What’s crazy with Mestemaker is that he never even started a game in HS.
And a stupid move on LSU’s part. I will call my cane coin brothers down there and get that ridiculousness stopped.
Nice, that could save OSU the buyout money.
Not sure where to put this, but listening to Jimbo Fisher today on SiriusXM 84 he said you have to have players that want to prove themselves but you better have a hungry coach that wants to prove himself as well orbit won’t matter.
Do with that whatever you will……

Fisher has really grown on me this season. Guy has some really reasonable takes and gives some interesting perspective from a coaches’ point of view.
There’s zero chance that they hire someone who got fired at OSU. LSU is a top 5 job and a place where they fired the last 2 coaches who won national championships.

I would also be surprised if LSU hired him but oddly enough the National opinion of Gundy is a lot higher than the opinion of OSU fans and those of us on this board. He is pretty much universally respected for what he did here the past 20 years nationally with the exception of the last two years.

Do you have an article stating that? I really doubt LSU would hire someone who just got fired from a big 12 school when they are a top 10 job in the country
He’s in the Mike Leach area-seen as successful, but also quirky and bluebloods have generally passed on those types over the years.
It’s also not really odd for the perception to be different on a guy from the local to national perspective. The depth of knowledge about a guy at the local level is always more than what’s known on a national level.

Pretty good analogy with Leach. However, I think most of that quirky reputation aside from the “I’m a man I’m 40” thing back in the day was really generated these last three or four years. Before that he was seen as pretty stable but he definitely earned whatever reservations schools might have about him over how he handled the past few years!

They're probably looking for analysts.

I'm surprised people are so high on Kinne. He's done some good work at Texas State, but that is not a comparable program. And he's 3-5 this year, 0-4 in his conference.
Collins has had good success KState and A$M as an OC, but he's never been subjected to the rigors of a head coaching job. Are we the one's for that experiment? If it doesn't work out, we're stuck with him for three years minimum.
No to James Franklin. A very good coach at Penn State, but one thing he's proven is that he can't win the big ones.
Monken is too feral to be a head coach.
Golesh checks a lot more boxed for me. He turned around a 1-11 UCF team to respectability, and they are playing well in their third year.
Zac is second. College football is now a quarterback's league, like the NFL. Zac knows the position and can bring some guys along to lead us. But again, it would be an experiment with a guy who's never been head coach.

I hear what you’re saying, but it’s also a situation where every head coach has to have a first HC opportunity too. Guys like Brent Key and Clark Lea are faring pretty well. Took Dillingham two years to win a conference and take them to the playoffs.
Forget his name, but the OC @ Georgia Tech is a hot commodity and more so if they keep winning.
I can see Franklin staying in the East and taking the VT job-seems like a fit.
And we will win, in not an ethical or moral way of any kind
Cannot leave Morris off the list based on qualities of Golesh…….
