-Mike Shula - coach at Bama, wouldnt leave there to come here, but if he is fired...

-Paul Johnson - coach at Navy for 5 years, was at Georgia Southern before that, which to me has "looking to move up when possible" written all over it, won back to back Div 1-AA Championships there. From NC, went to Western Carolina and App. State

-Jimbo Fisher - OC and and I think QB coach at LSU, everyone assumed he would leave LSU when Saban left, but stayed on. Was at Auburn before that just as QB coach i think, might have had one year as OC, cant remember if Tommy left at the same time Terry did or not

-David Cutcliffe - Guy I know the most about obviously. Went to Bama, Assistant coach at UT during the 80s, OC from I think 92 or 93 on to 98. Won 2 SEC Championships, National Championship as an OC, second nationally in scoring (42.8ppg). Head Coach at Ole Miss for 5 years, did good considering how bad they were, only coach there to win at least 7 in each of his first 5 years. Was picked by Weiss to be OC at ND but had to have heart surgery haha. Coached Shuler (hey, he was great in college dammit haha), Peyton, Eli, Ainge. Real good at teaching QB fundamentals, really loyal (fired from Ole Miss for refusing to fire his assistants),

-Bo Pelini - crazy resume, HAS to be a head coach here soon. NFL experience, coached nebraska for a bowl game, oklahoma, lsu etc... but a lot of people think he is going to Michigan State well, dont have to worry about him going there now, that helps

-Jon Tenuta - DC and Assist. Head Coach at GT, supposedly does all the "organization/planning" stuff for GT

-Gene Chizik - DC at Texas, Auburn before that, really big on discipline

-Ron English - DC at Michigan, dont know much about him but after the job he did this year, why the fuck not

-Mike Dunbar - OC at Cal, known to be really erractic though, change shit up for no reason just to do it, definitely a weirdo

-Charlie Strong (like him a lot) - Co DC at Florida, really good recruiter too

-Steve Kragthorpe - coach at Tulsa, done a lot with minimal talent

-Bill Cubit - Western Michigan, not a great record, but not bad with really really minimal talent

-Norm Chow - think you know him

-Bill Cowher - think you know him

Quote :

"Bill Cowher, Head Coach, Pittsburgh Steelers Risk: Low Reward: High My Opinion: Every state fans' dream, unfortunately maybe just that. - Even if it is a long shot, you HAVE to make the call and make him say No. It never hurts to ask. Per ESPN “John Clayton is reporting Cowher turned down contract extension offers ranging up to $6.5 million per year. No doubt in my mind that he is out of Pittsburgh now. See you in North Carolina, Bill. Odd that the same day Amato is fired, Cowher seemingly has quit the Steelers… Maybe coincidence. Either way, I suspect he’ll be somewhere in Carter Finley in the next few years." Wolfpack nation waits with baited breath, but we know we are not this lucky so we shouldn't get our hopes up. Bill Cowher's Resume: - made Super Bowl in his 3rd year as head coach (youngest head coach in history to reach Super Bowl) - led Steelers to playoffs in his first six years as a head coach (one of only two coaches to do this) - In 14 seasons has led Steelers to 10 playoff appearances, 6 AFC championships, and two Super Bowls, one Super Bowl Championship - Since he has become the coach of the Steelers, they have had the best record in the NFL Norm Chow, Off. Coord, Tenn. Titans Risk: Moderate Reward: High My Opinion: Unsure about his head coaching skills, but his offensive mind alone is worth it to me. - Current OC for the Tenn. Titans (former NC State OC) who has been rumored to be cleaning house after this season. This means Head Coach Jeff Fisher (mentioned with the Miami job) and staff, Chow included, will be looking for a new job. Chow is no doubt one of the greatest offensive minds in the game and has groomed super star QBs in Ty Detmer, Rivers, Carson Palmer, among others. The NC State Board of trustees has already stated they would love to have an offensive mind but like anyone else there are questions that surround Chow. Why hasn't he ever been a Head Coach before? Can he recruit? How long will he stay? Chow has gone on record saying he wants to be a head coach and that he likes Raleigh, so the fit is there but its up to those in power to make the decision if he is right for NC State. *UPDATE* - If NC State wants Chow they have to move fast and hard b/c the Ariz. State job just opened up and Chow has stated somewhere the only two jobs he would consider leaving the NFL for were NC State and Arizona State. Norm Chow's Resume -He spent the 2000 season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Carolina State, where he helped the Wolfpack to an 8-4 season and a victory in the Micronpc.com Bowl. The NCSU passing offense was ranked 15th nationally (292.6). His quarterback, Philip Rivers, was a Freshman All-American who completed 53.7% (237-of-441) of his passes for 3,054 yards with 25 touchdowns and was 12th nationally in total offense (269.9). -He coached 6 of the NCAA's top 16 career passing efficiency leaders and was involved with squads that hold 11 of the top 30 single season passing yardage totals in NCAA history. -He was named the National Assistant Coach of the Year in 1999 by the American Football Foundation and in 1993 by Athlon. He was the 1996 Division I Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Quarterly. In 1996, he was a finalist for the Broyles Award. Mike Price, Head Coach, UTEP Risk:High Reward:High My Opinion: Needs to show some more consistency but if you can win at UTEP that has to mean something. - The current head coach at UTEP who is probably best known for the 'Hotel Incident' after being hired away from Washington State to Alabama. Before ever coaching a game he was dismissed from 'Bama for an incident revolving a stripper in a hotel room. HE quickly took the job at UTEP where in his first season, he led the Miners to an 8-4 record and a berth in the Houston Bowl, where they lost to Colorado. The season was an astounding turnaround for the Miners, who has won only two games in each of their previous two seasons. At one time during the 2004 season, UTEP earned its first-ever ranking in the AP Poll, rising as high as 23rd. Price was a finalist for Eddie Robinson Award and the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award for coach of the year. He followed up the 2004 campaign with another 8-4 record but the Miners have struggled to a 5-7 record this year with a Senior QB Jordan Palmer. I believe Mike Price is a good coach, although he has off the field issues he can def. coach'em up, if you can take a previously 2 win UTEP team and have back to back 8 win seasons. Paul Johnson - Head Coach, Navy Risk:Low Reward:Moderate My Opinion: Not sure if the system will work in a big boy league, no doubt he can coach. -Paul Johnson, a NC native, built a D1AA powerhouse at Georgia Southern, the Eagles captured the NCAA Division I-AA national football championships in 1999 and 2000. He is also one of only four coaches to ever record 50 wins in their first four seasons as head coach at the Division I level. During his 5 years at Ga. So. he compiled a 62 and 12 record winning 5 straight Southern Conference championships to go with his 2 National Championships. His overall coaching record is 90-31 which is amazing, sort of reminds me of Jim Tressel at Youngstown State (pre Ohio State). Wikipedia Says Much of Johnson's success has been predicated on his triple option flexbone offense, a run oriented attack that has led NCAA DI-A football in rushing yards two of the last three years. Some have criticized the triple option as an antiquated, unbalanced system unfit for major college football, which may explain BCS teams' reluctance to offer him a position despite his accomplishments at both Georgia Southern and Navy. Johnson has rebutted this argument in numerous press conferences and interviews, asserting that several top teams, including 2005-2006 national champion Texas and SEC stalwart Florida, utilize various forms of the option. In his opinion, the superior athletes in power conferences could help the triple option flourish. Johnson took over a Georgia Southern program in 1997 that was 4-7 the previous year and orchestrated a turnaround which ranks among the NCAA's best ever, directing the Eagles to a 10-3 record. Navy, which can't get the athletes another BCS school can get, had trouble putting up points vs Rutgers, Notre Dame and Tulsa. There is no doubt the guy can coach but will he adapt his triple option offense to fit its athletes? I don't know but I'd love to see Andrew Brown, Tony Baker and Jamelle Eugene in a pure run type offense. Steve Logan - Former ECU Head Coach Risk:Moderate Reward:Moderate My Opinion: Safe bet for consistency, not likely for greatness In 11 seasons at East Carolina, he won 69 games and went to five bowl games. He groomed NFL quarterbacks Jeff Blake and David Garrard and came close on two others -- Dan Gonzalez and Marcus Crandall. Few coaches have more of a knack for bringing two quarterbacks up to speed at once than Logan. He's done it throughout his career, even as a coach in NFL Europe. There are two popular negative perceptions about Logan: that he's as stubborn and temperamental as an Oklahoma wildcatter and that he's pass-happy beyond rehabilitation. Both are false. Logan usually does speak his mind. That is true. He normally gives an honest answer to an honest question. That made him a hit with players -- and the media -- but a bust with ECU's administration. Its also what has made his Logan Zone radio show so popular. Regarding his pass happy tendencies, At ECU, the most overlooked aspect of Logan's head coaching career was that the Pirates usually ran as effectively as they passed. Just ask Junior Smith, Leonard Henry and Scott Harley, three of the most prolific Pirates rushers ever. Against N.C. State in the final game of the 1996 season, Harley got 42 carries for 351 yards in a 50-29 win. ECU firing Logan is one of the worst moves that program has ever made and are just not recovering thanks to Skip Holtz.Logan has been mentioned with numerous jobs and just about every open coaching position in the state of NC, so why not this one? David Cutcliffe, Off. Coord. @ Univ. of Tenn. Risk:High Reward:Moderate My Opinion: Record at Ole Miss reminds me a lot of Chuck, and when he had Eli Manning he went 7-4 (read: Philip Rivers + Chuck Amato) Cutcliffe is loved by the UT fans as an OC and has made it known he wants to be a head coach somewhere again and close to his home in Knoxville. Is a great offensive mind but as a head coach I'm not sure. I'd rather have Chow. From a UT Fan "Won 2 SEC Championships, National Championship as an OC, second nationally in scoring (42.8ppg). Head Coach at Ole Miss for 5 years, did good considering how bad they were, only coach there to win at least 7 in each of his first 5 years. Was picked by Weiss to be OC at ND but had to have heart surgery haha. Coached Shuler (hey, he was great in college dammit haha), Peyton, Eli, Ainge. Real good at teaching QB fundamentals, really loyal (fired from Ole Miss for refusing to fire his assistants)" "

" Jimbo Fisher, OC, LSU Risk:Low Reward:High My Opinion: Offensive mind, great recruiter, put lots of talent in the NFL. I remember his name being tossed around for the OC job at NC State when Amato hired that chump Trestman. *The more I read about him the more I like. Here is his LSU bio. Fisher enters his seventh season as LSU’s offensive coordinator in 2006 and during his previous six years with the Tigers, he has established himself as one of the nation’s top offensive minds, while also serving as one of the school’s top recruiters. Fisher joined the Tigers in 2000 and during that six-year span, Fisher has been a part of 59 victories, two Southeastern Conference titles and the 2003 BCS National Championship. The 59 victories since the 2000 season are the most in LSU history over any six-year period of the program, while the Tigers’ streak of six consecutive bowl games is a school record. Since 2000, Fisher’s offense’s have set numerous school records, including points in a season (475 in 2003), total yards (5,857 in 2003), and passing touchdowns (30 in 2003). Fisher’s offenses currently hold 13 LSU school records. Here is an interesting read regarding Jimbo Fisher staying at LSU after Nick Saban took the Dolphins job. Nick Saban's offensive coordinator, Jimbo Fisher, will remain at LSU with the same title under new head coach Les Miles, after flirtations with Saban's Miami staff and with NC State. Tiger fans are split on whether this is good news or not. Yes, he was OC during Saban's best years, but the LSU offense in 2004 was exceptionally boring and predictable, and quite often impotent. Some fans argue that this was because of the lack of experience at QB, others say Saban handcuffed Fisher and wouldn't let him open up the offense. My guess is that it was a combination of both Rumors on the LSU fan sites is that Jimbo is a strong candidate for the soon to be open Cincy job. Considering we let it known we want an Off. Guy I don't see these names being of much significance but they should be mentioned. Defensive Coordinators Jon Tenuta - DC and Assist. Head Coach at GT, supposedly does all the "organization/planning" stuff for GT. His defenses have always owned NC State, and more importantly UNC. Gene Chizik - DC at Texas, Auburn before that, really big on discipline Ron English - DC at Michigan, as one state fan says "dont know much about him but after the job he did this year, why the f*&k not" Other Guys Steve Kragthorpe - The current head coach at Tulsa has already said he wouldn't leave for the UNC job, so he's def not going to leave for the NC State job. Gary Petterson - The current head coach at TCU. While he would be an excellent coach anywhere, he has turned down other jobs and is probably holding out for a big time offer (Alabama Maybe?). He is def. not leaving football crazed state of Texas to come to basketball crazed NC. It's just not going to happen. Mike Leech - The current head coach at Texas Tech. Another not likely to leave the football state of Texas. While I'd love to have the high powered offense that Mike Leech is known for, his job is low pressure and his teams play zero defense."

Jimbo Fisher is who we should be realistically putting our efforts into.

Chow and The Chin just are not going to happen, even though i hope i'm wrong...

Quote :

"Reviewing the top coaching candidates With jobs sitting open (and more openings likely to come about this week), here's a quick rundown of the usual suspects in regards to hiring a new head football coach: Steve Spurrier - Head Coach - South Carolina It's obscene to even think about Spurrier leaving South Carolina, where they have tried to move mountains to make The Visor happy. He has said he is not interested in the Miami job, but taking the reigns at Alabama might appeal to Steve's ego. Do they make a houndstooth visor? Rich Rodriguez - Head Coach - West Virginia Proven winner, built one hell of a program at WVU. He has been rumored at Alabama, but is thought to be holding on at West Virginia despite any offers. Has a close relationship with FSU Head Coach Bobby Bowden and many FSU insiders claim that Rodriguez is the "coach in waiting" when Bowden retires. Jeff Tedford - Head Coach - Cal Rumored to be in the mix at Alabama. Securely in place at Cal after the administration bent to his wishes regarding facilities & contracts last year. Can he recruit the talent to displace USC in the Pac10? The "always a bridesmaid" scenario could have Tedford entertaining calls. Bob Stoops - Head Coach - Oklahoma It's hard for me to imagine Stoops leaving Oklahoma, where the Sooners head coach is revered as sitting at the right hand of God himself. Stoops has returned OU to a national powerhouse position and an outstanding recruiting network throughout the South and Midwest. It's hard to imagine a bigger stage for a college football coach, but... his name keeps coming up. Jim Grobe - Head Coach - Wake Forest On the radar at Alabama, but probably not a contender for the Arizona State job. Has a history of fielding respectable teams despite limited talent. Has the DDs in the ACC championship game this year. Greg Schiano - Head Coach - Rutgers Has seemingly declined a shot at the Miami job. His name will be rumored for every head coaching job, particularly at Alabama. General thought is that Schiano is happy to stay at Rutgers until JoPa retires at Penn State. Barry Alvarez - AD - Wisconsin Alvarez turned down the Miami job last time it was open, but that was during his coaching days. Does the Badgers AD want to get back on the sidelines? He would appear to be the top pick at Miami if he was interested. Both Arizona State and Alabama would also be interested in seeing Alvarez walking the sidelines. Paul Johnson - Head Coach - Navy Johnson's name seems to come up in every coaching search and you have to wonder how much more he can do at Navy, given the talent/size disadvantage that seems to be the Achille's heel of the Midshipmen versus upper tier competition. Considered a potential candidate at NC State and Alabama, but not at the top of either school's list. Bill Cowher - Head Coach - Pittsburgh Steelers The popular choice for the job at NC State. A Wolfpack alum and former Pack linebacker, Cowher owns a home in Raleigh and has expressed his desire to return to the area at some point. Is Cowher ready to step away from the NFL? Danny White - Head Coach - Utah Blaze (Arena) White is the name in Arizona football. An Arizona State alum, he has the ability to get the fan base fired up instantly. His head coaching experience is limited to twelve years with the Arizona Rattlers (Arena) and two years with the Utah Blaze (Arena). It's yet to be determined if Danny White could recruit and/or relate to the college athelets, but as a former player, you have to think that White has a chance. Arizona State needs a great hire to avoid losing ground to Arizona and Mike Stoops in the recruiting war. Norm Chow - Offensive Coor - Tennessee Titans Who doesn't want to hire Norm Chow? Chow would be the first Asian-American head coach in the college ranks. It's believed that he prefers a Pac10 school for his first head coaching job, as he has a great feel for the conference & competition. Heavy odds on Stanford and Arizona State. He would be a great hire for either school, but likely to have more success at ASU. Mike Price - Head Coach - UTEP If ever a coach paid the price for a mistake, it is Mike Price. After being embarrassed at run out before taking the field at Alabama, Price has become a humble winner at UTEP, restoring the Miners program in the process. You don't get many advantages in El Paso, and Price is proving himself again. He has to be a candidate at ASU if Danny White or Norm Chow pass. David Cutcliffe - OC - Tennessee Has head coaching experience and is likely in the mix at NC State. Cutcliffe's health was an issue during a very brief swim through Notre Dame. Steve Kragthorpe - Head Coach - Tulsa Built his reputation for offense during BYU's pass-happy glory days. His teams have a reputation for offense. Declined to be a candidate at North Carolina for unknown reasons. He could be considered at any of the top programs, but is likely to a stronger candidate in the Pac10 with his background in the west. Dave McGinnis - Defensive Coor - Tennessee Titans Has a reputation for building strong defenses, but can come off as "slick" at times. Likely to be a candidate at Arizona State. There is some talk of being able to get McGinnis and Chow in a "package" deal, but it's really not clear as to who would be the Skipper and who would be Gilligan. Jimbo Fisher - Offensive Coor - LSU Considered by some to be the top offensive assistant in the country, Fisher could be candidate at NC State if he was interested. His name has also been discussed at Miami and for offensive coordinator at Florida State. Bo Pelini - Defensive Coor - LSU Pelini was the hot pick a few years ago after stepping in as interim coach at Nebraska. Since then, he's only managed to run one of the best defenses in the country. Pelini could be considered a candidate at any school. Gene Chizik - Defensive Coor - Texas His tenure at Texas and Auburn have shown that Chizik can flat out coach defense. He's an unproven commodity as a head coach, but everyone seems to believe he will be an outstanding coach one day. He is considered a good recruiter, but not great. Would be an outstanding hire at NC State or Miami. "

i really want someone that is known as an offensive mastermind and then he can just go out hire a great def. coordinator and turn that over to him in most respects

a lot of the best programs do that. Pete carroll at usc doesn't do a whole lot w/ the offense, same with spurrier and the defense, tressel and the defense, and so forth. offense wins more games in college and we need someone with a great off. history imo. this could also be good for our starting qb next year whether it is burke, beck, or evans to get a great off. coach in here
