Snyder Retirement Coaching Search Master Thread

[Mixed-Nutz]

Reality:  Probably no one with a stable job is going to come in here and Replace LHC LHC Bill Snyder unless it is for crazy big money.  This eliminates a lot of successful current head coaches.

P5 coordinators.  Next year will probably be a good year to look to hire with so many power schools having openings this year.

Hope he's got 1 more in him.

No successful coach will be scared off by LHC LHC Bill Snyder and his two conference titles. Successful people don't become successful by doubting what they can accomplish.

Currie has made it abundantly clear that he isn't going after an assistant to coach his teams, not one without significant head coaching experience anyway.

I think he is really risk averse. Maybe this is a situation where it is best for him longterm to hire from within.

Fitz basically just said that he has made a bunch of calls and no one is picking up.  What more can he do?

He also basically said that he saw SD's post and thinks something is happening.

Looks like we've all been right for years on the replacement. Time to start worrying about how big time of assistants and recruiters we can get.

[Frankenklein]

Just need to find a good ST coach to take over for Sean then it all falls into place

[Panjandrum]

He's waiting out Currie.  We've known that for years.

I would assume Sean would keep that as a side position. Head Coaches often like to coordinate offense or defense. I think Sean is a head coach / special teams coach kinda guy.

Listen, I know i'm tuck-ish at times, but I don't know how this could be a totally bad thing. Either way, we're going to be gambling on the next hire. We're not hitting a home run no matter what. Why not have Bill whisper in Sean's ear during his retired years? It couldn't hurt and I think most of the staff would remain in tact.

The only way i'm cool with this is if Sean makes Beattie money (800k tops) and we pay our assistants more.  Del and Mo are forced into retirement.  Klein takes over qb coach, and find a couple other stud recruiters for the remaining assistant positions. 

[CNS]

Who would want to assistant under Sean?  Unproven ppl that haven't had the job before.  If you hire some other HC, you can atleast go get assistants that are solid.  That way your gamble isn't a complete one.

[MixBerryCrunch]

If there is no one out there worth getting I would be okay with Dana or possibly Sean taking over for a few years.  If they fail maybe it will make it easier to replace Snyder, as the guy they get would'nt have as much to live up to. Idk. Just trying to look on the bright side here.

Good coaches would rather replace LHC Bill Snyder than take over a program that Sean has just run into the ground.

[CNS]

Yeah, top 10-15 team, perennially bowling, brand new facilities, etc sounds a lot better than following a failed Sean.  If Bill leaves this year, our program will never have been more attractive to established coaches than now.

[Spracne]

Has the media to whom Bill allegedly told this said anything about this yet?

[Rage Against the McKee]

Turner Gill was a rising star when he took the KU job to follow the most successful coach in program history. They couldn't find anybody better than the WR coach at Texas A&M to replace Coach Weis.

depends on your definition of media

@brettregan: LHC Bill Snyder just said his son Sean virtually runs the program...

[420seriouscat69]

In GoT, Jeoffrie has a kings protector that pretty much does everything. That should be the main assistant.

[doom]

If Bill was totally 100% helping Sean and they start grooming The Chamber as HCIW, I MIGHT be cool with it depending on how drunk I am. 

[massofcatfan]

here's my guess: LHCBS retires for 3 years, program crashes, he emerges from Meadowlark for Synds Mark III to recapture Big XII Championship
