in 1998, the TCU running game has consistently been among the best in the nation. The 2006 team ranked ninth in rushing (194.6 yards per game) and 17th in total offense (408.5 ypg.). During his time as running backs coach, Schultz made a habit of developing young players at the position. Prior to Aaron Brown receiving 2005 Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year honors as a true freshman, Lonta Hobbs and Robert Merrill became the only two freshmen in TCU history to rush for 1,000 yards. The duo accomplished the feat in back-to-back seasons (Hobbs 2002, Merrill 2003). Schultz has tutored a 1,000-yard rusher in five of his nine campaigns in Fort Worth - with Basil Mitchell, LaDainian Tomlinson (twice), Hobbs and Merrill each earning that distinction. Prior to Schultz’s arrival, TCU had boasted just four 1,000-yard rushers in more than 100 years of college football.
Under the direction of Schultz, Tomlinson was a two-time NCAA rushing champ, leading the country with 1,850 yards in 1999 and a school record 2,158 in 2000. He earned All-America honors, was a Heisman Trophy finalist and the winner of the Doak Walker National Running Back Award. With Tomlinson leading the way, the 2000 Frogs ranked fourth in the nation, averaging 275.6 rushing yards per game. Tomlinson parlayed his success into a top-five draft pick and a standout NFL career which includes 2006 MVP honors. The Frogs can do more than just run the ball. In 2003, TCU was one of just six schools to average over 200 yards rushing and 200 passing per game. The following year, the Frogs ranked among the nation’s top 20 teams in scoring, total offense and passing offense. The 362 points scored tied for the second-highest total in school history, while the 48 touchdowns were just one shy of the school record set in 2000. TCU also recorded three of the top-11 passing games in school history during the 2004 campaign. Schultz served six seasons at New Mexico, the first four as the assistant head coach and secondary coach and the final two as the assistant head coach and running backs coach.
The Houston native began his coaching career at his alma mater, Sam Houston State, in 1979. Schultz then assisted at UTEP and Kansas State. His next stops were with Fred Akers’ staff at Texas for one season (1985) and three years at Round Rock (Texas) Westwood High School as an assistant. He joined Dennis Franchione at Southwest Texas State in 1990.
Schultz and his wife, the former Cindy Graham of Houston, have three daughters: Taylor, Kendall and Jordan.

Kind of funny, the day after Brandon was fired I was telling my friend that I thought getting someone like the OC from TCU would be smart considering we have recently been more of an offensive based school and because he's a great recruiter...If Ryan is actually serious about him, I kind of feel like a genius

Gotta love the reference to "Signs", redone by the ultimate band, Tesla.
