I don’t believe that’s the case anymore...if it was it would be more of a topic than it has been...all reports are on whether or not freeze would even take this job...not if he is allowed too
my top 5 to hire and top 5 to avoid and why
- Thread starter CCUIrmo
- Start date
Let's give it a rest. We aren't going after Freeze. He may receive a courtesy interview but we won't offer. It's going to be Beamer, Napier or CCU. I will be happy with any of the three.
Quite honestly, I think the vast majority of the fanbase would be perfectly fine with those results.
We’re hiring a freaking football coach, we aren’t watching the smoke come out of the Vatican to see who’s anointed as the next Pope.
Right now, our team is struggling, and we actually have fans shooting down the idea of Urban or Freeze coming here because they aren’t “likeable”?
No damn wonder some of our fanbase is almost as delusional as Miami’s.
I agree. I love Chadwell....but it's too soon. WAY too big a gamble. He's doing some unique stuff.....but not more unique than Mahlzan did or some early Air Raid stuff at UK that worked so well and carried over to OU 2000 NC to present in top conferences.
I say the same about the AAC . All the Memphis, UCF, USF, Cincy coaches....they have those W/L records because of the conference they're in. They never match that level of success at the respective P5, legit conferences they go to.
I would be surprised if Sankey can dictate to any College or University who they can and cannot hire. However, if its a rule within the SEC then I'll buy that, but I don't think it is because if it were Freeze would have already been discarded from the list.
#1- there is 0% chance Urban would come if offered. Moot point.
#2- very little chance Freeze is strongly considered. If he is considered, he would be an idiot for coming here. Less than 5% chance he is our next coach. 75% chance it will be Beamer or Napier
He can't anymore, but we could get on Sankey's crap list pretty quick. Beside, if we go after him, I think we are getting into another Herman situation. Freeze will play us until he gets more assurances that either the Tennessee or Aubie job is more than likely to come open next year at the latest. He will wait on them.
IF Myer did come here, he would recruit the most immoral players he could find and for a while he would win games. Then he would leave us as bad as when he got here after most of them washed out.
He wants to come here to beat Dabo because Dabo fired him. I think that's his only reason.
I hate to be the one to break it to you but Florida, UGA nor Clemson fear anyone. Especially Hugh Freeze, he is a known commode-ity, scum and South Carolina won't hire him and I'm not sure the SEC will allow him back in anyway. I would make sure the next hire is an Offensive minded coach not merely offensive, he would have a track record of recruiting in the south cause South Carolina is not in an enviable spot recruiting wise. Florida, Miami, UCF, and FSU(still does well) to the south, UGA to the west, Clemson, UNC and Tennessee to the north, plus all the other schools that yearly pull recruits out of this part of the country.
I would hire a younger, energetic, offensive minded guy, give him time cause it is gonna take it, support him in every way possible, which after this season for a lot of schools is going to be financially a struggle. Be thankful that UGA has Kirby who is basically Muschamp just with better players and you can compete with them cause of Kirby's mentality, the Gators and Mullen is a different animal, they are elite and will only get better, winning the East any time soon is out of the realm of possibility. Texas A&M is just better at least until Jimbo runs them in the ground like he did FSU(there are already rumblings out of College Station that he is rapidly wearing out his welcome with little to no accountability and players running rampant. UT will be in the market for a coach again soon so you can compete there, you should beat Kentucky and Missouri at least every other year or more, and Vandy you should never lose to. There is a good chance that malzahn will be out at Auburn either this season or next, and that will free up both Malzahn and Chad Morris but I wouldn't hire either.
A name I would keep an eye on even though this season has been sort of a disaster for him is Scott Satterfield at Louisville, they guy is high quality and an excellent coach and recruiter.
Beamer will not be hired. The mere mention of him makes me chuckle in disbelief. He has done nothing to even be in consideration. I think he has a great pr guy on this board though.
They fear him b/c he's kind of like a scud missile. He can do a lot of damage but is highly unpredictable. He's liable to go off in any game and put up 60 points. But he might also stub his toe against an easy opponent. As I was texting with a friend of mine who is a Clemson fan, he said Freeze was the one guy he didn't want us to get. As we texted, he said Freeze was the kind of guy who could actually beat Clemson from time-to-time but said he's also the kind of guy who's gonna drop clunkers to someone he should beat. He's not the least bit concerned that Freeze would turn into us a top-tier SEC team. It's just his propensity to knock of a really good team here or there.
His last season at Ole Miss is a good example. He beat #8 A&M and then got the life beat out of him by a bad Miss St. team a couple weeks later. In 2013 he beat a top 10 LSU team that finished 10-3 but then lost to a Miss St team that finished 7-6. In 2014, he beat Bama but got his a*s stomped by a 7-6 Arkansas. Even in his best year, 2015, one of his losses was to Memphis who was good for sure, but a top flight SEC team should be able to manage a win over Memphis any year.
For every win over UGA or UF, we'd lose to Kentucky or Vandy.
