I was happy with the hire, but it was a risk because of his lack of head coaching experience. It could have worked out, but it didn't. We don't have the luxury to take another chance on a maybe, regardless of what his upside might be. People are running out of patience, and the attendance is getting alarming even by our standards.

Nick Saban, Bobby Bowden and Bear Bryant were once unproven assistants. Every coach was.

For all the clamoring everyone is doing going on about a head coach, the only head coach that UAB can attract is one that is a proven loser or has some other type of baggage. Any small college coach is going to be on the radar of bigger programs and will be just as much a risk as an assistant.

I would rather have a experienced assistant from an established program. One that knows how to get things done in impossible situations than some has been who is counting his days to requirements.

Underwhelming, maybe. A gamble yes. But it pays off and won't be underwhelming when we hit the right one.

How many more chances do we get to hit the right one?

all hires are a risk

RE: Potential Candidates
You guys are in quite a pickle. Basically at this point you have to start from scratch and think like a startup much like Miami and FSU did in the 70's. You need a program builder. It's going to have to be someone who is young enough to still be a go getter and yet someone who has extensive experience in a variety of football organizations. It's going to have to be someone who is used to doing more with less and who has enough connections to bring in some impressive young go getter coordinators and assistants. If they don't show to the interview with a spiral bound book with "the plan" a la Al Golden or like our coach Trent Miles did then thank them for their time and go to the next one. We are not talking about fixing offense or defense here. You have to take this house down to the studs and start over. He is going to have to have an attitude about recruiting that every 3* along I-20 in AL is his. He is going to have to fight for private money to renovate the practice facilities he has since he can't build new ones. It may be an FCS HC we are talking about. If it is a coordinator he HAS to have leadership experience. No time for on the job training.

While I don't doubt what he saying is true, there are people interested in the job that kind of fit the profile he mentions.......will we get the perfect coach? No, but at least we will more than likely upgrade over the last HC.

No, lol. But Parker Executive Search did a great job for us twice (FB and MBB). And we have the most incompetent AD in America and play basketball in a 40 year old 2nd floor walk up gym in a building never designed to be an arena. LOL! So hope springs eternal.04-cheers

I think McGee was looking for a job to use as a stepping stone. Probably figured he would spend 3 years here, get UAB to a bowl and jet. He probably didn't realize it was a building project.

RE: Potential Candidates
What about Dennis Erickson at Utah? Has NFL and NCAA head coaching experience. Making 275k as coordinator. Maybe he is too old, but he would be a big name.

Does anyone know anything about Steve Spurrier Jr.?

I would seriously find an FCS coach who has turned around an even worse situation. He will be happy for the pay bump and will work his tail off.

I can tell you when our coach was announced people were like...WHO!? But then we found out he was the guy who took on the Indiana State disaster. They won 3 games in 3 years before he arrived. He came in with the Plan. He had coached at Green Bay, Notre Dame, Washington and Stanford as an assistant. He ran off 41 players in the first 2 years. They only won 2 games the first 2 years. He then took them to the playoffs twice. So when he took the GSU job he said he had seen much worse with less advantages. Our OC is Jeff Jagodzindki who absolutely should not be an OC at this level. Our QB coach is Luke Huard of the QBing Huard brothers. Our DC is Jesse Minter (son of Rick). Rest of the staff is equally impressive, underpaid and hungry which is why they are killing it in recruiting. Staff is purely here because of connections to Miles. We could have gone with the sexy P5 coordinator hire but those guys are never as hungry.

The Georgia State game kind of scares me. You may have lost all your games this year, but the ones I watched, it seemed like you were going to win them all.

And the #1 JUCO QB in the country drove into our p/l yesterday. Purely because of the OC and QB coach. I think we win 4 or 5 with this QB. 6 if we pick up this JUCO RB on the 24th. So if you guys make the right hire the turnaround can be quick. But it has to be a HC cognizant that this isn't a quick spackle job.

So if you guys make the right hire the turnaround can be quick. But it has to be a HC cognizant that this isn't a quick spackle job.

I hope we steal your OC. 05-stirthepot He's a guy I would target for HC. He is the guy who was at BC right? They fired him for some stupid reason.

I can tell you when our coach was announced people were like...WHO!? But then we found out he was the guy who took on the Indiana State disaster. They won 3 games in 3 years before he arrived. He came in with the Plan. He had coached at Green Bay, Notre Dame, Washington and Stanford as an assistant. He ran off 41 players in the first 2 years. They only won 2 games the first 2 years. He then took them to the playoffs twice. So when he took the GSU job he said he had seen much worse with less advantages. Our OC is Jeff Jagodzindki who absolutely should not be an OC at this level. Our QB coach is Luke Huard of the QBing Huard brothers. Our DC is Jesse Minter (son of Rick). Rest of the staff is equally impressive, underpaid and hungry which is why they are killing it in recruiting. Staff is purely here because of connections to Miles. We could have gone with the sexy P5 coordinator hire but those guys are never as hungry.

The Georgia State game kind of scares me. You may have lost all your games this year, but the ones I watched, it seemed like you were going to win them all.

And the #1 JUCO QB in the country drove into our p/l yesterday. Purely because of the OC and QB coach. I think we win 4 or 5 with this QB. 6 if we pick up this JUCO RB on the 24th. So if you guys make the right hire the turnaround can be quick. But it has to be a HC cognizant that this isn't a quick spackle job.

HC at BC. OC in Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Was Matt Ryan's coach at BC.

Yep, he's our man. LOL How much is he making?

You guys already have a WR who could do for you what TY Hilton did for FIU, I believe. I think we have a WR who could be the next Roddy White. Too bad McGee has screwed up our QB situation so bad. He may not see his full potential until his SR season. I hope I'm wrong though.

He isn't making enough to keep him here much longer

That WR Albert Wilson was a Sr. But Robert Davis (rising Soph.) is even better. CTM and staff have done a great job of recruiting Atlanta and realizing that there a lot of kids who want to stay home and that UGA and GT can't take them all

Your program has tons of potential, just like ours. If you can keep that staff, the sky is the limit.

I can see Jagz leaving for a p5 OC job in a year or two. If he does I expect Huard to step in. Jesse Minter isn't 30 yet, lol. So I think he can make his bones here for a couple of years.
