Where was Jay Johnson on yours?


Baseball is not as well publicized as CFB. I follow us big time but don't keep up with all the up-n-comers.

I didn't think Corbin was realistic. Sully hasn't impressed - underachieves. The UTenn guy has done well but apparently has a toxic (maybe immature?) personality. Bianco was meh.

I liked it. He's young (40s). I think he's on the right trajectory. I also liked the DBU guy.

No
Acutal do not like him.
I wanted Aranda, Rhule, Fickell, Napier in that order.

He wasn’t on mine because everyone kept saying he’d never leave ND. But in truth, he’s a Tier 1 candidate.

He also wasn't on my list just because I didn't think he was obtainable. I am really high on Napier but I dont think you could put his potential above what BK has proven he can do at a modestly inferior program.

Saban......(Fantasy Pipedream)

Aranda.....Cerebral. Knows Defense. Organized and Smart. Knows LSU and the Culture.

Napier......Lafayette Junior College Miracle Worker. Up and comer that has Saban like qualities.

Kelly.....Brought ND back from the dead. Has the skins, experience and intelligence to get it done here. Polar opposite of Shrimpy.

BTW, he fits the best "White Whale" definition of the bunch.

Hey, is he bringing Freeman to be DC or is he going to be the new ND HC? (Remember, his Squeeze don't wanna live in Baton Rouge)

Didn't think it was a viable option.
But I forgot the old saying "money talks and BS walks"

If you asked me a week ago, I would've still preferred Riley, however the more I've read about Kelly the more pressed I get. Also, Riley is scared.

He was near the top.

I would say under Riley, above Jimbo. Didn’t think he would say yes though. But did think we had the best shot at him out of the playoff contending coaches.

Wasn't on my list. Absolutely hate the hire. Waste of money for a senior citizen.
