2018 College Football Chatter

[skidadl]

The national media will throw out obvious candidates. From what I understand Littrell and Neal Brown are not candidates.

Holgerson - this one makes the most sense to me
Venables
Leavitt (hearing he is high on the target list)
Matt Wells - interesting

Supposedly that is the top 4 guys.

Mack Brown going back to North Carolina would be good for nostalgia purposes only.

I must admit those mid to late 90s N. Carolina squads were pretty good. IIRC, they were the only ACC team that consistently challenged FSU for the conf championship.

Please take Norvell.

Makes about as much sense as Dabo.

Jesus. Get over yourselves. Texas Tech is not a destination head coaching gig.

DFDC

At least give them a couple hours to dream.

I have also read the interest is mutual. Have not seen that from a credible source just yet, though.

So having Holgerson as a target is equal to assuming that Tech is a destination job? That seems like a bit of a leap there.

Tech is about a top 30 job in the country and has money to spend on a coach. No, top tier coaches won't be coming to Lubbock. You'd have to find a mid-tier guy (like Holgerson) or hope to hit on an up and comer.

I think his argument is Holgorsen isn’t a mid tier guy and I agree.

1 Tennessee is horrible with no coach. Worst SEC team. Vanderbilt beat them yesterday. Tennessee is FCS level now.
2 Youngstown State is FCS.
3 Kansas State is the worst they ever have been. FCS level this year.
4 Kansas is terrible.
5 Texas Tech is 5-7 and Swiss cheese terrible as usual. Even worse this year.
6 TCU is worse than ever. Down year. Unusually bad this year. QB injuries suspensions, best player kicked off arrested.
7 Baylor is terrible again in post Art Briles era. Baylor is a joke now.

Holgorsen's coaching record at WVU:

61-40

38-32 in conference

2-4 in bowls


OMG HE WOULD ONLY LEAVE FOR A DESTINATION JOB!

Why would he leave his current job for a lower tier job?

Lol. Thats exactly what I was thinking.

It is insane.

I don't know that he would do that BUT:

1. He wouldn't be doing that. Your perception is wrong on that. It is at least an equal or better job.

2. He isn't happy where he is from what I understand.

3. He would be in a better recruiting situation.

4. He could possibly get a raise.

Off the top of my head.

Look, I wouldn't go all in on this happening or anything, so I hate to even argue the point. I'm mainly saying that those are some realistic options to that Tech is considering, not fan bullshit.

I think Vince Lombardi would emerge from the grave for the privilege to coach in Lubbock.

 

[Cotton]

You view Texas Tech as being on a lower tier than WVU?

Is this list in response to someone or was it going somewhere? I’m lost.
