Speaking of Central Arkansas, we should really go get Steve Campbell. He's taken that awful program and has them 9-1 and ranked #11. I said it years ago when he was still at Gulf Coast that he would do a great job here. But knew nobody would go along with hiring a juco coach. Hope we haven't missed our chance.
..yes, this is what "oui" should do...fire one FCS coach and hire another...gosh golly, I sure hope we haven't "missed our chance" with him.
"I think I'll just shoot myself."
Need a bullet, Barney?
ol' Barney has never played a down in his life...
and to 9's point, one has to start somewhere....not all have the golden spoon attached at the hip....
with our athletic budget and support mechanisms in place, it's going to be tough to hire anyone that has HC experience other than a Petrino or LE.....(I wish I could punch a few that thought Petrino would've been a bad hire here....they're the same that ran LE off)
does this mean that hiring someone from a lower tier is not acceptable? of course not....however, every coach we've had over the last couple of decades was once an OC with the exception of E12Loss....let that sink in for a moment....
going back further, Curley got lucky with Brett....and Big Nasty was coaching when X's and O's were much slower....we don't have that luxury anymore....
Hop's future is now on KH and More Ito's legs....and I question if he and Dawgshite have a clue how to make that function properly at this level.....hell, they completely destroyed the confidence of our leading passer in the history of southern miss football.....
it's like watching the Green teams at the Yurt all over again......
at some point, folks that are responsible for hiring need to understand the sport as it exists today at our level....
we need someone at the helm that understands offense backwards and forwards whilst in REM stasis.....we can't recruit nasty bunch style anymore....that option left the bldg long ago....at least fedhat (although he held onto BADford 2 yrs too long) and Monk had that part of the equation figured out....
