I think they had and have more legitimacy than ascribed above.
One obvious point: does anyone believe that Scott Cowen just woke up one morning and said "let's spend $10 mill on a football coach"?

Re: Coaching Candidates (All Encompassing)
I think Slatten's responses have been very telling as far as the situation goes. He obviously thought we were going to make a splash and he obviously is not ecstatic about the direction this thing has taken. Just a couple of weeks ago we had people telling us about all these great candidates that w...

Re: Coaching Candidates (All Encompassing)
Word out of Hawaii, no leak of a coach yet. RD laying low and quiet. Tier 2 - 3 now seems more likely. Apparently no one worth while seems to want this job. Similiar to the last searches in football and basketball. I wouldn't trust the dynamic duos either. Sad when you've got big money in hand and ...

Re: Coaching Candidates (All Encompassing)
I like all of ur suggestions OUG. I just get the feeling that if it isn't Leach it will be a 3rd yier candidate because of this self imposed deadline. Scelfo didn't have near the credentials of our 2nd tier candidates (your list) nor most of out 3rd tier. Hr was hired because his brother, a signific...

I hope has our new coach locked up and I hope and it needs to be a tier 1 or 2 coach.
If he's going to introduce a 3rd teir Jagz or Lionel, then he better get ready for the fire that's about to come

Gundy may have wanted him to stay on through the bowl game. They'll have a great shot at being in a high profile BCS game. That makes sense...

Haywood is not next in line after Leach, nor is any other MAC coach. Move on from that. Haywood has real baggage, unlike RR and ML who had faux-baggage. Who are our next in line?

In my opinion if Dickson heads to Hawaii without a coach we should show up at his house with pitchforks. If a trip to Hawaii with a 2-10 team is more important than the future of the program to someone, that someone shouldnt be AD. If we dont offer the exact same thing to Leach we have the 2 stupid...
