Lameo boring sucky head coach

Pro's: I've probably called like a dozen folks from an Arlington, TX hotel room and no one can say anything bad about him. And he wants to be here.

Con's: See above. I'm still making calls.

Why K-State: Northern Alabama will not be able to match our offer.

Why not K-State: *blank stare*

Curry's got a system, and this guy is free: http://deadspin.com/204477/ron-zook-water-skiing. Recruits like the dickens and will call Curry "Coach Curry".

Mr. Bread your spot on realism is depressing.

Low hanging fruit first Katdaddy.

GTFOOMF with this Herbstreit crap. Denied! Get a picture of him with his family and start your own adoreable thread.

Mike Leach-Headcoach, Washington State University

Pros: How much time do you have?

Cons: Probably many if you're an administrator who pi$$es him off. Always some question marks around Leach's teams on the defensive side of the ball. Has a bit of "can't win the big one" stigma. Leach has a personality that could easily migrate into phoning it in/eff these guys/I don't need this bull$hit mode.

Tidbits: 84-43 as a Division One headcoach. 5-4 in bowl games.

Why K-State: Get back to the Big 12 and get the chance to grind his axe (sword), and Leach clearly still has one to grind with Texas Tech. Pullman makes Manhattan seem like Chicago.

Why Not K-State: If there's too many over officious jerks left in the athletic department, forget about it. Leach is making $2 million a year at WSU and if he wins they'll make him dictator for life.

Finally: One can dream right? CJK5H

Kirby Smart Defensive Coordinator, Alabama

Pros: He's only 36 and he's been Bama's DC for 5 seasons now. The Bama defense is loaded every year. Already pinging lots of coaching search radars. Rivals has him tagged with 5 Alabama 2011 signees.

Cons: Seems to really like working for Saban. Never been a head coach. Its Alabama recruiting with a defensive minded head coach. Been under Saban's wing for a long time now.

Tidbits: 2009 Frank Broyles top assistant coach award winner.

Why K-State: Chance to jump right into a BCS/AQ conference head coaching positions.

Why not K-State: Outside of his comfort zone.

Finally: Listed as a "can't miss" future head coach in many circles.

Bob Stoops-Headcoach, Oklahoma

Pros: Multiple Big 12 titles, a national title, multiple BCS bowl appearences. Know's K-State and still longs to return deep down inside.

Cons: Knows what Brent did . . . maybe.

Tidbits: Will bring Mangino with him. Wife seeks to rekindle Mary Kay empire started in Manhattan.

Why K-State: Will want to replace the legend when he retires again, cannot stomach another Prince like successor at K-State.

Why Not K-State: Why not.

Finally: Inside every Sooner, there's an EMAW trying to get out.

Bud Foster-Defensive Coordinator, Virginia Tech

Putting Foster on one of these lists is so cliche.

Mark Helfrich-Offensive coordinator, Oregon

Pros: Mastermind behind a prolific up-tempo offense that draws the attention of the kinds of athletes K-State fans wished signed with K-State more often. Young and aggressive. Oregon averaged 46 and 47 points a game the last 2 years.

Cons: Young. No headcoaching experience. K-State is sponsered by Nike, but Phil Knight isn't hanging out in a suite at BSFS (that could change though). Is it Helfrich or Kelly pushing the right buttons at Oregon?

Tidbits: Oregon's offensive prowess is well documented. Reportedly at the top of the list to replace Kelly when Kelly was contemplating jumping to the NFL.

Why K-State: Opportunity to be a D1 head coach at a major conference school that has the ability to attract the style of players that have made Oregon click.

Why Not K-State: No diving into California for recruits.

This is more like it

This is a subtle Grand Slam post, if there is such a thing.

Greg Roman-Offensive Coordinator, San Francisco 49ers.

Pros: 13 years in the NFL, including 1 year with Jim Harbaugh at the NFL level, 2 years at Stanford with Harbaugh as an offensive position coach (tackles and tight ends), assistant head coach and running game coordinator. Roman and Harbaugh have teamed up to become 2 of the best in game play callers in football. At Stanford Roman helped coordinate a highly capable power running game that freed up play action opportunities that drove Andre Luck to stardom. While Stanford had its fair share of quality football players with Andrew Luck being one of the very best they are a bit limited by more strident academic requirements. Thus coaching and game planning were at a premium in the very athletic Pac-12. During Roman's time at Stanford they ranked in the Top 20 in points scored, (#1) in fewest sacks allowed in 2009 and 2010, Top 20 in passing yards and rushing yards . . . and TOP! The Cardinal rushed for nearly 3000 yards in 2009. In 2009 All five starters on Stanfords O-Line received some form of post season honors.

Cons: Goofy looking.

Why K-State: Yet another opportunity for a young up-and-comer to make the move up.

Why not K-State: Pull out a map.

Finally: Absolutely someone to keep an eye on.
