12/17 Official Coaching Search Thread
- Thread starter Jer
- Start date
I have been thinking about this for awhile. He has brought a terrible KC offense to being a pretty good one. He adapts to his players like at KC running the spread/pistol and using the Slash in Pittsburg. plus he has head coaching experience.
Memo to Marty - university presidents get on planes every day - fundraising and alumni events, seminars, conferences, etc. They don't just stay in their office or on campus. Geoffrey flies all over the country...
I can tell you that Geoffrey was still in ames this morning. He was at the asphalt conference today.
Regarding Pat Hill...
Keith called a bit ago, asking a couple other questions. We got talking about Pat Hill. He saw that Hill kind of scoffed at the mention of ISU. A guy out there that knows Hill told Keith, Hill does this all the time he's rumored about a job and then he'll still go interview.
So I would not put much into that.
Plus, as I told Keith, the guy was getting on a bus to take off to their bowl game. I bet his players were on that bus or very close. What was he supposed to say? "Yeah, I'm very interested!"
No. Hill may not be our guy, but I don't think it's because of his reaction to the questions today.

Isn't this just something made up by M & M?
As clandestine that JP's movements are during coaching searches - why would he have anything leaked about a presser on Friday and having the new coach at the MBB game on Saturday?
The guy can clearly coach and has been rumored a lot over the last several years with it dying down some recently as his teams have not been quite as good but is Fresno not reputed for taking guys of both questionable character and questionable academics...I thought that was the case...but I am not certain. Does anyone have any insight on this front?
From his Wiki page:
Also under Hill's leadership, Fresno State has greatly improved the academic performance of its football players. During Hill's tenure the team has produced (as of 2005) 65 Academic All-WAC players, compared to a total of nine in the entire history of the program before Hill's arrival. In 1999, senior cornerback Payton Williams became the first Fresno State football player to achieve Academic All-American status. In each of the last two years, the Bulldog football program has produced two of the most decorated students on the Fresno State campus.

Not gonna be Pat Hill....it's not the right fit and JP knows it.
There are other, better options. This is all diversion.

Farley was in Ames at Ames High. He just started recruiting because their playoff run just ended.
My concern is itmay take till next week to hire a coach after players went home for XMAS and at home the Kelvin Sampsons of the world will be texting them to come to LaLaLand. Really need to find a coach by Friday or risk busting a whole year of recruiting. If we have to wait till new Years Bowls to be played, we may also lose out in recruiting. We may have a pile of jucos signing in Feb.
That was Tark, the below is true of Hill, he has alot of cleaned up classsy players...
So do I!
