We don't want Kendal Briles...

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:21 pm

hey, it worked once. Why not again?

Bigschtick · Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:35 pm

Speak for yourself!

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:58 pm

He's too young and inexperienced.

Jonathan · Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:02 pm

Do not tell us who we do not want. Our new AD will select the best candidate. Get a life.

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:07 pm

I have a life, Jonathan. I am sorry that you life is so pathetic that you must troll message boards to put down other people.

Jonathan · Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:12 pm

You are a very sick individual and needs major help.

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:18 pm

Is that your reaffirmation speech that you say into a mirror every day?

greenphantom · Mon Dec 07, 2015 4:24 pm

My mind would be completely blown if it turned out Jonathan and austxwave were the same person and he was arguing with himself.

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 4:43 pm

ha! that would be mindblowing but I can assure you that we are not one in the same.

I really don't want someone inexperienced like Briles so I figured i'd start this thread because it worked on BB.

DrBox · Mon Dec 07, 2015 4:51 pm

While I do agree with this thread (too inexperienced; I don't trust the Briles'), we don't want them paying THAT much attention to these threads. After all, there is a "We want Larry Coker" thread, satire as it is.

He may not be my first choice, I wouldn't Mind him at all. Don't get the hate.

Limited coaching experience, has only worked for his dad and already been suspended by the NCAA, not a very deep / experienced resume...and again, what qualified assistants would want to work for him, except for this year he has zero track record...There are some people in Waco that want him fired !!!

There are some fans of every team who want their coach fired!!! That doesn't make them right!!!
He has years of track record as a good recruiter!!! He's learned from one of the best offensive minds in college football!!! He has done some playcalling before this season at Baylor as well!!!

I think there's a difference between being a recruiter as an assistant and being the head coach. I think an assistant can be the cool young guy that buddies up to you. From the head coach, families and recruits expect something different. In loco parentis and all that (right or wrong).

Kendall is a bit of a DudeBro. I'm sure he is a great guy to have a beer with. I'm not seeing him as a HC at this point. You know how Dannen came in and right away demonstrated preparation, confidence, and a sense that he'd been there and done that? We need to duplicate that with our football hire.

I trust TD, but OUG put it perfectly. Brohm is the guy.

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 6:37 pm

I want proven, sustained success with a background at successful programs.

We cannot take another chance on a "recruiter" or someone with only 1 year of success as a HC (Monken) or someone with 1-2 years of success as a coordinator.

We don't have room for error this time. Other than the names I suggested in another thread (Brohm or Marrone), everyone else discussed has a hairy mole on their faces or a third nipple...figuratively speaking.

golfnut69 · Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:21 pm

here are several bios...
Doug Meachum.... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... 2125,d.cWw

Lincoln Riley....https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... nW2lYWVJaQ

Jeff Brohm....https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... BHaI7kX5KQ

Kendall Briles... this will be short one.....https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... i0Q-i_-kfA

Well my man, it's going to be pretty tough to find a guy who is just a perfect candidate. Those guys usually have pretty good jobs already and aren't going to take this job

austxwave · Mon Dec 07, 2015 8:02 pm

Wizard, I don't disagree, but this would be a step up for Brohm. I have no connections with Brohm, but if you look at his bio objectively, he meets the criteria that I spelled out.

I fully believe the Tulane job is a big step up from the W. Kentucky job.

Who knows...maybe he isn't even interested?

TU23 · Mon Dec 07, 2015 8:13 pm

Brohm said today that he had options but is happy where he is and will be staying at WKU.

Excellent! Just like when Nick Saban said he wasn't leaving the Dolphins.

Right on, OUG!

Briles would bring energy, excitement and Speed to Tulane.

Do not tell us who we want. The decision will be made by our new AD. The comments on this thread mean nothing.
