Coaching Search Thread

I mean, aside from him being Rocco's dad, he has had pretty good success coaching in STL. He was in the running to be WVU's next coach.

the idea of AB being our next coach is intriguing to me. starting to grow on me a bit

Paul Chryst?!? did I miss the jimlad?

First call is Nate.

Second call should be Sean Lewis

Third Call should be Jason Eck

Fourth call and a last resort would be Candle.

Why would we go after Sean Lewis. He has had two winning season in 8 as a head football coach. I am confused. Our program would die if a coach had that record with us.

I could see Mouser in an attempt to keep players and commits.

Honest question— does this work out well historically? Keeping the assistant to keep the current team. I feel like this fails more than it works out if the new guy isn’t truly ready or good enough to be the head coach.

Also— is an approach to keep the current team dead on arrival so not even worthy trying?

PSU will pay players more, players apparently like Campbell. It might be not worth the time.

I love Anthony but that would be a pretty short sighted choice. Navigating the current landscape of college football is a way way different and bigger job than coaching in the UFL.

Brian Daboll?

Doubt he would be interested in our job.

he won 7 games at KENT STATE, TWICE.

wouldn't Scheelhaase have to wait until his season's over?

 

[Loyalsonsince81]

Jamie will want someone with a head coaching track record. He's been down the assistant route. And in this era with all the attrition that goes with a coaching change, the ability to have players and staff follow you is important.

He was ready to put Otz in his first HC position. If he thinks Scheelhase is ready, JP will pull the trigger.

 

[mkcrawford]

Daboll??

Indiana OC Mike Shanahan (No relation to the NFL Shanahans from what I can see)

Why not promote from within & keep continuity? Rasheed as HC, Clanton OC, Broomfield DC (assuming Heacock retires), just some mix of existing staff?

Paul Chryst > Mouser or Woodley or some other names I’ve seen tossed

 

[Mike From Iowa]

Brian Daboll?

Unlikely. He had no interest in PSU. He is 100% an NFL guy and admits he has few college coaching connections. Would have a very hard time building a staff.

 

[madguy30]

It'd be gross and will never happen but for entertainment purposes someone like Urban Meyer if you want to win a lot soon even it's probably super corrupt before he leaves after like 2-3 seasons.

Bama's OC? Originally from Iowa

 

[Nor'MidWester]

It really sucks this happened right after signing day.

Really ****** sucks that Penn State ****** up all their other options throughout this season long coaching search and we are the ones who get ****** for it. I know Campbell wouldn't have left during the season but it would have been better for us if he had.
