No Clark Lea? Also worked under Kelly. Coukd go the Gerry DiNardo route again. His teams remind me of Elko’s. Hard nosed and well coached.


Look up his record without Pavia at QB. 9-27 in three years with 2 SEC wins, 2-10 (0-8) in Year 3. We’ve seen first-hand how outstanding QBs can make mediocre coaches shine (Favre with Hallman, Burrow with Coach O, Daniels with Kelly).

To add to Sumrall, he was also on the Troy staff that beat LSU.

I wanted Freeman the first time over Kelly. Have been saying this since the hire.

I think Lashlee and Golesh get an interview as well.

He’ll likely be in his 4th conference championship in his 4th year coaching if they can beat Memphis

Record against ranked opponents is a key feature I’d be considering.

Brady looked good because of Ensminger, Ensminger looked good because of Brady. Two minds working together. Brady hasn’t really had that kind of year again.

Agree. Maybe we go a year with an interim.

There’s no good candidates this year, those all look terrible

As a current Oregon resident I cannot imagine leaving UO for the pressure cooker if the SEC…he truly has it made up here.


To me the first choice by a mile is Kiffin.

Agree on Clark Lea. Physical team. Tough coach.
