while i don't think we'll get skip holtz either.. you'd have to imagine that ecu is not his dream job.

i meant he is not leaving em after this year, he has built em up from nothing to almost cusa champ status, he's not just gonna ditch em now

^ if he got offered a job at a bigtime football school (no, not us), i guarantee you he'd leave ecu. that's how you play the coaching game.

11/25/2006 12:43:24 AM

well no shit

11/25/2006 12:54:05 AM

remember when we were 1-0 after beating app state... and our national title hopes were still alive

11/25/2006 1:18:42 AM

actually, I never had any BCS hopes

11/25/2006 2:56:29 AM

This has taken over my life....wow

Cowher would be ideal, however i like Norm chow and getting reggie herring back i think that team would work very well, also if we're having trouble finding someone instead of letting coaches around the nation use us to get raises for their athletic departments I say we hire lou holtz as interim, hes a good coach he needs a better send off into retirement and we've had a coach with chronic larangitis a lisp can't be that much worse.

I'm hearing the short list is...

- Cowher (depending on whether or not he's that serious about taking the "year off")
- Paul Johnson (who I'd love)
- Norm Chow


Bunch of guys after that, but these are guys we've been in contact with for a few weeks and get the first opportunity to turn us down (that's the "basketball, pessimistic coaching search"-side of me).

11/26/2006 10:17:26 AM

and who are you hearing this from?

11/26/2006 10:21:56 AM

How good is paul johnson?

11/26/2006 10:33:51 AM

He's the shit in my opinion. He's done great things in both of his previous jobs.

11/26/2006 10:42:30 AM

^ sigh, NO!

11/26/2006 11:00:42 AM

If we end up with Chow. god knows we have to find a good DC. please oh please dont mess that decision up.

11/26/2006 11:04:22 AM

Norm Chow is not coming back, just let that go. And, State can't even talk to Cowher until January, and you don't want to be coachless for two months.

11/26/2006 11:07:25 AM

listen

there are rumors on the internet

there is a 100% chance that we can get whoever we wanted

we dont question the internet

how do you figure this? just b/c he's in his season doesn't mean he can't be spoken to.

11/26/2006 12:21:59 PM

Steve Logan? is this even a good rumor?

11/26/2006 1:25:20 PM

I would have a woody if we brought norm back.

this is going to turn into a football version of the basketball coach search

11/26/2006 1:38:14 PM

i doubt it, and even if so, it would literally be difficult to find a coach that is worse than amato.

11/26/2006 2:11:19 PM

any good mid major coaches like the guy from boise last year?

11/26/2006 7:49:42 PM

Mike Shula will get fired from 'Bama...he is a great coach but the fans there think that they have the all time best football program and should be contending for a national championship every year...Shula got the program out of the gutter for NCAA violations, but I think they wanted him to rebuild quicker

[Edited on November 26, 2006 at 7:58 PM. Reason : .]

11/26/2006 7:54:48 PM

i would like to see shula here...he has played good teams (tenn, fla, aub, lsu, ark)to close games with a fairly average team at best at bama, my only problem is he could never finish these games with W's...but it looks like he will be a great coach

11/26/2006 7:57:19 PM

so he's like an sec version of chuck, except we don't hate him yet?

i'd take him, though.
