I am in no way a fan of Maturi, but I get the idea some of you are looking at this search differently than I did. We all think we've pieced together this thing and know what was going on. This is what i thought of the process.
We had to wait all season for these coaches to make their...
If Illinois and NIU played right now there would be no clear favorite. Think about that. A very wise coach once said an eye for talent is twice as important as a mouth for recruiting.
Just thought I would share this. It is the Rivals Team rankings from 2007, which would be relevant to this season.
Top 5
1. Florida
2. USC
3. Tennessee
4. LSU <--- Only one they got right.
5. Texas
Others from the top 20
8. Notre Dame
9. Georgia
12. Michigan
16. Clemson
19. Miami
20. Illinois...
106 miles from Philadelphia is where Brian Billick still resides in the city of Baltimore. Remember the horton smoke screens conversation, why else would he land so class to a serious candidate? He has been waiting to get back into coaching, and he has said he needs a job where he feels...
If someone has Maturi's E-mail that would be great, he could use some science since he looks like a smart man.
Petersen scores a 306 (50pts for each Paul Bryant award)
Leach scores a 304
Randy Edsall 264
Golden scores a 260
Kill scores a 259
Hoke scores a 257
Shannon scores a 155
Trestman scores...
Word has been the university has there mystery man. Golden was linked as the final 4, and has been real quiet the whole time to combine with a very media stingy search firm. His team is 8-4 and are waiting to find out what bowl they will be in. The fact they went 5-3 in the conference will...
I think he would do a good job as the coach, and he definitely has the experience. With a good offensive and defensive coordinator he could lead quite a team into TFC come next fall. We need to give Joel a shot here people.
If stanford needs a coach, Hoke is considered to be the frontrunner. He would be able to stay close to home there, and keep his recruiting connections. Lots of speculation that if Harbaugh stayed at Stanford, and RichRod was fired, they too have Hoke at the top of their list. He coached 8...
two on the road are Wisky for the big then opener where we will be 12-0 and going into the Kohl center. The other is on the road against Penn St. but they probably won't even halfway fill the place even though it's on ESPN. With only one game this year against WISC, and 1 against the Illini we...
The same momentum that has hurt Sumlin's stock and has helped Ken M lately? 65-30 Northern Illinois beats an undefeated conference team in Toledo. Gray could look like Harnish who has looked unstoppable at points this season. With the Lineman we have coming in here he could install a legit...
A big name is as all great until reality sets in. If we don't get wins it doesn't matter who the coach is. If we get wins, there will be excitement. The coach from Navy would be a great get and I can't believe how many people complain he isn't a splashy enough hire. Wins will get excitement...
