Title: Rumor
Post by: catsfan20052006 on November 16, 2009, 11:27:10 AM
Notre Dame is going to fire Charlie Weis and pursue Bob Stoops who has told confidants that he would be interested in taking over the Irish.
Title: Re: Rumor
Post by: Pete on November 16, 2009, 11:46:26 AM
Got any links on the confidants stuff?

The Chicago Sun was reporting the Stoops and Ferrantz rumors, though it was just Notre Dame alums mouthing off again.

I've heard more noise about Brian Kelly from Cincy than either of those guys but Weis will definitely be fired after this year.

but I would think Chip Kelly would be the Irish's No. 1 target, the shine is kind of off Bob Stoops right now. I have no doubt however that IF Stoops left Norman, the Sooners would deal a death blow to KSU...Gary Patterson.

Thanks Fitz.

If the Sooners ever do get G-Patt it will be crazy how many past EMAW's that they have stolen away from us. We might have to switch our #1 rival from Texas to OU in that situation.

No way Bob ever leaves OU.  Not a chance.  He could murder a toddler at midfield get a standing ovation.  No job pressures, loads of money.  He's in Norman forever.

Title: Re: Rumor
Post by: CATastrophe on November 16, 2009, 01:58:10 PM
I think we all should come to the realization that G-Patt will end up at a BCS school (more than likely in the Big 12) and it won't be us.  No way he patiently waits for his alma mater to come calling again especially since we fracked it up so bad last time. Colorado, Kansas and Okalahoma (if Stoops goes to ND) will all be available before Snyder decides to step down again.

Obvious perfect time for Prince to re-enter Irish discussions.

"Now, let me just put that one to rest right now. I am not, nor have I ever been a candidate for the head coaching job at Notre Dame. I am officially removing my name from the hypothetical list of candidates. I have not been contacted by Notre Dame, nor do I expect to be contacted by Notre Dame. I am not a candidate for the head coaching job at Notre Dame."

The latest -

Notre Dame - Tommy Tuberville has been talking to Notre Dame's AD while other names being thrown around include Cincinnati's Brian Kelly, Florida's Urban Meyer, Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops (why does this make sense? Apparently OU's AD is in consideration to be Michigan's new AD) and Oregon's Chip Kelly 

Kansas - UConn's Randy Edsall, Buffalo's Turner Gill, Houston's Kevin Sumlin, Central Michigan's Butch Jones and Oklahoma's DC Brent Venables

Kansas City Chiefs - Charlie Weis could be the Kansas City Chiefs next offensive coordinator after Todd Haley realizes that he can't be both HC and OC

Memphis - LSU assistant HC Larry Porter and Washington Redskins secondary coach Jerry Gray

Harbaugh would make a lot of sense, especially considering his experience with higher entrance requirements at Stanford.  Not that I even know if Notre Dame's entrance requirements are necessarily valid for the majority of their student-athletes.
Title: Re: Rumor

Don't think Harbaugh would go to ND.  Even though he sold out his Alma Matter (Michigan) by trashing the admin standards there, I would bet he is still hoping for the job there some day.  Going to ND would prob eliminate those chances.  Plus, he has it pretty good at Stanford right now. 

BTW, how fracking weird is it to say Stanford Cardinal?

That's the type of guy I imagine they will eventually hire.  Pretty big name, so he'll have the booster's consent and should be able to recruit.  Hasn't been around college in forever, so he probably doesn't realize how bad the ND job is now-a-days.  Plus, it probably pays much better than his studio gig.  If the dude does well, it's his job until he retires.  Which may only be like 5 years, but he'll probably get fired before than anyway.

No, of course not if you want to win.  ND has fooled the media into thinking that they are a big-time job, or the fans/administration actually thinks they are bigger than they really are.  (Nobody drinks the Golden Kool-aid like Lou Holtz, though.) 

Brian Billick is the sort of horrible, big-name hire they would make when they realize they can't get a real coach like Stoops or Meyer to leave their top-level jobs to go into a no-win dead end situation like ND.

Pretty obvious what has to happen in that situation.  Tebow will simply coach the Gators on his days off from being the single best NFL player in the history of the world.  He'll be the first guy ever to win a Heisman, and an NFL MVP in the same year.  And the first to ever win a Super Bowl as a player mere weeks after winning the NC next year as UF's head coach.  He will also cure cancer.  And the economy.  Simultaneously.  Then he'll take a day off.

Kinda assumed he was the HCIW and would take over when Meyer finally bolts for the NFL.  He was the interim after Zook, so he seems like the logical candidate.

Virginia is going to make a move and you can expect Boise State's Chris Petersen and  Tommy Tuberville to be on their list

Louisville will look at Florida DC Charlie Strong, Alabama OC Jim McIlwain, Houston's Kevin Sumlin, Central Michigan's Butch Jones, Tuberville, Buffalo's Turner Gill and Texas Tech's Mike Leach


I'm surprised Strong hasn't received more looks over the last couple years.  If he's not hc somewhere next season then there must be some serious behind the scenes sh*t going down.

Kinda assumed he was the HCIW and would take over when Meyer finally bolts for the NFL.  He was the interim after Zook, so he seems like the logical candidate.

Personally, I don't see Meyer going anywhere anytime soon.  College coaches don't have much success at the pro level and right now he's one of the highest paid coaches in the nation at arguably the best program in the nation.  If Strong is the hciw then I hope he doesn't mind waiting a while.

I think you underestimate the tremendous egos these guys have.  That lack of success didn't keep Saban, Petrino, Spurrier, Switzer, Holtz, etc from thinking that they were a good enough coach to make it work.  Plus, there's always gonna be an owner (like a Dan Snyder, for example) in the NFL that will really back the truck up for a coach if that's what it takes to entice him to make the leap.  You really think that if Jerry Jones came calling, Meyer would be able to turn him down?

2. Bob Stoops, Will Muschamp and Urban Meyer all say that they're not interested in ND but we'll see now that a job is actually available
3. Brian Kelly seems to be the clubhouse leader to go to ND but Al Golden and Jon Gruden's names won't go away
4. Jim Harbaugh has a new deal at Stanford so that should eliminate him
5. There seems to be mutual interest between Coach Fran and UNLV
6. Glen Mason and Carl Pelini are both on Akron's radar
7. Alot of names for the Louisville job: Kevin Sumlin (Houston HC), Butch Jones (Central Michigan HC), Tommy Tuberville (Former HC at Ole Miss/Auburn), Turner Gill (Buffalo HC), Tommy Bowden (Former Clemson HC), Phil Fulmer (Former Tennessee HC), Mike Leach (Texas Tech HC), Karl Dorrell (Former UCLA HC) and Charlie Strong (Florida DC)

I was watching the SEC Championship Game and flipped over to the USC game, it is closer to the end and surprisingly not a blowout, just in time to see the headline "Notre Dame to announce coach tomorrow, Stoops denies interest" go across the bottom of the screen which got me to thinking.....

Is Bob Stoops going to be named head coach at Notre Dame tomorrow? It was said today that Cincinnati's Brian Kelly is open to listening to Notre Dame but maybe they're tired of waiting for him to get through with this whole Cincinnati to the BCS thing.

ESPN.com sure seems to think that this is going to happen. What a way for Notre Dame to steal the bowl spotlight since they're not going to be in one.

Southern Mississipi coach Larry Fedora, Buffalo coach Turner Gill, Boise State coach Chris Peterson, Kevin Sumlin of Houston, Brent Venables of Oklahoma, Butch Jones of Central Michigan, UConn's Randy Edsall and now I'm hearing Ole Miss's Houston Nutt become the next targets. There are reports that Sumlin is about to get a big raise from Houston so that might end the Sumlin to uk talk. If that happens expect Gill to be the next target.

3. There's talk that Norm Chow could return to USC as offensive coordinator if Jeremy Bates returns to the NFL

he'll stay at stanford until rodriguez is fired at michigan, then take over the wolverines.  not rocket science to see how that works.

You must have great sources.  You could have at least mixed up the order.  Tool.


http://espn.go.com/blog/Big12/post/_/id/8911/look-for-these-names-to-emerge-as-techs-leading-replacement-candidates

Baylor coach Art Briles: He played at Houston, but graduated from Texas Tech and coached there three seasons as Leach's original running backs coach before starting his head coaching career at Houston in 2003. His offensive ideas mesh well with what the Red Raiders' current philosophy. He also has the added benefit of being well-known and popular among high school coaches after winning four state championships at Stephenville High School.
Texas Tech defensive coordinator/interim head coach Ruffin McNeill: Arguably the most popular sports figure in Lubbock -- even bigger than Leach. His transformation of the Tech defense has been the team's underrated strength over the past two seasons. He's also beloved by players and respected by other members of the school's administration. His hiring would be the easiest transition in the program, especially in maintaining recruiting continuity.
Former Auburn/Mississippi coach Tommy Tuberville: Tuberville was out of coaching this season after he resigned at Auburn after last season. Insiders say he's itching to get back into college football and would be interested in the Tech job. He's familiar with Texas recruiting after coaching at Texas A&M in 1994.
Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora: Born in College Station, Fedora has the background to be interested in coming to Tech. He was head coach at Garland High School for four seasons before serving as an assistant for six seasons at Baylor and three seasons at Oklahoma State before taking the Golden Eagles' head coaching job in 2008. He's led them to back-to-back trips to the New Orleans Bowl in his first two seasons there.
Arizona offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes: A former baseball player at Tech, Dykes would appeal to many locals because his father is Spike Dykes, who coached there immediately before Leach. Sonny Dykes was on Leach's staff for seven seasons before he left to join Mike Stoops' staff at Arizona in 2007.

I guess this thread isn't over just yet. Who will be the next Texas Tech head coach?:

Art Briles - Baylor Head Coach
Ruffin McNeill - Texas Tech Defensive Coordinator/Interim Head Coach
Tommy Tuberville - Former Auburn/Ole Miss Head Coach
Larry Fedora - Southern Mississippi Head Coach
Sonny Dykes - Arizona Offensive Coordinator

My money is on either Briles or Dykes. An emergency candidate would be Fedora.

You must have great sources.  You could have at least mixed up the order.  Tool.


http://espn.go.com/blog/Big12/post/_/id/8911/look-for-these-names-to-emerge-as-techs-leading-replacement-candidates

Baylor coach Art Briles: He played at Houston, but graduated from Texas Tech and coached there three seasons as Leach's original running backs coach before starting his head coaching career at Houston in 2003. His offensive ideas mesh well with what the Red Raiders' current philosophy. He also has the added benefit of being well-known and popular among high school coaches after winning four state championships at Stephenville High School.
Texas Tech defensive coordinator/interim head coach Ruffin McNeill: Arguably the most popular sports figure in Lubbock -- even bigger than Leach. His transformation of the Tech defense has been the team's underrated strength over the past two seasons. He's also beloved by players and respected by other members of the school's administration. His hiring would be the easiest transition in the program, especially in maintaining recruiting continuity.
Former Auburn/Mississippi coach Tommy Tuberville: Tuberville was out of coaching this season after he resigned at Auburn after last season. Insiders say he's itching to get back into college football and would be interested in the Tech job. He's familiar with Texas recruiting after coaching at Texas A&M in 1994.
Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora: Born in College Station, Fedora has the background to be interested in coming to Tech. He was head coach at Garland High School for four seasons before serving as an assistant for six seasons at Baylor and three seasons at Oklahoma State before taking the Golden Eagles' head coaching job in 2008. He's led them to back-to-back trips to the New Orleans Bowl in his first two seasons there.
Arizona offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes: A former baseball player at Tech, Dykes would appeal to many locals because his father is Spike Dykes, who coached there immediately before Leach. Sonny Dykes was on Leach's staff for seven seasons before he left to join Mike Stoops' staff at Arizona in 2007.

If you're going to copy/paste, is it too much to ask for you to at least do it in a paragraph form?  Reading that crap is like reading  a Sixbrosfromsixhoes post.  It can be done, but there isn't any real reason to.

Really bad career move for Big Mc.  Black is much more slimming than purple and yellow.  Ruffin is going to look exactly like this guy on the sidelines:
