LoL at offering Stoops. Love him and what he's doing. He ain't even looking at ksu. Nobody on that stuff except Smith wants to work here.

IMO the following constraint will be put on any possible coaching search:

* Coached or played under LHC LHC Bill Snyder

Including this limitation (among others) I think the possible candidates are then only:

Jim Leavitt
Brent Venebles
Sean Snyder
Bert Bielma
Dana Dimel
Chuck Long
Mike Stoops
Mike Ekeler
Bob Stoops (but c'mon that's not happening)

(I might be missing someone...)

Mark Mangino

I know it's tuck to adhere to the principle that LHCBS found a unique way to win at K-State, and that his replacement will need to build upon that system. If that's true, new coach has to come from the tree. Jim Leavitt WANTS to come here. Why not Leavitt?

I'd be ok w/ Leavitt. Not ecstatic, but I'll probably be less happy about whoever we do get than I would with him.

i'd rather have Leavitt than LittreLL, but that's only because i've heard of Leavitt, and he seems entertaining. what's LittreLL like on twitter?

MadCat · « **Reply #29 on:** November 06, 2018, 10:08:12 AM »

I don't think I could tell the difference between Litrell and Seiler in a lineup.

Leach - Too much of a POS, or good enough at football to overlook all that?

Not that great at football

Won't pretend to know a lot about LittreLL, but NT beat one team prior to LittreLL. He came in and won 5, then 9, and is currently 7-2 according to Wikipedia. Not a ton of data points, but otherwise seems good.

Seems like he's constantly bringing in good assistants, so could be good if we'd end up w/one of them stepping up after Leach gets fired for doing something stupid.

compared to whom? I will predict that he's great at football relative relative to whoever we end up hiring.

I'm imagining Leach coming in the football complex, and replacing all the 16 goals stuff with pirate phrases and such

_33 · « **Reply #36 on:** November 06, 2018, 01:23:31 PM »

I would like a Huggins-type hire. Anyone with a show-cause right now in college football? Jim Tressel?

wetwillie · « **Reply #37 on:** November 06, 2018, 01:27:29 PM »

No current show causes, tressels ended 2 years ago

What is the best team that UNT has beaten with LittreLL at the helm? UAB in 2017? Arkansas this year?

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #39 on:** November 06, 2018, 01:50:30 PM »

The best thing LittreLL has going for him is that we don't know his ceiling. We can fantasize about him ending up being a great coach, while we already know most of the other candidates will never be better than mediocre.

Fair point. Also, he’s not ugly.

LittreLL is probably who skylars Dad told gene it would take for him to stay

Fair enough. Still like him.

Cire · « **Reply #45 on:** November 06, 2018, 02:51:40 PM »

LittreLL has a nice pedigree.

Leavitt would be super duper Meh and I think the ceiling would be 6 or 7 wins with him.

3rd highest rated class for non P5 schools last year. Mid 50s, just below Memphis and over 30 spots better than K-State.

If we want any kind of success approaching Snyder's, we'll have to gamble to get it. I'm ok w/ a gamble. Venzy is a gamble for that matter, but I do love that he's coach under presumably 3 HOF coaches. But he's still a coordinator w/ no HC experience.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #49 on:** November 06, 2018, 03:17:13 PM »

LittreLL's W/L record is padded each year with 3 of the worst 10 programs in CFB. The recruiting thing is nice to hear though. I'm not against him but I don't think he's high enough quality that he needs to be locked down the first week of November.

Leach is probably the most accomplished head coach that we may have an actual shot at. His history shows that he can build a 7 to 9 win teams consistently and do it anywhere. The only knocks I have on him is that he seems to have a pretty hard ceiling and he is crazy (which isn't all bad).
