Quote from: Lurk on Sep 27, 2025, 07:05 PMI'd take the Memphis coach, but we're going to struggle finding anyone. If I'm an up and comer, I wouldn't even interview at Arkansas. If I thought we'd throw 10mm at someone, I wouldn't be so onboard hiring Petrino. He is the best we could hope to get. 

Memphis is losing to FAU right now.

It's not a talent problem. It's a coaching problem unless you think LSU and Ole Miss lack talent too. As pitiful as the defense is, we beat ole miss if we don't fumble.  With any kind of a defense we win comfortably.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Sep 27, 2025, 07:08 PMThere really isn't a mid major coach that would be considered a great hire. Maybe Sumrall or Traylor, but neither of those get my piss hot.

You could go the coordinator route. You know Gus will be pandering for it. Briles probably will as well. Has Lunney done enough?

If we go coordinator I hope we don't hire one from Georgia, Ohio State, etc.  Those guys probably don't understand the limitations and how hard they'll have to work to get talent here. 

I'd prefer a lower level HC with a lot of success for that reason.  We need someone who hasn't had an easy path.

I would retort that they beat us, but that doesn't seem to be much of an argument now.
Well, shit...

I hope FAU beats them.  Embarrasses us that much more.

When you've lost Sully and Baz, you're out of luck.  They both think Sam should be fired now and seem to be making a case HY should be gone too.

Where are they talking about this?

We are not a Dollar General program folks...just need to make that clear right now. We've moved down to Habitat For Humanity. We're hoping someone takes us an ex coach and just leaves him on the back dock that might be better than the one we have now which won't be a stretch.

On their postgame podcast.  You can find it on Youtube.

Just don't hire a MFer who has one decent season and then renegotiate his contract and give him a huge buyout. Fuck that. Keep winning, maybe get a raise and if someone wants to poach you and you want to go, bye.
Well, shit...

We will hire a second rate coach.  Probably a retread.  He will win 5 games next year.  He will follow it up with a 7 win season.  We will give him a huge raise/buy out.   Wash, rinse, repeat.

Or maybe do what every other team in the SEC does, make the move and then find the money.  We have a poverty mindset.

I'd hire someone from the SD St, ND St, Montana St coaching tree. Those teams win, play physical and I would think the coaches are looking to move up. They would be use to the "talent" we have.
I need help and I know it.

Exactly. There is a coach out there that is between 35-40 that knows how to win football games. He knows how to coach. He dreams every night of just having a chance to prove himself. Find him.

This is why HY has to go too. THE reason we are here is because of that stupid one-sided contract. Otherwise we couldve shit canned Sam after starting 2-6 in '23 like he deserved.

Yeah, it happens. Here's why I like him. He's 28-11 over 3 seasons with 10-3 his first year, fell off to 7-6 and what made him really stand out was him coming back with an 11-2 team that you know he built. It proved to me that his first year wasn't just successful because of someone else's players.

alex golesh makes $3.5 mil, sumrall at tulane $3 mil. there are good young guys out there with some hc experience. the fans will have to be patient for a couple of years.

lunney runs bert's offense, and not too well. going into today ranked 63rd in total offense, 118th in rushing.
