RE: FAU Interviews Ohio State DC Luke Fickell for HC position
Fickell would be an excellent hire. I do think that candidates from the current staff should be given a chance to impress but Fickell would be really, really good. IF he were to bring the spread option with him to Boca, y'all could really make some noise, especially with the D you already have in place. Keep the DC and most of the D staff and let Fickell bring in the rest.

Does Fickell have any state of Florida connections ?

Recruiting, Recruiting, Recruiting (and relationships with the high school coaches there)-- esp. in Dade and surrounding counties

I'd venture a guess that with Meyer on board, he's developed some connections now over the last 2 years.

Would be far from a terrible hire but I think they defintely need an offensive mind. If Fickell is brought in, hopefully they can get a good OC to improve the offense.

IMO, that hire would be a home run.

I'm surprised about this, but because of the timing aspect which is unusual to be interviewing this early. Precisely because of that, I believe it's a great move by Chun and FAU to get going before everyone else. Good luck in your search, FAU.

What about James Coley?

Manny Diaz as DC?



Get those Miami guys in there.

Hope the interim HC gets a shot at remaining with the staff. Seems like a good dude.

I think if Wright (interim coach) can pull out wins for the remainder of the season he will be considered, he has already been spoken to Chun about it.

As for staying on, it is a possibility, he is part of the Tressel/Ohio State group.

GO OWLS!

RE: FAU Interviews Ohio State DC Luke Fickell for HC position
This is by no means a done deal either. Supposedly he was being considered for P5 jobs last year. Im sure he's the top target, but you dont always get those.

I'm glad our AD is out front and early on this though. Hard core recruiting season is coming up VERY fast.

OMG, do not hire Mark Snyder. Run away from that rumor as fast as you can!

Yeah I saw that too. Who knows though. Im sure it was not a "Formal Interview" but it wouldnt surprise me if Pat Chun drove up after the baseball meetings to have a chat with Fickell at a bar to discuss.

Screw Urban Meyer. He is an opportunist is more than anybody. If FAU wants Luke Fickle to be there coach then good for them getting to it. Hiring a coach prior to bowl season helps a lot with recruiting. Just ask old Urban, he broke a ton of recruiting rules recruiting for OS while LUKE was coaching. SMH.

Isn't it funny how when FIU (Butch Davis) or FAU (Luke Fickle) go for big time coaches, everybody loses their minds? I mean I'm sure if Butch would have been going to Purdue or Wake Forrest know one would have blinked an eye but one of these S. Fla schools makes a play, the draw bridge goes up and the turrets are manned. Makes one wonder what their so scared of.

Reminds me of when an FAU linebacker said Alabama could be beat. Not that FAU would or can do it, but that somebody can beat them. ESPN had a field day on how some hoodlum at such a terrible program could even imagine beating Bama.

I might be confused, but are you trying to say Davis and Fickle are similar? Davis is proven, Fickle failed miserably at his one year HC audition.

Had to do with Urban Meyer saying "he better not have interviewed for the FAU job". I mean really, is FAU really such a threat Urban? Are they going to steal a recruit or two from you? Correct me if I'm wrong but do other programs get the 'third degree' when they begin the interview process for a replacement coach.
