Coaching Prospects

RealisticCy said:
When the time comes for a new coach (should've been after last year, sure looks to be coming after this season) JP has to go mid-major. Getting a coordinator from a successful P5 conference (assuming they would want the job) whose history has been working with superior athletes and high level recruits will turn out just like Chizik and Rhoads. We need someone who has a track record of taking low level recruits and developing them over 5 years into better football players. We will never get recruiting classes full of the best athletes, so we will have to do more with less. Also need to run a system that fits our potential recruits. When everyone runs the spread, it is not an advantage to do the same thing with less talent. We were giving 10 yard cushions to the Iowa WR's; how far back will our CB's be during TCU/Baylor?

Get a young HC and staff that can take a 260 pound Iowa farm kid, put 40 pounds of muscle on him during his redshirt and true freshman years, and turn him into a road grader. A coach that knows how to give inferior talent a chance against better teams. Install an offense that burns clock and keeps the other spread offenses off the field and our own defense fresh. But it all starts with recruiting kids with the right mindset and work ethic, and then developing them and making them better over 5 years. Redshirt nearly everyone, no more relying on JUCO coaches to develop player talent. Do it ourselves, within our system, so we can have juniors and seniors that are invested in the success of the program.

Don't know if it's realistic, but this aligns with my thoughts on our program. I take for granted that we'll not likely get the talent that our competitors have. So we should do more of a Service Academy approach.
 
it wouldn't be popular but I would take a look at mark farley. he's hasn't got a national title but he develops players and his program has a very high floor.

I'm not sure this would work unless there was a specific requirement in his contract that he beat Iowa. Either that or we remove the Cy-Hawk game from the schedule. No way Mark let's Iowa lose to any team he is coaching, even if it were the Buckeyes he'd make sure to prop up the Hawks.
 
Seeing this thread at the top of the page after one loss in a rivalry game is sickening.
