Top 5 new football coaches (if it happens)

$15 million buyout. With that number he us staying or we get someone cheap with the change we are left with.

NFL guys are not taking college jobs.

USF coachwill not last long, we need to get him before anyone else does.
 
Monken and Robinson might be coaching deep ball not the NFL playoffs. Can you wait that long?

Cool, anyway, why would he want to coach in the big 12 if he could coach in the sec? It just seems more logical
 
1. Jon Sumrall-Tulane
2. Ryan Silverfield-Memphis
3. Jamey Chadwell-Liberty

I kinda like the Arbuckle option but Im a little hesitant based on his lack of overall P4 experience.

Dude at USF is intriguing. Not 100% sold on those options, but its all moot until something happens with Gundy. Best case he rights the ship and figures out how the game is played now but after last week Im worried hes too far behind the curve to catch up.
 
1. Todd Monken
2. Will Stein
3. Zac Robinson
4. Shannon Dawson
5. Andy Kotelinicki
In this day and age of CFB with how crazy recruiting is, with NIL and transfers and all the bs coaches have to deal with, i'd almost say due to his mostly non existant HC experience, monken has aged out of a massive rebuild job like this. he might get the 40+ yr old fans excited though but will he appeal to the teenagers he'd need to recruit. I dont know anything about how good he is as a recruiter. sure he was at georgia for a little bit, but it's easy to recruit to georgia. recruiting to stillwater is a different animal and i think his limited HC background combined with his age, and he's not a household name in cfb circles. I am sure he'd probably be interested in the job if he wants to be a HC again. and if successful, he'd be more likely to stay.

I like kotelnicki, he's familiar with the big 12, is an innovative OC. a nice swing at a rebuild with an OC who has proven he can call offense. This is who i wanted venables to hire last year. the guy really knows offense and I think he'd be willing to take a big 12 job if he thinks a big 10/sec job isnt on the horizon. but i do think he'd bounce out to a bigger job if he is successful at ok state.

robinson, the nostalgia pick, kind of intriguing. young, might be exciting with recruits, dont know what kind of recruiter he is, cant be worse than what gundy is doing. obviously a good play caller, young enough to be able to deal with navigating a rebuild, and he loves osu so he'd stick through it and maybe even stay if he's successful.

dawson, seems like a good play caller. great offense last year, was that him or was it ward? we will know more this year. probably a decent recruiter from what I can see, but then again, that's with miami's deep pockets for NIL. but there are the obvious concerns for a guy who has been an assistant and a coordinator for 20 years and either never had any HC offers or just didnt want to do it. Maybe he's waiting for the right job like BV was?

Some of the reasons for the names on my list are that I think Weiberg is a pretty conservative AD and would want to bring in someone with successful head coaching experience and each of those guys fits the bill. I didn't consider any head coaches at any power 4 schools because I think the OSU job (as of right now) would be no better than a lateral move for any P4 head coach so I don't see a strong likelihood of getting a head coach from that level. I would assume we would have the resources to out pay Tulane, Memphis, or Liberty. I think all of these elements also factored into Weiberg's hiring of Lutz, who I am very optimistic about. My excitement for football has been squashed, I am excited for basketball now!

If Bill Haisten's most recent article is accurate, Chad Weiberg may not be the one doing the hiring...

Interesting. I’ve been wondering about this since the whole fiasco with the Regents.
 
I would definitely be excited about Monken coming here, but I’m not sure we could get him to return to the college game for the same reasons I don’t think Zac would come here. Until they get some rules and regulations on the transfer portal and on NIL with salary caps, contracts, etc. I don’t think anybody that’s successful in the NFL will want to go to the college ranks. I think the only guys you’ll get are the washed up dudes like Belichick.

Monken is kind of feral. We need someone who can handle all the **** that comes with the head coaching job. If Zac came back, I would be absolutely overjoyed.
