Who should Mullen's replacement be?

This idea is certainly not original with me. I have seen others mention it previously in this thread.

So what does that say for him now considering he has the best talent in the Pac 12 and still drops bad games and has the same amount of playoff appearances as the bozo currently hired

 

[chferg]

cool he beat OSU...

He lost to Stanford and is likely to miss the playoffs again because of it. He's an ass coach who can recruit...

I don't want to go down the Zook route again

 

[chferg]

We're not talking about 1 or two bad losses altogther...we're talking about who loses one to two regular season games a year to teams with lesser talent. Stanford is 3-5 on the year. Does Oregon have less talent then Stanford? No and it's not close. While the COVID year is hard to gauge, the fact of the matter is he lost to Oregon State and California, do those teams have more talent? No and it's still not even close. 2019 he cost himself with losing to Arizona State, again with way less talent. In 2018 and although his first year, he lost to Arizona.

So you have a guy who routinely loses to teams with less talent and fails to make the playoffs. How is that going to translate when he moves to a conference where the teams are going to have closer to equal talent and others will have much more; is he going to surprise us and beat those teams? Probably not.

I don't have a perfect coach, at this point in time I'd probably take Mel Tucker because of his background and the discipline/toughness aspect that you see his teams play with. Would he work out? I don't know, you really never know but I'd take a chance on him before hiring a guy who can't get it done when the Pac-12 is the worst it has ever been. If Cristobal is smart he will leave before SC hires a coach that can recruit and beat him regularly.

He would have uga fsu lsu and in most years we get effed on cross divisional opponents. Plus texas and Oklahoma is moving in. It's gonna take more than a below average coach with above average recruiting abilities.

Jay Gruden the PC brother. The Tucker guy at MSU does look acceptable but is a defensive guy. They said something about the finances of him leaving Michigan State having a big buyout clause or something like that.

There is no buyout when you leave. Buyout is if you fire a coach.

Our standalone is a used car lot compared to what they have.

"I really think we need a CEO" is stupid talk. We keep hiring garbage ultra conservative OCs. Frankly we hired the goofiest one, Pirate gives h a run, who thinks offense =QB keeper and has put a 50th or worst offense on the field in 10 of his 12 years as HC.

No matter how much bullshyt people spread,he isnt good, he is average at best, and he is conservative is hell all while running a high risk, low reward offense.

We need a GOOD AGGRESSIVE OC who recruits well. And hopefully we can land a decent DC.

Hiring a CEO type,Butters I guess, and hoping to fix their shortcomings by hiring a lights out OC and DC is a fool's errand. This AD typically finds some toolbag that just got fired somewhere else (hey theyre CHEAP bc Michigan is paying Nuss salary). They ONLY time we opened the AD's purse for an elite DC was Stoopsey.

Weve basically hired two good DCs and one good OC in thirty years. What makes you think your CEO will do better?

Clay Helton hired by Georgia Southern. So knock him off a hypothetical list lol.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Dabo is still an elite coach when he gets a 300million in facitities and recruiting budget.

FIFY.

But he isnt coming.

Damn that buyout.

Im really surprised that wasnt Chimp.

MIDLINE!!!!!

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Dabo ain't leaving Clemson. He's their bear Bryant. That being said he's one of the best and anyone with half a brain knows this.

Pell is their Bear.

Dabo is their Saban.

My description of a CEO type more than answers and contradicts your concerns and objections. A Tom Osborne or Jimmy Johnson type CEO would win national titles. But then you would have known that if you even half-read the post.

While we're on the subject of Mario Cristobal. Did you guys know Joe Moorehead is his OC and is only 48 years old? Holy crap dude, I just seen a picture of him and seriously had him pegged for 70 atleast. ****er must've lived a pretty hard life.

An explosive offense that has a legit downfield passing game will beat a good defense damn near every time. You just can’t do it with an offensive line from the sunbelt. It's not like we hired a good offensive minded guy here.
