Isn't Leavitt like 65?  Are we looking at a short term lease or something that could be long term?

You take the best available regardless.  Not saying that's Leavitt,  just saying if you can expect 5 good years from a  coach,  you take that coach.  It's no different than worrying about a coach using KSU as a stepping stone.  The more success KSU has in football after Snyder,  the more "legit"  it becomes. 

I'm still pro-Venables.  Any coach not named Urban or Saban have risks associated with them.  You just never know how well someone will do in a new environment.  But Brent has been under Snyder,  Stoops,  and Swinney.  That's  an incredible group to be associated with and hopefully learned some tricks from.

Jim Leavitt never won a conference championship and was fired for abusing his players. He lost 4 games in his best years.

He helped them move up from NCAA Division I-AA independent, to a D1 independent, to conference USA, and then to the Big East. Pretty hard to win a conference championship when 6 out of the 15 years you weren't in a conference. If you want to disregard his work, that's fine, but he currently has the 12th best defense in the country. 95-57 in that type of transition is pretty salty. But hey man, this fleck guy is hot right now!

[420seriouscat69]

Also, he had a 9-2 year when they were independent in D1. I know facts suck sometimes.

My order of preference:

Brent
PJ
Jim

I would be happy with any of the 3.

[420seriouscat69]

Agreed. Mine would go:

Brent
Herman (will never happen)
Leavitt
PJ

I think the leavitt mentions are trolling but I'm not sure.

His 9-2 team was much worse than some of his 9-4 teams. Is 9 years just not enough time to win a conference championship in Conference USA or the Big East?

Brent
Herman (will never happen)
Leavitt

Yes, good choices.

Everyone seems to think JC would never hire Brent(not sure the origin of that), but we know for a fact that JC has told Bill no when he tried to bring Leavitt here before, correct?

[420seriouscat69]

Talking sports with Rage sometimes is so frustrating. He just throws crap against the wall without even putting any thought into it. Having success at that time at South Florida was pretty much considered a miracle. He's also worked under Harbaugh since then. But I digress. Go cats!

[michigancat]

Get the eff out of here with Leavitt.

[420seriouscat69]

Herman's coaching tree is sexy and gross at the same time. But those Texas recruiting ties! 

Notable head coaches under whom Herman has served:

Mack Brown: Texas
David Bailiff: Rice
Paul Rhoads: Iowa State
Urban Meyer: Ohio State

[Katpappy]

Curr dog doesn't like ppl with "Frank like tempers", therefore, no Leavitt or Brent.

yes, he's below the burn it down cutoff as HC

Where will Les Miles end up? Any shot at him?

Herman would be a dream come true. 

[420seriouscat69]

He would, but I bet LSU grabs him.

I think we could do way worse than him under Currie, but that's just my

Isn't he already at Lincoln?

Currie has never hired a head coach without head coaching experience, not saying he won't but he hasn't.

Our list is going to be filled with guys like Fleck, Ruhle, and Jeff Brohm
