Head Coach - Great Article

My only thing about Nord is that he's not a "name" coach. He was great for FAU and I guess I wouldn't be super dissapointed if he was HC, unless he was our first choice. He should be our 3rd or 4th option.

Nord is a fallback option…and likely not even the first fallback option. Not only does the next coach have to win, he has to get fans excited about FAU football and sell tickets.  Leach would do that.  To a lesser extent, so would Bowden who has succeeded at the highest level.  Shannon and Shula would at least bring strong name recognition.

Speaking of Leach, he's also on Tulane's radar along with Rich Rodriguez:

I find it hard to believe that Tulane would be all that attractive of a spot to coach though.

I think Nord is a valid candidate. He could get FAU back on the winning track, but I do not think that he is the guy to take FAU to the next level. I wouldn't be overly excited or overly upset if he gets hired.

We have to face it I'm afraid.

Leach right now is a HOT commodity. EVERY team with an opening is mentionting him as a candidate.

FAU will most likely have the lowest Salary offer for him and his assitants. The only plus we really have is the location and the new stadium. I'm starting to think it wont be enough. We're about a year too late I'm afraid.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

W gotta back up our offer by adding a strong attendance incentive bonus along with a wins and bowl and poll ranking bonuses too.  Even add in a bonus for a future stadium expansion - all of it would be worth it for not only football, but all of athletics and the entire school.

This would be the only way we can land Leach at this point.  Basically, we have to put together a package that would allow him to make big school money $1.5 million+.  I dont know how feasible that would be.
