Al Golden, and most other failures at HC have 1 common problem.. they have no specialty (usually they claim they are a good recruiter.. sound familiar with Mario?). Babers actually is a great offensive mind from the Briles coaching tree. Briles recently said he's the smartest assistant he's ever had and he's going to go along to be a great HC. I'm not saying he's the best candidate, but he would put points on the board and we would be in position to win every game because of that.

I would like to know what assistants he plans to have before I handed him the keys, but if it came down to him and Mario, give me Babers. Not just over Mario either. Candidates like Rich Rod, Strong, etc I would go Babers first.

All of this. Good post.

There was a coach who won 8 and 9 games in the MAC. His name was Urban something.
Whatever happened to that guy?

Difference is he didn't make the jump to a top program until what he did at Utah. Urban wasn't hired at UF because what he did at Bowling Green.
 
This hire only makes sense if we're being cheap. And as an "inexpensive" hire, he would probably be legit.

But that's not the route I'm expecting us to go ...

And I'm not meaning to disrespect Coach Babers ... But he seems to be a better fit for Illinois or Maryland, if he's looking to make a jump to Power 5.
 
Also, just to add this, one of my best friends from college is a huge Mizzou fan, he is rapidly moving up the ladder at Anheuser Busch (pretty sure there are people with money there that have some sort of leverage at Mizzou) and talking to him he keeps saying Babers is a name he keeps hearing. Their obvious first choice is Herman, but Babers is in high regards after his job at Eastern Illinois. They think Herman is long gone from Mizzou, as they just done think they can attract him over USCe/w, Miami, VT, LSU, Texas, or any other big name opening happens. Mizzou just doesn't attract big name coaches, really.

Another name there was Fuente, but scratch him out if the VT thing is legit. It's going to be Babers there most likely.

No one is denying the sequential order on how things happed in Urban's career.
The point is when a person does not give credit to a coach due to his conference and lack of accomplishments it is just not wise.

The "former player" post here the other day, I have no doubt he's a former player, but if his info is legit he said Miami wouldn't hesitate to be in the top 10 for entire coaching staff salary. Take that with a grain of salt, I'll believe it when I see it, but don't rule that out. Also, I've seen multiple people say that if there is a guy they really want, they will pay what it takes for him as well as try to outbid other schools.

I don't see them spending $7 million on Al's buyout to just go down that road again. It's nothing compared to what LSU is about to do with Miles ($15-20 million) but that is still a large amount of money that should force them to get this right.

I think that would be a great hire, for Mizzou and Babers. Really good fit for both sides, IMO.

I agree. Babers would be a great hire for Mizzou. His offense would fck up the SEC East. That's a **** division full of really bad offensive teams.

Dino Babers is a 2nd or 3rd tier guy for me. I don't know much about him, but putting up those records at Bowling Green isn't bad, it's the identical results that Urban got over there.

If it came down to him or Mario, I'd take Babers in a minute. But, if the admin is going to get a coach worth $4 mil per year, and a great staff, Babers doesn't fit that mold. He needs to go to a UCF, Utah, UNLV type of program before coming up on this stage.

Babers is diferent look at his resume all he do is win.. won his conference title each year he's been a coach with below average talent. He won the mac east lost to a good toledo team but will most likely beat n Illinois or w mich to win the entire mac. He is an actual coach that can make adjustments if you watched his game last week. Even though they were down he and his staff set them up to win and the kids kept shooting themselves in foot like 3 turnovers in the end zone 5 turnovers total and a couple to's on down.... he would be better than Herman in my opinion played way tougher competition the Tennessee game they gave them 21 pts in like the last 3 minutes of the 1st half... and never got back in the game every other game he did what he was supposed to as a coach

Who is he? He's a freakin' Gaytor. Although he can be occasionally reasonable at the end of the day he's still trash at his core and any comments about Miami should be dismissed immediately as they're tainted with that Gayta delusion and extremely false sense of superiority.

Babers is #1 on Tulane's list as long as Tulane hires their associate AD as their new AD (she hired him at Eastern Illinois).

I'd stay at BGU another year rather than dive into that dumpster. He'd be stupid to risk his rising star status for such a minor upgrade in jobs.

Tulane is an upgrade over Bowling Green in terms of conference, $, exposure, etc. Bowling Green has a better team right now, but that's because Curtis Johnson makes Al Golden look like Vince Lombardi. If Babers coached Tulane they'd contend in the AAC and be a Top 25 team. He'd do at Tulane what Herman and Fuente are doing at Houston and Memphis this year. The talent is there.
