re: Updated: List of HC Candidates (Hypothetical)

Orgeron

wait for it...

Tommy Tuberville, Auburn
Spurrier, South Carolina
Nick Saban, Alabama
Schiano, Rutgers

I don't miss seeing those press conferences, I tell you that much. I feel about 2-3 years older after sitting through that.

it's non-premium content, so i guess it's ok to post. i won't put any stock in it until i see something in some mainstream media...although Nick's buddy Chris Landry's supposed comments might be somewhat telling, if accurate. here's some Ferentz chatter:

quote:

---

According to a source with the Iowa Athletic Department. Kirk Ferentz has been offered and accepted the Michigan position.

There was a meeting between Gary Barta (Iowa A.D.) and Ferentz earlier this week. Barta let it be known that he wanted Ferentz to make changes with the Offensive Coordinator and would pressure the Defensive Coordinator to retire. Ferentz refused and held firm.

my favorite line is below...anyway, since google can be a friend apparently Christensen is the owner/operator of Game Day Iowa. he has a booth at Hawkeye games and sells apparel and what not's.
he posts sometimes on the Iowa Scout board (as gamedayron, where he doesn't always receive a warm reception) if this is indeed the same guy referenced below, fwiw.

again, until some hard news is reported it's all foder.

The source (Ron Christensen) is usually rock solid and never lies.

Check out Saban's press conference from Monday...at the 18:30 mark or so it gets intense

son of a bitch we need that guy back...

"What we're going to do from now on is sugarcoat it, when a player messes up we're just going to sugarcoat it, aight"

"...I'm not one of these coaches that will rub a players neck when they mess up"

let's make a switch from les miles to lloyd carr. excellent move i say.

Would we really want Spurrier and would we really have a shot. . . . Our golf courses are not as nice as South Carolinas. I would love to have the killer attitude and arrogance but is it really a shot.

I'd be happy with Cowher. Or Del Rio, from the NFL.

Cowher's record is outstanding. I think Del Rio is a younger version of Cowher - and he's 15 games over .500 in the last 4 years.

Both win with defense, and without big name players. They win games without stars - they don't rely too much on one player. That's important in college, where you have a constant turnover of players.
