Coaching Carousel

[Hoo's That]

Hey! Get you rumors here!
Don't know if there is a kernel of truth or another "kissing Justin Bieber" chain at work here, but:
Rumor from south Florida that Richt was going to Miami all along and that he was using negotiating w/UVa as a ploy to get a bigger budget for assistants' salaries from Da U.
Rumor from central Virginia, Jeff Brohm was at the UVa-VPI game.

My POV. With a salary under 3.0M, the window for success is small. Cuse can't buy a savior, thus no FBS head coaches need apply! Now I look to top assistants. East Coast, Character recruiter, Successful track record at a top school. Last but not least, outside ACC. I'm left with assistant coaches from Ohio State and Penn State. Then I read, FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman says "Two other potential options for the Tulane coaching vacancy are...and Penn State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop, who was instrumental to James Franklin's success when they got Vandy turned around." Per his bio, "He has coordinated units that have finished in the Top 25 nationally in total defense in each of the last four years."

Even when you add assistants from BC, Wisconsin, and Northwestern, Shoop looks like a great candidate! Yet none of my Orange brethren regurgitate anything outside the box and inside reality. its either blah blah blah, what he said or chuckle chuckle funny haha.

As I step off my soap box, I wonder who will rise to my challenge. Who among the Orange faithful will find the next great head coach that Cuse woulda coulda shoulda hired?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Wow. That is weird.

 

[orangenirvana]

East Carolina has fired Ruffin McNeill

Wow. These mid-majors mean business!

 

[CuseLegacy]

Wow. These mid-majors mean business!

No. I think there is something more there. He is an alum.

 

[USMCSnyper]

interesting...Kirkpatrick (ECU) just visited Robert Washington too...any chance we could mend fences with Dino at the helm?

 

[retro44]

I can't see all these links on my work computer

quit your job then...

 

[orangeinjersey]

Wow. These mid-majors mean business!

Houston, UCF, Memphis et al know that the big12 is going to expand again at some point. Having a top flight Football program is definitely going to help in those aspects.

 

[Crusty]

If the AAC keeps this up they will be equal to the Big 12.

I thought UA was in Tucson?

Lincoln Nebraska

 

[texascpa]

Wow, I know they had a less than stellar year, but he had them in bowls several times under his reign.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Wow, I know they had a less than stellar year, but he had them in bowls several times under his reign.

And embarrassed UNC last year.

 

[orangeinjersey]

And embarrassed UNC last year.

so did Rutgers. What a turn of events going on down there.

 

[orangenirvana]

Wow, I know they had a less than stellar year, but he had them in bowls several times under his reign.

They may think that Lincoln Riley was responsible for most of ECU's success under Ruffin. Now that he's gone...

I love the desperation here:

 

[texascpa]

So, Muschamp is offering jobs for positions he isn't authorized to hire for because he doesn't have the job yet?

 

[mk75]

Nice of you to stop by the board, Bob. But I think our fan base would revolt if we hired you to be our head coach. There will probably be some non P5 schools you could start out at as a head coach though.

finally! a lucid pov! thanks! but i still disagree. some may revolt. Name a better East coast candidate.

yeah, he is an SEC guy and all. they dirty themselves up here and there :0

 

[mk75]

Technically, neither is PA.

A state (PA) with a port city (Phil) on the Atlantic is not east cost? lol what?

 

[mk75]

Right, no one here has thought outside the box at all. Like, for example, that multi-page thread about Beau Baldwin. He's a completely inside the box choice.

Serious reply: I'm one of many Cusians that think our best hope is with an east coast guy. Did you notice this guy never heard of Mexico, NY? nor Jeanette, PA, nor Olney, MD?
Not Serious reply: Santa Barbara, Washington (not DC)? If Beau Baldwin is successful, just how long do you think he'll stay?

 

[Ozcuse]

finally! a lucid pov! thanks! but i still disagree. some may revolt. Name a better another East coast candidate.

I'm not sure Bob Shoop who has a 7-23 record as HC of Columbia University would instill hope in the Syracuse fan base. The guy may be a wonderful defensive coordinator when he has talented players but I would like to see him prove himself again as a HC somewhere else before giving him control of Syracuse football.

I didn't know that the Delaware River was the Atlantic.
So, where does Pennsylvania border the Atlantic Ocean, again?

Using your definition, Poughkeepsie is on the Atlantic coast as well.
Edit: actually, Poughkeepsie is more coastal than Philly as you don't need to go through another state to get there from the Atlantic.

Would love a similar quote from Babers at his (hopeful) SU presser
'I'm going to finish coaching here'

And if a school wanted to go the Ivy route, Tim Murphy at Harvard has an impressive track record and was one of the names originally mentioned on our board.

Just look at all that beachfront property in Philadelphia:
