If O wouldn't have been hired, then who else?

Seriously, after Alleva missed on HERMAN and Jimbo, who was next and would they have been a better hire?
Only give names of realistic hires. No saban, Meyer ECT

Mike Gundy should have been a serious candidate.

There were up and coming successful coaches out there that would have taken the job. There were options. It's not our job to determine who the right man for the job is (like so many good ole boys were inclined to do with O). It's the AD's job. He failed.

PJ Fleck should have at least been interviewed.

The barrel was empty after those two... I didn't hear of any decent names after those two... at least not any without some kind of baggage ....

There are definitely pages of coaches that are more qualified than O
Yet we only had one option from the start.
I am still disgusted by the process

I really wanted Franklin at Penn State to at least be reached out to.

i would seriously have considered fleck, gundy, mullen, then fedora, Fuentes, etc

Gundy, Mullen. Mullen, Gundy.

The guy O coached against last night. He should've been the third phone call.

Fedora would have been better. He is a proven HC. P.J. Fleck would have been better. I was against the hire from the get go. I can't remember any school firing a HC for performance and then promoting a position coach from that same staff to be the permanent HC.

A better question might be, "Who in the h$ll wants to coach at this dumpster fire??"
Let's face it.....we're now about like 99% of the teams in the country....desperate....

Jeff Brohm out there making Purdue (!!!) looking good. Probably coulda snagged him
Posted on 9/17/17 at 9:14 pm to kjntgr
After Fisher was out was hoping for Herman but knew Texas had him if they wanted him. After that was getting warmed up on Gundy but always thought Mullen would be the escape route guy if all else failed. Was shocked and irate when news broke that we were likely hiring Orgeron. There was 0 reason to rush the hire after Herman played Alleva. He could have interviewed a couple legit coaches the next week since the regular season just ended.

They literally told Gary Patterson "no" when he asked for an interview. Not saying he was guy, but to tell that guy no tells you where their heads were.

I think we would have gone for Fedora. If Miles hadn't hired Orgeron he wouldn't never been a candidate to begin with. I think that's what really bothers me. We didn't go after anyone we really wanted and just settled because we wanted a date to the prom.
Posted on 9/17/17 at 9:18 pm to kjntgr
Yes... Orgeron was the best we could do. We had no other choices. I am amazed Syracuse passed on him two years ago.
You people that think he was the best and only choice we had are pretty dumb. No we couldn't get Saban or Meyers. I think had we acted earlier we could have locked up Herman. Strong would have been given another year and Herman would have been all LSU by the time he left. Even if he left LSU for Texas, we would be better off. We could have had a number of good D1 coaches... Gundy, Fleck, Rodriguez come to mind immediately. Peterson for 4.5 million would have considered LSU. Many good top assistant coaches would have been a better selection. We hired a man that went 10-28 as a HC and lost the Fl game in 2016.
We are idiots and will get what we deserve. I knew on Black Friday 2016 it was gonna be bad. I am surprised how quickly things have declined.
