Snyder Retirement Coaching Search Master Thread

[sonofdaxjones]

Tom Herman should be offered the job as soon as the final regular season game ends, if not before.

It won't happen of course, but it should.

I was really hoping that Bill would retire this season because I thought we would be the best job open with a very good group of canidates but in the last couple of weeks it seems as if right now we'll be the third best job, best case scenario as USC will definitely be open and USCe seems like a firm possibility.

We wouldn't be competing for coaches that USC will be considering.

Who do you think they could get who would be currently unavailable to us if we weren't conducting simultaneous searches?

USC job is officially open.

They can poach P5 coaches like they did with Sark. We can't do that. Guys that they would be interested in below that tier (someone like McElwein last year, possibly Tom Herman this year) would be content holding out for a better job than KSU if USC wasn't available. I could be wrong though. Things are always changing.

USCe would likely have more overlap in their candidate pool with ours.

Sark is a horrible example because he was formally an assistant there and no one else even wanted to take him away from Washington, he was a less accomplished Mike Gundy.

KSU is absolutely a place that Herman would be interested in, just as McElwein would have been if a job like Florida wasn't available. I can't think of a single power 5 coach right now that USC boosters would want that isn't either an alum where he is or someone who isn't tied to a region that isn't southern California. Sonny Dikes would probably go but I don't think USC people would want him and his style. Kyle Wittingham?

[catastrophe]

I honestly don't see us getting a P5 coach from a program any better than ours. However, USC poaching another P5 coach means a vacancy from another school who we would be competing with, so it's kind of a moot point.

If Currie wins the battle of attrition he's going to come right out of the gate blasting $2.9 to $3.5 million a year at a Tom Herman type.   

[lopakman]

Sarkisian seems like a Currie type of guy

Minus the drunk on the job thing, you mean?

If we're willing to swing for the fences on Herman, I'm all for it.  I'm also pretty high on Justin Fuente.

I guess my Top 3 right now would be:

1) Herman
2) Fuente
3) Venables

I think we'll be a fairly attractive job with the amount of quality youth on this team, especially at QB with Delton and Thompson, and the recent facility upgrades.  A strong recruiter could easily augment the talent here and win quickly.  This is the perfect job for a Fuente or Herman.  Moderate/Attainable expectations, big money, low media spotlight, school willing to throw tens of millions at the program, etc.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Fuente has the added bonus of being turned down by KU.

Possibly a guy like Dan Mullen, too. (USC is tricky because it's such a unique/isolated region without many natural candidates).

Re: Herman and McElwein, I'm not entirely sure. It may make more sense to cash in after year one or two at a smaller school than hold out for a better job. But like zack said, when USC is open, dominoes will fall all over the place and who knows what jobs will be open.

Obviously.

[catastrophe]

Remember when Frank said Underwood should be the next hoops coach at KSU? Is no one concerned about a similar situation here?

Edit: I mean, obviously Sean would come back to us even if he turned into a total stud HC somewhere else.

Mullen is a good one, he hasn't been in the SEC as long as I thought he has. Although Mississippi State to USC isn't the huge jump it appears to. The USC job is more attractive if they fire Haden and hire a new AD before they hire a coach. The next guy will be their 5th coach in 3 seasons. Their last three hires; Carroll, Kiffin, and Sark don't scream elite program who can get whomever they want. Their last two AD's have been pretty awful.
