Coaching Search Thread

I'm going to throw this out there just for the sake of discussion and knowing full well it's not going to change anything but...

Jamie is very, VERY anti-the new world of college athletics. Are we completely confident in him making the right hire in 2025? It's even so much different than the TJ hire.

I just worry about him putting his accountant pants on and not being able to guarantee the next guy that he'll have the tools to compete.

Who has been coaching the Montana schools lately.. they always seem to be decent
Bobby Hauck (Montana) who failed at UNLV and left them on probation and Brent Vigen (MSU) who is off the Craig Bohl tree and probably isn't ready for a job at this level.

I disagree. Pollard has seen this coming for a long time and has been building for it. But there are financial limitations.

I absolutely agree.

Look no further than taking the $1M from Players Era and not immediately and directly pumping it back into the basketball team.

That is absolute malpractice.
 
What about Terry Smith? He went 3-3 as PSU HC with losses to #1 tOSU, #2 Indiana, and one point loss to #23 Iowa. But won the last three games with a team that had zero expectations and could've just caved in on themselves. Plus, we'll be rescuing him from the Pedos...

Nah he was running around the sidelines at their last home game wearing one of those stupid "Joe 409" buttons. He's clearly one of them.
 
Short term I think Heacock is the best chance we have at keeping this roster somewhat intact. I say "short term" knowing Jon is in the twilight of his career. Give him a short term deal with an eye to the future, then someone close to the orbit of this staff can be named his successor.
