12/17 Official Coaching Search Thread

I think we should just cut through the crap, give Cael Sanderson a 1 year bonus to just be a motivational speaker for the football team, and hire a bunch of quality asst's who can run the x's and o's.
I'm not even a fan of wrestling, but that guy could motivate me to hit the line a bit harder.
That will give Pollard another year to make up his mind. Heck, we are always saying "wait till next year" anyway. We might as well put our money were our mouths are, literally.
 
This just in: Matt Damon was seen having lunch with JP at the Wendy's in the Dallas International Airport. Ben Affleck was quoted as saying "this is a done deal and I will be the new OC, Clooney is going to take care of the D."

This whole "his wife is from Ames" is getting a bit crazy. Instead of trying to figure that stuff out, why don't we go after a single guy for our head coach and sell him on the fact that the strange in Ames is out of this world. Then in the future we would all know that coach X's wife is from Ames. Problem solved.
 
um....no.

Todd Graham

From Wiki on Todd Grahm

After signing the extension with Rice, Graham accepted the head coaching position at the University of Tulsa. It was later revealed that none of his negotiations with Rice were in earnest, as he was negotiating his contract with Tulsa during the breaks in the Rice contract negotiations. This controverisal move did not sit well with many in the Rice community. On November 24, 2007, when Tulsa played Rice at Rice Stadium, the Rice University Marching Owl Band presented a halftime show named "Todd Graham's Inferno"[4] (based on Dante's "The Divine Comedy") which implied that Graham had entered a special circle of Hell when he abandoned Rice for Tulsa. The use of the word "*********" in reference to Graham resulted in a formal protest to Conference USA by Tulsa's athletic department. Chuck Throckmorton, the marching band's director, later apologized for offending anyone, but not for the show.
 
Question:
When the coordinators were reassigned, it was mentioned that we wouldn't hear anything for a while because some law required the job openings to be posted for at least two weeks. Now people are saying we'll have a head coach on Friday, that's only 6 or 7 days. Does the two week rule not apply in this case? If not, why?
 
Why aren't we going after the Bronco Mendenhall (BYU), Skip Holtz (E. Carolina), Kyle Whittingham (Utah), June Jones (SMU), Chris Peterson (Boise St), Pat Hill (Fresno St)? All proven head coaches at non-BCS schools! The search makes no sense if these are the finalists!

This sounds strangely familiar...

On Monday JP said mum was the word about this whole coach search situation... I know everyone is just speculating because were all so anxious to get an answer. However Im not going to fret over anything until I hear a statement from JP. I highly doubt JP called ESPN and told them that he had it narrowed down to those 4.
 
I'd be willing to bet that Pollard gets someone that is mentioned very few times by the media or this board but who knows.
