Who Ya Got?

Hopefully whoever it is will require Tech to pay market COA/Stipend.

That takes money. Do we have any? North End Zone, parting gift to Holtz, falling tickets sales and attendance numbers. Not sure where we borrow from for that benefit.

The COA/stipend has to be a priority. You have to have some Jimmies and Joe’s first.

Yep it’s part of playing FBS football. Otherwise let’s just play FCS and be done with it.

I agree we have to have it. I wonder what we shuffle to the bottom of the pile to afford it. Not being argumentative, it’s a legitimate issue in my mind.

Talk about a rebuilding project.

We need someone with a strong personality also (like a Dooley) who can override the go-along-to-get-along culture in Ruston to do what it takes to win and win big. That's going to be pretty hard to do with the mess Dr. Guice has gotten us into but its not impossible.

I’m actually optimistic about Wood hiring someone. I think you need someone from outside the Ruston bubble to make this hire.

You need a strong personality. Someone who will push things like CoA, Stipend, Student Athletic Fee. Someone with bigger ideas.

For a HC, I would prefer someone who is willing to let his assistants coach and finds good assistants.

Or do you go with a personality like Rich Rod? He’s certainly a firebrand, and capable.

Gotta be new money. The only way things get reshuffled is if student fees pass. Not even up for a vote…yet

Dooley was better as an A.D.

With as little confidence as I Have in the administration at this point, I would bet they have most of their ducks in a row. I would bet that COA and Stipend are in the conversation and that our hire will be name-worthy. That is expecting a lot I know, but the hiring pool is going to be exceptionally big this year it looks like, plus coaches with current gigs who they may be looking at. TECH will be ELITE with the hire, I think they want to make a big splash!


Yeah, I know, that doesn't even sound right, but remember, this administration hardly ever tells us anything. I don't think there is anything in between, they are either totally prepared or they are just shooting from the hip. I can't ever remember them shooting from the hip.

I agree, and for that reason.

I want an offensive mind for sure.

I'd take Rich Rod if his son was not part of the package.

[Bayou Dawg]

I'd take Rich Rod if his son was not part of the package.

I can agree with this. I like his intensity on the sidelines.

[inudesu]

Mike Yurcich?

We could take a page from WKU and find an FCS coach with a big offense, good QB, and a couple of good receivers and bring them all in together in a package.

Just throwing feces against the wall:

Kendal Briles - Maybe out of $ range
Tim Rattay - Would have connections and has experience recruiting LA
Ron Roberts - Baylor DC, HC/recruiting experience in Louisiana
KC Keeler - National Championships with two different teams
Garret Riley - Up and Comer, but how much did he do vs. Dykes
Rhett Lashley - unless he gets SMU
