SOURCES: Coaching rumors - Bob Stoops? NFL coach?

[Ray Finkle]

In other tragic news, Bob Stoops eaten by an alligator in Lake Alice.

Some guy claiming to have connections (we all know that right) is swearing we can take any big time college coach that has a large buyout (which is most of them) off the list because Foley isn't going to pay 2 big buyouts and that they already have a couple of NFL coach possibilities if they have to go that route.

Sounds like Schiano to me.

Man I hope not. I am starting to get the feeling if its not an NFL guy that it will be someone like Doc Holliday and not a real big time coach due to all the money buyout talk however.

I'm going to jump

The Gundy talk is not comforting. Going from one unbalanced approach to another isn't what we need. There has been talk about him not even watching the defense when they are out. That scares the hell out of me. I'm also not fond of a guy who'd leave his alma mater(within the Power 5) for another school. Seems like he'd be willing to leave us the second we had success and his name was mentioned for Dallas or some other NFL team.

Crazy sounding, I'm sure, but I'd almost be more excited about Quinn at this point. If he learned anything from his former boss it's that he needs to bring in a quality OC, stay hands off, and focus on defense. But I'd be shocked if we went the coordinator route again.

Gundy has been pretty damn solid until this year. Heck even Billy donnavan had 2 down years. His defenses usually give up a lot of points because teams are playing from behind. Also they force a lot of turn overs. I don't think you have to worry about him getting hired any how. Not with the season they're having. There's going to be alot of rumors according to Foley. Also if we go the coordinator route they'd probably grab an oc.

Geese the one time I offer my testicles up for sacrifice the gods listen?!

Probably not large enough offering....

 

[GatorJ]

Kelly or Harbaugh would be a coup. I'm not too excited about Quinn since he has no HBC experience. I like McDaniels as well.

 

[Gator Fever]

Just saw that Stoops does not have any buyout clause in his contract so he is definitely on the table despite making 5.25 million now.

Now that's just rude

Agree, two people who have me shaking my head are Schiano and Gundy. Schiano is about as horrible a candidate as I can think of, and I'm lukewarm at best on Gundy. One name I haven't considered who would be a good below the radar guy is McDaniels, as long as Foley gets a good commitment from him that he won't bolt for the next NFL opening.

You're lukewarm on a guy whose won a lot of games while playing second fiddle to Oklahoma but would go for an NFL bust like McDaniels?:headscratch:

Mcdaniels doesn't sound the least bit appealing. Nfl guys usually don't translate.

MG's track record is solid. It's the manner in which he's won that concerns me. As I said, he almost treats defense like it's merely a break for his offense before going back out and scoring more points. To me that's as bad as WM's view of the offense being almost a necessary evil. Just not a fan. Now, if he truly recognizes that such thinking may net you 9-10 wins in the B12, but will get you killed in the SEC, and subsequently brings in a solid DC, then we could be in good shape. Otherwise, it's just as bad being up by 28 in the 4th and having no real confidence that the game is over, as it is playing an entire game with a 7-10 point lead, with the same uneasy feeling.

I just think we need a balanced coach, not a glorified coordinator. Just my thinking.

Not that I don't agree, but I just don't see any "WOW" balanced coaches out there who will leave their current positions.

DC, I keep bringing up Schiano because my Hurricane friend says so. I told him he's just wishing that on us so he's not available when they sh!t can Golden.

Fellas, if today is any indication, this is going to be a crazy few weeks. We all but had Stoops signed, sealed and delivered this morning, and now apparently he has been eaten by an alligator in Lake Alice.

To tell you the truth, with all of the info, press conference, "insider" tips and common sense floating around and to factor in, I have absolutely no sense of who our next HBC. None. No gut feel. And it is harshing my buzz from yesterday's announcement, dammit.

Heck come to think of it mcdaniels hasn't done anything but ride Brady's coat tail. In his one stint as a head coach he failed miserably

I agree to some extent. I think he's right on par with Sumlin.

This.....

Kind of why I have been scratching my head on people saying McDaniels.
