From Bgsufanatic7

Mike Bajakian (OC, Tennessee) is the first name that BG has a confirmed interest in. It has been hitting the twittersphere very hard this morning.

Not only did he have the same position as Clawson at Tennessee, but he also attended the same college, Williams (Not sure if they attended together). He was the OC at Central Michigan from 2007-2009, the Dan LeFevour years. He then followed Butch Jones to Cincinnati, and served as the OC from 2010-2012 before moving with Butch again to Tennessee. From what I've read, he runs an up-tempo, no huddle offense. This intrigues me given how potent our offense should be next year. Bajakian also was the WR's coach for the Chicago Bears from 2004-2006 and was the QB coach at Michigan from 2000-2001. He's also served as the QB coach, as most coaches do, at his various gigs as OC at Tennessee, Cincinnati and Central Michigan. Obviously has worked with some good QB's in LeFevour and Tyler Brey, this excites me about the potential and development of Matt Johnson as well.

There's like a million threads about the same stuff on the board. Someone should try to merge threads and clean it up. Lots of good discussion going on in these threads but they should all be housed in one location.

Or folks could take the time to open a thread and read them and post opinions as they see fit.

Thats what I was trying to do. I don't have any real power. I will combine stuff into here though.

I've seen a few pages of Ohio State fans on message boards begging Fickell to be the next coach at BG. Some even suggesting Meyer is promoting him to Kingston in order to hire a new DC without having to fire a guy. Obviously there's some silliness going on there but none of what I've read makes me think Fickell should be a serious candidate.

Thanks. I'm aware I can click into the threads but there's a lot of good information inside multiple threads so I appreciate you taking things and combining them here.

Yep, feel free to throw stuff in and I will move it up top in some sort of organization. I have the power to change the top 3 threads.

I would like to see Greg Studrawa come back to BG. He is the line coach at LSU.

I don't think there is any question Meyer is pushing him. I think he's interesting candidate. He had top 15 defenses from 2005-2010 while he was a co-d coordinator, head coaching experience, good recruiter, has some MAC experience, guy that would sell tickets.

Maybe it's because I don't have feelings about OSU either way. But, what are people's issues with him? People want Coach Stud, but don't want Fickell?

I'm gonna guess he makes more as a line coach at LSU than Clawson made as head coach at BG. Money is going to be a big issue if you go after any assistants from bigger schools, especially those in the SEC.

[Globetrotter]

Ia ssume we will give the next guy a big raise.

Would love to see DJ Durkin back in BG. Not crazy about Fickell....I'd pass.
