The NEXT Coach

[TC]

Yes. If we're going the G5 route then he's the one we should roll the dice on.

While we're at it, go ahead and take their AD too if he hired both Chesney and Cignetti.

Not the same AD

[wmr]

Yeah but how's their women's soccer program doing?

They have just as many nattys as ours does.

[Borenutz]

Not the same AD

Hire their president too?

Hire their president too?

Until pretty recently my wife worked at VMI so we were in SoCon country, so I got to watch JMU up close in several sports. I'm not sure what their secret is, but they've been pretty impressive across the board for a while now.

Fine, do they have a Board of Trustees that we can also get?

They've had a nice run in hoops the last few years. Remember when they upset Mich St on their court. Believe their softball team was pretty damn good for awhile as well.

If Indiana can do it, so can we.  And we should explicitly follow their blueprint.  Whatever they did, we should do. 

We would smoke Indiana by 21...thru 3 quarters and then lose by 14

I've been to Lubbock and drove like two hours west of there for work one time. I couldn't believe I was still on the planet, much less Texas. 

I went to the Ark game there and drove from DFW.  The immediate campus vicinity was lovely but I felt like I was driving through Mars for a decent portion of that loooooong drive.

[AporkalypseNow]

Go hire the James Madison coach, Chesney, and give him a TT style NIL budget.

He's built programs everywhere he's been. When Cignetti left for Indiana and took half the JMU players with him, it looked like JMU was going to slide to a mediocre program. Now, they have the inside track to a CFP spot at 9-1. He's 48 years old and will bust his ass here.

We could do a LOT worse than this, I'd be happy with it

I'm still a little perplexed Freeze has been such a dud at Auburn after killing it at Liberty, though

The one time I went, we went to Amarillo on I-40 and turned left for 2 hours. 2 hours of nothingness. Then Lubbock appeared. It is surrounded by nothingness. West Texas is vast. I did like the stadium set down in the ground, though.

I like the consistent campus architecture (beige brick with red clay tile Mediterranean) and the tiny downtown nearby blended well with it

Lubbock is hideous once outside the handful of blocks we're talking about

Red dirt with nothing on it, windmills, and old oil wells were all we saw for 4-5 hours

[Son of Spam]

I was in Lubbock for a week one day.

On the bright side, it was nice to be able to take a nap behind the wheel. Just set the cruise control and the car just needs to go straight the whole way.

Random position coach who's never sniffed a head coaching position above the 4th grade

[The Whyte Boar]

Good Lord, Scott Bales or Duckman is on X saying it's Gruden.  That guy is such an embarrassment.

I'm sure things will turn out great. HY won't let us down.

[vegashog]

that idiot has been saying it's gruden since 2012.

[Barton Fink]

Just wait till we announce Hal Mumme.

[Pig Benis]

Just wait till we announce Hal Mumme.

I'll take it.

[The Whyte Boar]

Knowing how pathetic HY is and how he always takes the easy way out I predict that if it isn't BP it's Barry Odom with Petrino as his OC.

If we hire Gruden I'm going to be a OU fan since I was born in Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner!
