2022 Head Coach Hot List

Advertisement
1A) Luke Fickell
1B) Bill Clark
3) Lance Leipold
4) Jamey Caldwell
5) Willie Fritz

Out of Left Field-

1) Ken Dorsey: Current QB coach for the Bills and has made tremendous strides with a 2nd QB(First was Cam). Matt Rhule and Dabo made similar jumps.

2) Chuck Pagano- one of the best DCs in the NFL and has always been one of the best NFL defensive minds. That idiot GM failed him big time with his roster.

3) Hugh Freeze- Only if we get serious about football and there’s an AD change.
Curious about Lance. He has had a lot of success wherever he is. But he isn’t a spring chicken. Why hasn’t a better program scooped him up by now in his career?
 
Lol at the bums on that list. Mario lost as many games as us, in a worse conference, with barely half the games played but sure.

Can’t wait for this board to find their new favorite coach to obsess over, just to watch them shït the bed like the other corches the geniuses of CIS have focused on over the years.
Exactly. If Mario played at Utah, he would never be mentioned on this board. I disliked the thought of hiring him every time his name has come up. Yes, he might be better than Manny, but simply settling for better than Manny isn't enough.

I want a coach the players love, not because he's their friend, but because he makes them the best players and the best team they can be, no matter how tough. UM seems to think the players need to like the head coach, but it doesn't work that way.

My take: he spent many many years in d3 which is a strike against him. He absolutely killed it in d3 for years, though. Tressel was a great coach at Youngstown state for years dominating and Ohio state saw through the level at what sustained success meant.

he’s done a great job at Buffalo turning around a program with crap resources and horrific recruiting base. That’s the thing: (and same with Chadwell) I always love coaches who do great at multiple spots as that means they usually install a culture that works regardless of that the resources that they have. Same applies with Brian Kelly and the extreme example in Urban Meyer.

Hes 56. Mack is what? 69? Saban about the same? He’s more than young enough to squeeze out a 10-15 year career in power 5 if given the chance.
 
Man thinks im Joking but I'll take Schiano. I want someone the players respect, even fear. We haven't had that since Butch left. Thats where it starts. We don't want anymore slogans and props.

Good stuff. He definitely has plenty of time for a good long run somewhere. To your point, he has had some serious success at other levels. Just surprised a lowere level G5 program hasn’t given him his shot. But who knows, maybe they have called and he turned some things down.
But I like that profile. If your system has been successful at multiple places, giving them better resources and athletes should be a good recipe. Rather that than a hot assistant who has never been the captain.
 
Not too impressed by most names being mentioned. I am a fan of Matt Campbell but he is a Midwest guy and is waiting for OSU or ND. Same for Luke Fickell.

No idea who Miami could target after next season.

Give me Brady or Freeze


Or the gawd Butch I'll take his ancient mummified corpse *** at this point.
 
U know **** well they ain't hiring a good HC. It will be Go Canes from this very forum who gets hired. He will for the first time be able to slurp himself
