At least he’s finally getting some real criticism.

Triple his stress as well. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t taken a head job, because he doesn’t desire to be the guy in charge of a whole program.

I just knew Nola would be the first to bring up Kerwin Bell, I was wrong. You know how we're all praying FSU hires Deion, FSU and UGA are praying we hire Kerwin Bell.

A depressing realization that there is nobody out there that is a sure thing to turn this around. Everyone knew when SOS was hired he would lead us to greatness. Everyone knew when CUM was hired he would lead us to greatness.
There is nobody out there that gives me that feeling.

Like others, I’d say the top 2 should be getting serious looks. I had no idea Brady was from Florida, so that could help him ultimately stay home. But I do think the NFL would be an annual risk. Like a real risk, not manufactured. Cristobal would be a 2 way win if he’s successful here. The obvious, we’d be good. And it would infuriate the canes who think he’s there’s to lose.
On Franklin, he should’ve already been here since 2013. That’s the scary part. This administration from top to bottom should go. They held on to WM and watched Psu take the guy who destroyed him in the Swamp. The fact that they’ll be involved at all, once again, is concerning to say the least.

I’m sure there’s already a couple of non power 5 up and comers they have they’re eye on.

That seems to be more of Foley’s specific approach. Stricklin is more into the cliche and obvious choices. There were probably pan-sports writers in Pakistan that nailed our three candidates, and the order we’d list them, back in 2017.

"Venables shared earlier today that this past year, with attractive openings at places like Auburn and UCF among a host of others, he was closer to taking a head coaching job than he perhaps has ever been before."
Why did Brent Venables spurn head coaching opportunities to once again return to Clemson?

1. Back up a Brinks truck for Joe Brady. Make him say no. If he does...
2. Do the same for Venables. Tell him he gets carte blanche for facilities and staff and encourage him to go get an NFL up and comer position coach as OC. With Clemson being as "down" as they've been in ages and the strength of our opening, this would be the job if he's ever gonna move to being an HC. If he says no...
3. Cristobal/Fleck/Franklin, etc. Established coaches who can win. We shouldn't need to dip below this level.
Hugh Freeze would bring the NCAA with him on day 1 and Lane Kiffin would flame out in a couple years like he always does. Gotta take a pass on them because of that, even though they'd definitely win in the short run.
If we want to play with the big boys, we need to be willing to spend the money to make that happen. Not sure Stricklin or anyone else in the AD is. If they're not, clean house and find people who will.

No first time HC’s and definitely not a DC. I’d make an exception for Brady just because of the night and day difference at Lsu and his notoriety which would kill it in recruiting.

Don't forget scUM hiring Ed Reed as HC as well.
Fickell is my #1 choice and has been for awhile.
Somebody is going to roll the dice on Chadwell at some point and strike gold I believe.
Hugh Freeze will get another gig too, but who risks the baggage?
Wild card? Bob Stoops, yes, he's 61, but if you get Smiling Dork Stricklin out of the way, you know him and SOS are still tight.

He's obviously got his heart set on a select few spots then. Maybe OU if Riley leaves, I don't know. I can guarantee you he will go to a place that has a football first mentality from the administration, and UF doesn't posess that at present time.

I agree with that in general, with a specific exception for Venables. He's not from the Saban tree, he's a Stoops guy, and teams where he's coached have always had good offenses apart from Clemson this year. I'd hope and suspect he's learned the value of scoring points from his experiences in a way the Sabanites never did.
He doesn't feel like a Muschamp to me.
