What would it take for you to be cool with

Bill's brain being implanted in Sean's body

Not promoting this at all, but I always thought J. Beasley was as close as we got to having Bill's Brain on the field. He'll make somebody a good coach someday.

Now that we've established that we (myself included) were all pretty dumb for ever doubting Snyder

whoa pump the brakes there big fella.. I was mercilessly ridiculed(ok probably not) on ksufans for being pro snyds since the re-hire and I'd like to bask in that for a moment.. feels good 

[SdK]

Do not want Johnny as HC. I remember seeing him blasted out of his mind at O'Malleys falling into walls and crap when he first came back to town. Do not want. Also....he's fat.

no you weren't (pro snyder or ridiculed)

['taterblast]

i was pro snyder and somewhat ridiculed

[SdK]

To answer the OP, anything short of a crystal (foot)ball that tells me it's all going to be ok will not be enough.

yes I was, I also remember balling on michigancats face with some gepetto reference. stunz can also confirm was pro-snyd in real lifez as well

[Cartierfor3]

I guess if it happens I'll take the exact stance I have with Weber.  I hate the hire, I think it was extremely short sighted and foolish, but I hope I'm dead wrong and am going to give the guy a chance. 

[wes mantooth]

pretty sure Bill knows more about football than any of us, if he's cool with Sean, so am I. 

[slobber]

As long as Webster is gone by the time Sean takes over, then I am fine with this. I just don't want two unexciting and, in all likelihood, horrible hires coaching at the same time.

[WillieWatanabe]

no

I am completely fine with anyone Bill wants as long as he is not related to them.

[KITNfury]

If we win a NC I won't give a eff about anything. It'll be the pinnacle that we'd never reach again in my life. I'd forever be 45 year old johnny football hero in the hall thinking about the good old days. No amount of suckitude some crap tastic coach we have could ever bring me back.

This is probably true for me as well, and it is what I based my comment on. As you all know, I am 100% on team:gonnawineveryfuckingoneofthem this year. However, the thought of Webster and Sean coaching at the same time is a major downer.

[Emo EMAW]

You idiots.  NC's come in waves.  You win one and you're probably going to win another pretty soon from all the capital and recruiting interest injected into your program.

[AbeFroman]

If OB won a National Title I'd let him make Whitney the HCIW.

I'm getting to the point where I'm okay with this staff staying together for the sake of continuity...provided that the HC is Dimel (or someone else Bill brings in) and Dimel isn't opposed to bringing in coaches that can recruit.

A quick glance at the staff tells me that Snyder (72), Miller (62), Hayes (63), and Latimore (58) are probably looking at walking out the door together (or at least within a year or two of one another).  That would leave Dimel (48), Dickey (47), Smith (39), Joe Bob (35), Cox (45), and Sean (40).

Now, knowing that half of the staff probably walks out with Bill, does that mean we start over because we're essentially starting over anyway?  Or does that mean we let Dimel fill in the blanks with new guys?  What recruiters we actually do have would still be here with Dimel, so there may be a core to work with.

If Dimel takes over, the roster most likely stays intact, existing recruiting pipelines stay intact, and we keep the same offensive scheme (that's pretty good).  We'd have to hire new offensive and defensive coordinators, though, so there's an element of risk there.  Do we promote from within (Smith and Joe Bob) and get position players?  Does Beasley come back as QB coach?  Does Gordon come back?  Does Blake Seiler take Mo's place?

Sean as HC won't ever work for me (truthfully), but this scenario could if the situation worked out right.

If its a hire from the current staff, Dimel is the best option. He's sort of the Underwood of football.

[michigancat]

Sean hasn't coached a game here. I say give him a chance.

yeah, rumblings all that scheming everyone talks about is pretty much 100% dimel at this point

[steve dave]

and WTF Mo is seriously only 58? 

[Mixed-Nutz]

Not hiring Dimel would be a HUGE mistake, not building on the only football success we have ever had is quit short sighted.

I am #teamDimel if this is the case.  However, I am somewhat concerned that maybe we are being schemed to think that so that Sean can be promoted to OC by Dimel once Bill is gone per some super secrety agreement already in place btwn Dimel and Bill.

I am happy with all that Snyder has done, but still would have preferred Patterson.  Also, a national title would make me less likely to entrust the program to a little experienced coach such as Sean.

[CHONGS]

There is nothing Bill Synder can do to make me ok with hiring Sean.

Cut the ties completely as soon as he retires again.  100% turnover on staff (or as close to as possible).
