Is this a serious topic?



I'm asking all of you numb nuts. You can sling this and that around all you want. Answer the God damn question and a few kinda sorta did.

Would you have been fired up if we would have hired either as the head coach? Why wasn't either of those coaches close to remotely being on the list or even mentioned as the next head coach here?

I would've been happier with either one of those guys over O

Fired up? Probably not. They would be "meh" hires.

Because we, for some reason, only had Fisher or Herman as candidates.

That is why most of us are so pissed about the "search". Alleva stopped after 2 and settled with O.

There were plenty of other options out there that would have been better hires than O. These 2 coaches are examples.

I'm happy to answer the question. Yes I would have been fired up if we would have hired one of these guys. They have a history of winning, both of them took programs that were down and their win total got better every single year.

Neither of these coaches were considered because our AD is a complete fricking moron who interviewed two coaches he had no chance of getting and settled on the cheap hire that is entirely dependent on his coordinators.

I would have loved Rhule or Taggart. Taggart has rebuilt two programs and had a ten win season, and is just now turning 40. Rhule turned around Temple, who has one of the worst programs historically in FBS. If O was in either of those positions, he wouldn't post winning records like O.

These coaches weren't on the list because our list went three deep. We were hell bent on O without even doing a search. By some measure I would have been super happy with Taggart and I would have been happy with Rhule. I think Taggart is going to be a star.
