Thanks for the well thought out and respectful response. I'm not totally against the guy but my viewpoint is you have to look at and interview several candidates for proper due diligence. There are easily equal or better candidates out there. By no means would be a home run hire , but honestly UK could do much worse.
KY would be a perfect fit for the Marshall HC. Guy was Saban’s right hand man at Bama before his first HC job for the Herd. Has a contract that’s expiring no buyout and could get him for a lot less than anyone else. The guy can recruit and Coach and has a chip on his shoulder!!!
A terrible team? Tulane won 12 games then 11 games the 2 years before he got there lol. Including beating USC in the cotton bowl.
I’m not as much defending brown as much as I’m pointing out how tough that job has become when we’re saying their coach isn’t as capable as stoops. For brown or whomever else ends up there... it’s not a straight 6 wins here, 7 there discussion when there arent three payoff wins. And when satterfield was at UL it might as well have been 4.
Brown could end up here next yr as some sort of offensive quality control …maybe a backup for a midseason switch should Bush struggle
Kind of strange that UNC hasn't made a move yet regardless of who they hire. My thinking is SMU coach Lashlee may be their target.
Everyone is crying for offense, points, and more wins. Maybe everyone may throw up but a proven winner, offense wizard, one of the best play caller with a ton of head coaching experience. I am not sure he would pass the fan's litmus test but Bobby Petrino would greatly improve our football program. He has warts but he would be our warts and the win column would look a lot better than it has here lately. Winning ballgames gets more forgiveness than anything. Bobby rolls into Lexington, turns our down & out football program around and most KY fans would want him to run for governor. I'm just saying, he would have more success than a young Sumrall. Write in his contract, no Harleys, no young friends with benefits. Do those things and in 2 to 3 years we would be giving TN, FL, and South Carolina fits. He would jump at the opportunity for another Head Coaching job, especially in the SEC. He would come for a lot less than we are currently paying for a coach who in 12 years has put us at the bottom of the SEC.
They did but those seasons they also played with a qb that was in the top 10 of every school statistic for his career and AAC Offensive Player of the year. This season they played with a freshman qb. Although that kid is now testing the portal market for more $.
It’s about the ‘right ‘ job , tho. Who in the world would not think Scott Frost , off a 12-0 season at UCF, would not work @ Nebraska? It didn’t , because Nebraska is one of the toughest gigs in America right now . Wait till OK state eventually fires Gundy…expectations will rise or be equal ( 9,10 wins potential playoff every 3-4) for the next guy …and I bet he doesn’t last 4 yrs. UNC is a tough job , gonna be tougher after revenue sharing , as their revenue from ACC TV deals is much less than Big 10 or SEC TV deals . Also , expect some top ACC teams like FSU , Clemson , Ga Tech etc to get plucked away
Barring surprises late , there’s not a usual really active major power 5 carousel this yr. Maybe there’s movement on a couple of playoff staffs
University of Tulsa just hired Tre Lamb from ETSU as their head coach. He is a winner and would have been a GREAT hire for us. In 5 years Lamb will be a coach for a big time program. We could have gotten him for $1 Million and saved us $8 Million a year for Stoops buyout. Remember Lamb's name over the next few years.
