"I think it's a plumb," Curry said. "A lot of the (ground) work has been done."

Why I like Shannon and Nord to a degree… "Just because someone gets moved on, depending on why they get moved on, many times they can be better the second time around," he said. "They've learned from any mistakes the first time around and they can be more hungry the second time around."
"Are there better states in the country for high school players? They're so rich with so many good players," he said. "I think the situation (at FAU) is great. I'd be shocked if there is not a long line of quality coaches and leaders for that job."

Re: Head Coach - Great Article
I am not endorsing Nord at all, but the guy is an OC at a BCS school. Is it because he has already been here, or is it because we want to read articles wriiten about a big hire for a day or two?
Are we all expecting someone bigger than an OC at a BCS school? If the Leach dream doesn't pan out, what are we looking for?
Just curious.

Re: Head Coach - Great Article
To answer fauowl's question, I'm looking for someone who has head coaching experience, preferably in a big time program. That has been Angelos' MO when hiring basketball coaches, so I assume he'll follow the same game plan when looking for a football coach. I'm hoping for Leach but Terry Bowden, Mike Shula, or Randy Shannon would also do.

Nord would be an awful hire.

I agree…his only head coaching stint at UTEP he had an awful record but did go to a bowl I think….We need a proven guy…

He's like a poor mans Ron Zook, excellent recruiter, well liked by his team just not the best HC in his first job in the role.
He is what we call an "easy" hire, he knows the recruiting trail, the program, he could come in and get to work right away. That doesn't mean we should hire him but they have a good choice if the big name hcs fall through.

Re: Head Coach - Great Article
There is no denying the fall off of our team since Nord left. I'd take Leach over him…but I think he is pretty much on par with the rest of the list. I am just as sold on Nord as I am on Bowden or Shula.
