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*

Petrino would be amazing.

*Nominations are random and show no preferences

Jim Tressel-Former Head Coach Ohio State (currently working as VP of Strategic Engagement, University of Akron)

Pro's: Big time winner at both Youngston State and Ohio State. National titles at both schools as well as multiple Big 10 conference titles. 5-4 in FBS bowls, 23-6 in FCS playoff games. 229-79-2 Career Record. Took over and won big at struggling Ohio State, dominated Ohio State's main rival Michigan.

Con's: Still under show cause umbrella (I believe) for NCAA infractions at Ohio State. Somewhat static/old school offenses struggled against speed defenses. Age: 59

Tidbits: In light of recent events, Tressel's NCAA issues at Ohio State seem insignificant. Life lesson: When they've got you dead to rights, don't lie even more. What Tressel did at Ohio State could probably be uncovered in dozen's of athletic departments across the country.

Why K-State: Like Petrino a chance to reknew a great career.

Why not K-State: K-State is major college football, but it ain't Ohio State (then again, at this stage that could be a good thing).

Finally: Is Tressel done with coaching?

Mike Stoops-Defensive Coordinator, University of Oklahoma (Former Headcoach at Arizona).

Pros: Knows K-State. Helped OU win a National Title. Major Conference D1 headcoaching experience. Known for attacking style defenses. Above average recruiter, with LHC Bill Snyder "eye".

Cons: At times makes Frank Martin seem absolutely normal. Wears on people. Got Arizona headed back in the right direction but just couldn't get over the hump. 41-50 at Arizona. Erratic personal life.

Tidbits: Nothing new, Stoops is well known in K-State circles for obvious reasons.

Why K-State: Was a major cog in helping Snyder get the program going. Another chance to prove something as a head coach.

Why Not K-State: Lot of water under that bridge.

Finally: Stoops could POSSIBLY keep a few key components of exisitng staff, and likely draw in some younger blood . . . aggressive on the recruiting trail.

Dimel should be considered.

yeah, if rumblings are true then Dimel deserves almost as much credit for last season as Bill.

Dimel is good.

Would be very happy to retain him.

I'm sure he would work for Stoops.

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.

Someone needs to call Larry Fedora. By the time Bill retires, he may just be getting the ship righted at UNC after the sanctions.

Would be okay with Dimel if entire roster stayed together and he was able to get some studs recruiting for him.

Brent Venables-Defensive Coordinator, Clemson

Pros: Obviously knows K-State. One of the top recruiters in college football. Has coordinated some of the best defenses in the country. Help win a National Title at OU.

Cons: Venable's defenses floundered at times when the "co" was removed from his title. Never been a headcoach. Defenses prone to give up the big play, at the wrong time.

Tidbits: What don't we know about Venables? Not much.

Why K-State: The guy many K-State fans have wanted for years.

Why Not K-State: Do you know what Brent did?

Finally: The apron strings are cut. Venables career at Clemson will likely decide his D1 head coaching future.

The only thing IMO that would ever make that happen is if Larry can't take the basketball first mentality of UNC. Otherwise they've got truck loads of money and their player/administrative facilities are off the effing charts. The Roy ego could come into play, how much longer is Roy going to stick around? If Roy wants to hang around awhile and Fedora gets things rolling, Roy's ego may not be able to handle it . . . seriously.

Dax, your head coaching watch list kinda sucks, but damm I sure do love your come backs. Makes this thread worth every bit of what I send goEMAW in cold hard cash, even if it's just for the entertainment value.
