Think he was getting 300k at Boise. 450k here. Want to say Canada was 500-600k but can't remember

Oh well, I hope he does well enough to warrant his own wiki page lol

Ledford hire is official. Think it's a solid choice for our OL coach. NFL experience, some early success coaching, and regarded as a great recruiter.

1/14/2016 9:39:25 AM

I agree, excellent hires both of them. Now let's see if they are excellent enough to get DD's fat ass off the hot seat.

There went our savior. this actually might be for the best, because when he's style doesnt work in SF either, he'll be heading back to college right around the time we give DD the boot...

1/14/2016 2:58:59 PM

LES MILES

9/25/2016 9:02:11 PM

I actually don't think he is the best man...

He had LSU resources and only did OK, look at all the NFL talent.

9/26/2016 11:58:45 PM

114-34
five top-10 finishes
two national championship game appearances
one national title

driven much off the success and the system that Saban left at LSU at the time.

He can't stick to the old ways and expect to win again.

9/27/2016 12:24:17 AM

More likely we end up with Cam Cameron. Still wouldn't complain, as long as we are past the DD error.

9/27/2016 1:41:44 PM

I'd take Les. Couldn't be worse than our last Les.

9/27/2016 2:09:38 PM

I'm assuming you mean Les Robinson, who took a job literally no one else in the world wanted.

9/27/2016 2:13:41 PM

Yeh, but this time it's for a job that literally no one else in the world wants.

9/27/2016 2:21:04 PM

Not true, I would coach NCSU football.

They'd only have to pay me like 50k, too.

9/27/2016 2:26:24 PM

But really, if DD loses (and I think he may) the Wake Forest game, there will be a lot of mumbling.

9/27/2016 2:37:04 PM

And for Jibbles case, a lot of crumbs spat upon his wife beater.

^^well yeh? then maybe you're no one!

[Edited on September 27, 2016 at 3:41 PM. Reason : .]

9/27/2016 3:38:05 PM

^^i think we'll win, Wake's off to a nice start but they still aren't really particularly good...but yeah, there are already plenty of upset fans if the message boards and twitter are any indication (not really a fair representation of fan base, but still). losing to Wake at home would not go over well...it would only make the rumblings louder

9/27/2016 5:32:51 PM

Lock this shit up

10/8/2016 4:02:42 PM

And back off the hot seat until we play UNC

10/8/2016 4:04:37 PM

maybe we can snag kelly when he gets fired from ND

10/8/2016 6:51:50 PM

Serious discussion. When the move is made, who would you like on the short list?

Les Miles, Brent Venables, Scott Satterfield would be my first three calls Monday

10/29/2016 4:31:58 PM

What if we seriously just went and got the BEST highschool coach in the country. Some Texas or Florida St Thomas Quinas coach? And just go for looking for next Saban??

10/29/2016 4:38:22 PM

Anyone we consider must pass the Hot Wife™ test

10/29/2016 4:40:45 PM

Kiffin?

10/29/2016 4:41:18 PM

Just for fun...what is a real list of candidates they would have mutual interest. Kiffin, lol no way he'd leave current better job to come here. Miles has a son at UNC. He's probably already has realized they swing the biggest dicks in this state. (Well maybe Clemson does)

Lincoln Riley is a Texas type guy and is going to get a better job than State.

Satterfield from App? Yes please
Charlie Strong? (No for me)
Venables? Not sure he'd come.

If we really want to get nuts we hire the the Navy coach. We need a Hawaiian to calm us down.

Lincoln Riley to Houston after Herman goes to Texas?

10/29/2016 6:31:27 PM

Sidney Lowe. He can't be any worse at coaching football than he is at basketball.

10/29/2016 6:31:35 PM

Bring back CTC.

10/29/2016 6:46:15 PM

Firing the Chest for Tob was biggest blunder in the history of NC states football program

10/29/2016 7:40:37 PM

Western Michigan coach PJ Fleck. Dude will be a big time coach soon. I'm sure the hire a mid tier coach from the Midwest idea will go over like a fart in church with NC state decision makers. Think DD could be coaching Wisconsin right now. He probably wants to go back in time.

10/29/2016 8:05:58 PM

Just ride out Doeren's contract and then hire the guy from Winston Salem State or w/e for peanuts so we can put all our money in the $4mil/yr offer to Archie after Gott somehow fucks up basketball this year

10/29/2016 8:09:39 PM

10/30/2016 12:29:06 AM

oh i'd take PJ Fleck in a heartbeat....but i think he may be coaching his way into better jobs than here.

10/31/2016 7:10:39 AM

charlie strong is currently getting the same results at a school with unlimited talent and resources. he has the best job in the country and cant produce but you people think he would come into a difficult situation here and suddenly do better.

you people

For once I agree with a statement of yours.

10/31/2016 4:19:18 PM

Dude, he's in a much more competitive environment, AND has not been given enough time. He would thrive in the ACC, due to his ability to keep the 5 star blue chips in state.

From the wikis:

Quote :

"UT Athletic Director Steve Patterson and UT President Bill Powers stated their reasons for hiring Strong for the head coaching position was due to Strong's commitment to the tradition of the UT Football program as well as the development of the student-athletes.[12] Strong discussed his devotion to his athletes in his first press conference as the head coach of Texas, "I want to see [the players] develop on the field as well as off the field...The program is always going to be about physical and mental toughness." In his first training camp as Longhorns coach, Strong suspended or dismissed a number of players for legal and disciplinary reasons. Players went to training camp with blank white helmets and Strong said they would have to earn the right to have the Longhorn logo on them. Texas under Strong started 2-4, which included a 20-17 nail biter defeat to #12 UCLA and 31-26 close loss to #11 Oklahoma. The Longhorns rallied and finished 6-6, which included an upset win at home versus #23 West Virginia, 33-16, and a 48-45 shootout home win against Iowa State, Strong's first shootout win in the Big 12. A 41–7 loss to BYU at home, 28–7 loss to #7 Baylor at home, 23-0 shutout by #10 Kansas State in Manhattan, and a 48-10 home loss to #5 TCU proved to be blemishes to Strong's first season in Austin. Under Strong, the Longhorns earned a bowl bid in his first season. On renewing an old Southwest Conference rivalry, playing against Arkansas in the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl in Houston, Strong commented, "I grew up in Arkansas, grew up an Arkansas fan because it's a major university in the state," Strong said. "So many memorable games. Like I said, the '69 game was an unbelievable game. Growing up around it, you just know how big it was and how important it is to so many people." Texas lost the game by a score of 31-7. In 2015, Strong's coaching staff got a top-10, recruiting class, competing with rivals Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech and TCU in in-state recruiting. And during the spring, the coaches switched the offense to a spread offense, as the quarterbacks Strong recruits are used to this style since it is extensively used in high school, Strong noted. Strong's first upset win against a top 10 team at Texas was in the Red River Showdown in his second year, beating Oklahoma 24-17. The Longhorns dominated the rushing attack with 313 yards on the ground and had two players rush for over 100 yards in the game. Both players (QB Jerrod Heard and RB D'Onta Foreman) were in their second years, signaling the success of Strong's recruiting at Texas. After the victory, the players picked up Strong and crowd-surfed him in the middle of the field, then Strong posed for photos wearing the Golden Hat.[15] Texas ended the season on a high note upsetting No. 12 Baylor. The offseason saw Strong bring in another top-10 recruiting class. Texas started their 2016 campaign against Notre Dame at home, starting freshman QB Shane Buechelle, but it was Tyrone Swoopes getting Texas the game winning touchdown, upsetting No. 10 Notre Dame in 2OT. In the following AP poll, Texas was ranked for the first time under Strong, at No. 11."

They are gonna fire this dude after just two years! We need to swoop in and grab this cool dude before he crowd surfs into destiny!

Strong would achieve similar results to what he did at Louisville. Thus he'd be our best coach in decades

10/31/2016 10:03:31 PM

So, when are we moving to the american conference?

10/31/2016 10:26:18 PM

Strong benefited from Miami's meltdown to recruit him a sick defense at L'ville and lucked into an NFL QB for his trouble, too.

Don't see the same thing happening here. Yow wont let him bring in guys kicked off SEC teams as transfers either

11/1/2016 2:07:13 AM

Alright fine, I'm convinced. We are crossing him off the list . Who else y'all got?

11/1/2016 7:56:08 AM

If Chuck wasn't 70 years old, I'd be all about that.

Not that I think he would come back, I know I wouldn't if I was him. Got shit canned for fucking ToBy.

11/1/2016 8:56:30 AM

Bring in Rex Ryan. This shitshow has to be more fun than living in fucking Buffalo.

11/1/2016 9:12:13 AM

Lol imagine how TOB feels....TOB put up the same results Chuck did. ACC records nearly identical.

Not sure how that matters in this thread. Neither are going to factor in. Trying to improve. Last hire we got worse.
