Who would you hire?

Some familiarity with the Tech program I think helps with the future so….

Sonny Dykes – HC – Shown positive success at La. Tech and moving in the right direction
Seth Littrell – OC – Stepped to East Carolina and shown he can quickly involve a high scoring offense.

I still think Glasgow needs the benefit of the doubt with getting players in and Tech suffering 3 different defenses in 3 years. I think with offenses in the top 10 from the Big 12 you just need someone vaguely competent. I’d like to take either Chris Ash or Charlie Partridge from Wisconsin.

If we wanted a combo HC/DC then maybe John Chavis from LSU.

June Jones HC, June Jones OC, Chris Ash DC

HC- Kevin Sumlin: Knows Texas recruiting, was a damn fine offensive coordinator before stepping up, builds programs.

OC- I’d actually prefer the head coach to be either the O or D coordinator as I’m finding this whole CEO head coach experience to be a bit of drag, but if I have to name someone else, I’ll go out on a limb and see if I can get Scott Frost to bring some of that Oregon zone-read option down to Lubbock

DC- Ron Cooper, defensive backs coach at LSU. He’s been a head coach and coordinator at various stops around the country and in plenty of systems.

HC Chip Kelley
OC Seth Lettrell
DC Ellis Johnson

Budget Coaches
HC Charlie Strong
OC Seth Lettrell
DC Brick Haley

HC – Sumlin
OC – Gus Malzahn
DC – Kirby Smart

II
HC – Chris Pedersen
OC – Lincolin Riley
DC – ?

HC:
1. Larry Fedora at Southern Miss. 3rd team in the state and yet can recruit and still win. 30-18.
2. Kevin Sumlin of Houston. 33-16
3. Chris Ault, HC of Nevada. 224-100-1. essentially been with Nevada since 76.
we need a head coach that is committed to the program and will stay to build for the long term.

OC & DC
let the new head coach

sorry to break the rules, but i didnt want to do the research on the other positions. oh wait, i know, Norm Chow for OC. He taught Leach in Leach’s coaching infancy. Dunno how those coaching styles match up, dah well.

 You will have to open the bank and pay what it takes to get :

1. Successful Div I Head Coach with a 5 yr history of being Div I head coach.

2. Complete staff would be willing to come ($$$$$$) including both coordinators.

3. Ability to recruit Texas and Oklahoma – Ability to recognize underrated athletes

4. Knows how to excite players, fans, and donors

5. Young enough to have emotions and old enough not to fool himself.

Bonus:
                   Previous Tech staff or alumni
                   Previous recruiting in Texas and Oklahoma
                   Like being in college town

I have had season tickets to U of H for a while. Their head coach and offensive staff are attractive but the defense is scary bad at times. However they totally dominated ECU to a point where ECU couldn’t even get a first down.

So for those of you who think any staff from ECU would be a positive need to re-examine your views.

If U of H is able to finish undefeated against SMU. Tulsa, and Southern Miss., and do well in a bowl game I would go after the staff immediately.

By the way it took me one half to recognize Ruffin McNeil on the sideline since he has lost a bunch of weight.

HC: Les Miles
OC: Gus Malzahn
DC: Kirby Smart

Since that will NEVER happen, heres a more realistic choice for me.

HC: Kevin Sumlin
OC: Kliff Kingsbury
DC: Randy Shannon

Hc
1. Art Briles
2. Kevin Sumlin
3. Gus Malzahn
Oc.
1. Kliff Kingsbury
2. Gus Malzahn
3. Lincoln Riley
Dc.
1. Chad Glasgow(I’ve seen this d in person and its not totally Russian coffees fault)
2. That guy from smu that I can’t name
3. John Chavis….. Can’t I dream?

HC- Sumlin
OC- Kingsbury
DC- If they hire the first two I could care less.

My preference is to bring in someone who is familiar with an offense we ran at some point in time. With Keenum graduating I think SUmlin would be a great pickup this year. Kingsbury mainly b/c i think he would make a great long term coach after sumlin.
I dont think Licoln riley would ever come back after ’09, but I guess a large sum of money can cause anyone to forget.

1. Butch Jones
2. Gus Malzhan
3. Kevin Sumlin
4. Kirby Smart

OC (since all those are offensive coaches sans Smart I’ll just take…cause I miss him)
1. Kliff Kingsbury

DC
1. Russian Coffee

2.

You can’t ask what people think & then tell them they can’t think what they think. Until the previous coach lands in a new job, this can be fixed, with a reasonable amount of cash (less cash than the Ad will lose in lost ticket sales next year) and a massive mea culpa. Or more likely a resignation of the Chancellor.

Sumlin-HC
Riley or Littrell- OC
It won’t matter cause this AirRaid would be back and the defense could lean on the O!

HC Kevin Sumlin

OC Chris Thompsen

DC Russian Coffee

those that we already know. Then I’d humble myself to the highest level
and crawl on my belly like a snake to to florida keys and beg leach. with
emphasis on beggin. Its worth a try.
DC — would be the mystery chick!

An offensive guru that’s a bit over-looked right now, but won’t be for long, Clemson’s Chad Morris. Also has deep ties to Texas high school. This would be a perfect fit (although I’m not expecting Tuberville to be fired).

And if you’re wondering about how his offense is doing:

The only downside is that he graduated from TAMU, but I’m willing to overlook that.

1. Gus Malzahn. currently OC at Auburn.
During the 2007 season Malzahn emerged as one of the premier offensive coordinators in the nation, as Tulsa ranked 1st in the nation in total yards per game, ahead of Texas Tech and Hawaiʻi, and with a more balanced attack than both teams.4 The Golden Hurricane also ranked 3rd in the nation in passing5 and led their conference in scoring. Tulsa became the first team in NCAA history to have a 5,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and three 1,000-yard receivers in a single season.67

After the regular season, Malzahn interviewed for the open position at Arkansas once Nutt resigned in November 2007.8

“In 2008, Tulsa was again the nation’s most prolific attack, leading with nearly 7,980 total yards of offense averaging 570 yards per game.9 The Golden Hurricane were ranked 2nd in the nation in scoring behind Oklahoma, scoring over 47 points per game.10 Tulsa not only ranked 2nd in the nation in scoring that year, but finished with the 2nd highest scoring offense in the history of major college football. The offense was also the nation’s most balanced attack, ranking 5th in the nation in rushing11 and 9th in passing.12 The Tulsa quarterbacks finished 3rd in the nation in passing efficiency, behind only Oklahoma and Texas.”

2. Larry Fedora current HC at Southern Miss
Fedora played wide receiver at Austin College before starting his coaching career as a graduate assistant there in 1986. He spent four seasons as head coach at Garland High School, a powerhouse in Texas high school football, but then returned to the collegiate ranks, coaching tight ends, wide receivers and running backs for six seasons (1991–96) at Baylor. Fedora moved on to coach the passing game and receivers at United States Air Force Academy from 1997–98, before he became offensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State University in 1999. In 2002, he was hired by Ron Zook to join his coaching staff at the University of Florida. Fedora served as run game coordinator in 2002, perimeter game coordinator in 2003 and offensive coordinator in 2004. During those three seasons, Fedora also coached the running backs and receivers.

In 2005, Fedora joined Mike Gundy’s staff at Oklahoma State. His brother, Lee Fedora, serves as head coach at Navasota High School in Navasota, Texas. His other brothers John Fedora and Bruce Fedora live in College Station and Austin.

As one of the most prolific offensive strategists in college football, Fedora drew several assistant coaching offers from top-tier schools including LSU and Alabama as well as some head coaching offers including Rice and Air Force.2 Earning $393,000 a year at Oklahoma State, Fedora was one of the top paid offensive coordinators in the country. In November 2007, Fedora was rumored to be a candidate for the then-vacant head coaching job at Baylor University, that eventually went to Art Briles.3

…..and add to the bylaws that our QB must be at least the son (preferbly the grand son, too) of a great HS coach from at least a 3A school, our place kicker must has a hispanic last name (after all we are the matadors) and I like the LSU punter so well add that the punter must be Australian

HC- Chuck Norris

OC- SARR

DC- our very own Seth…(cant’ get $hit past this dude)

… The BCS would concede the National Championship shortly after halftime of our second game.

I am unknown, but I know what I am capable of. And that simple fact makes me very dangerous. Mike Leach knows what he was capable of. His only issue was that he wasn’t as diligent with defense (and trust me, there is an ultimate defense just like a ultimate air raid offense… you just have to know how to use it).

Hire me.

He can be both HC & OC. Can use the smaller, speedy recruits at the skill positions and Brewer could work his system as a dual threat.

He was never a fit at Michigan because of the Michigan Man crap and his recruits are still playing effectively despite changing to a more pro-style offense under Hoke.

He has never been able to recruit Texas due to geography, but he can make the 3 stars & 4 stars play up. We need someone that recognizes the deficiencies in recruiting against OU & Texas and will coach his players up.

I would like to see Mike Martz as OC and HC. He of the “Greatest Show on Turf” St. Louis Rams fame. He would definitely keep a vertical, pass first offense alive at Tech. He’s currently the OC of the Chicago Bears, and I don’t know if he has any ties whatsoever to the state of Texas. Just imagine him walking into a recruits’ home flashing a Super Bowl ring on his finger (‘99 as OC with St. Louis) and spouting out names like Faulk, Warner, etc. Of course, it would take some money to make this happen, and there would probably be constant talk/rumors of him going back to the NFL when any openings happen to arise. I think it’d be interesting to see what he could do with his offense at the college level.

HC: Urban Meyer – Ex-Florida
OC: Todd Monken – OSU
