I don't want older, retread coaches who have already made their money in the sport. We need younger, hungrier candidates - most likely someone at the coordinator level with no prior head coaching experience.
Charlie Strong is case in point to what I'm talking about. He had great success at Louisville and parleyed that into the Texas job, where he became extravagantly wealthy. He did well initially at USF with Taggart's players, but then failed to sustain it through the hard work (recruiting, program management).
We need someone on the way up and not the way down.Posted On: Dec 2nd 2019, 8:36 AM #391371
With a younger coach u have to constantly worry abt them taking another job at the first chance of success.Posted On: Dec 2nd 2019, 9:25 AM #391374
Well, that's just a fact of football at this level (and every level, except the top). That is not a reason to hire a lesser coach.
Here's an example: Cincinnati had great success with Brian Kelly and Butch Jones, who left for Notre Dame and Tennessee, respectively. Cincinnati administration got tired of losing their coaches so they hired veteran coach Tommy Tuberville who had been fired at Auburn. His wife had Cincinnati ties and the thinking was that he would stay for the long haul. But he was not sufficiently motivated and the program went downhill. They got rid of him and hired another young coach (Luke Fickell) who has had great success and will probably leave after this season.

I think its great in theory but who are those guys that meet that criteria today?

One of those co-OCs at Clemson wouldn’t be the end of the world. I’d think a coordinator from a big school who has seen first hand how a successful program should be run…. wait, sounds an awful lot like when Kiffin was hired.

In any case, I’m confident in Brian White to make a good hire when the time comes hopefully in a year or two at least.

I’m all in and I mean ALL IN on Charlie Weis Jr. I think he’s ready and he’s a great recruiter Judging by how he’s almost always in the pic with the recruit. I’ve heard about him recruiting a lot.Posted On: Dec 2nd 2019, 10:20 AM #391380
Not saying I dont understand why you feel this way…but man, I would be incredibly hesitant to hire an under 30 as HC of a program.
The difference between being a coordinator and HC, especially at a place like FAU which is still grass roots is an ocean.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
