Coaches Out There!

[GrizzlyRider07]

Okay so with all these rumors about Coach RS heading to Florida, what coach would be a great hire to replace him? Are there any hot names out there that we would want to go after? I know Coach B will find someone great I'm sure just like he did with Coach R. Smith. I'm thinking he will try and find someone with great Florida ties too since Randy Shannon was the only one left. I believe we will be able to pull a really good coach from another program because of our success we've started having.

[Arkansas Fan]

DJ Durkin?

[hoglady]

I have total faith in Coach B to make the right hire.
He did a great job last off season with his defensive hires (as evidenced on the field) - no reason to think he won't make another.

[Swine Superior]

Greg Schiano. Robb Smith and South Florida ties.

[GrizzlyRider07]

I would love to add Greg Schiano I feel like that would be a great hire but he's one you couldn't count on being here for awhile either because I believe he's still wanting a head coaching job!

[bulldog04]

Ed Orgeron

[Dominicanhog]

DJ Durkin?

he would be interesting... I mentioned Michael Barrow in another thread....

[RazorPiggie]

DJ Durkin?

He'll be a DC somewhere.

[Go hogs go]

ED O is a Dl coach all hes ever coached. dont know if segrest has ever coached lbs. But Ed O as a recruiting cordinator and dl coach would be sweet. not happening though

[RazorPiggie]

Ed Orgeron

Only been a LBers coach once and that was back in 94. But would be an upgrade in recruiting.

[RazorPiggie]

Is he still on Sabbatical?

[AugustaHog]

Ok, I know Schiano is a total pipe dream, but having him here for a year or two while he was waiting on the right job, would be awesome.  Give him a mil a year as associate head coach/LB coach and let him go to work.  He's the real deal and would probably be an upgrade over RS.

Just don't see his name being mentioned a lot.He may have to start over somewhere and the blend in philosophies would be an advantage we may not have had with Shannon.
I think he visited this past spring  as well.
As long as we have success we are going to have coaches leaving regardless.

How would that impact recruiting though? I hope we get another Pittman type of recruiter on the defensive side of the ball.

[HF#1]

Good news is that Brett has a ton of flexibility should RS leave.

I expected Randy Shannon to go sooner rather than later, but just don't understand why he'd go for such a lateral move.  I can't imagine Florida will pay him that much more a non coordinator role. Home state/recruiting ties may make sense, but does this guy not want to be a DC or HC somewhere again?  I've got to think there is some team out there that would give this guy a better title and a raise.

[SquidBilly]

Mike Singletary is available.  Or go get a guy like Brian Urlacher.  Both still have name recognition and both certainly know a thing or two about playing linebacker.

He's going home though. It's hard to get upset about losing a guy that may just simply want to go home.

I agree, I don't get a lateral move like this, mainly because our program is on the rise and there is alot of grey area in the Florida program. However, their defense is full of athletes.

Titles don't mean much.  Anything other than OC/DC is just a way to get someone more money.

[Tim Harris]

We have to add someone with recruiting ties in Florida.  We have now lost our 2 best recruiters in South Florida.

[IBleedRazorbackRed]

What about this resume:

He joined San Francisco after having spent eight years coaching in the collegiate ranks. In 2010, he was the nickel back/assistant linebackers coach for a University of Wisconsin team that finished the year ranked seventh in the nation with an 11-2 record.

Prior to joining the Badgers, Jackson coached at Tulane University, serving as the linebackers/kickoff team coach (2009), the safeties/kickoff team coach (2008) and the defensive backs coach (2007). Jackson spent three seasons as the defensive backs coach at Louisiana-Monroe (2004-06), where he coached All-Sun Belt Conference defensive back Chris Harris, who led the country with seven interceptions, in 2004. He also spent one year as the defensive backs coach for the University of Idaho (2003). 

Played at lsu (Louisiana recruiting)
From Miami (south Florida recruiting)
Experience coaching linebackers and secondary (allows robb smith to do whichever he is more comfortable at)

Think they replace Michael smith with George McDonald?

[GrizzlyRider07]

Now these two names definitely stand out to me! I believe this is the true definition of a wish!! I'd love to have Brian Urlacher but I think the lack of coaching experience would keep that from happening. But imagine this man walking into a kids home to recruit him, that would almost be a done deal for linebackers!! Who wouldnt want to be coached by a HOFer. Mike Singletary though would also be a great LBer coach as well though.

Without Smith we have no Louisiana recruiter.

Greg Jackson who is currently still employed by the 49ers.

[The_Iceman]

Greg Jackson who is currently still employed by the 49ers.

I'm sure he will be looking for a new job. The new coach will probably bring in his own staff.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Smith has coached RB's in the past. It will be interesting to see how everything shakes out

[Kevin]

With how cbb has done the hire since he has been here, it will be somebody nobody predicts

[BrassNunchucks]

Tommy thigpen

[Kevin]

Wasn't smith the lb coach at Tampa. If so there is flexibility in the hire

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Tommy thigpen

Currently makes $345,000. I'm sure UT would match anything as he was responsible for 15 commits last.

I know he is from Arkansas. But is he more of an East Coast guy now?

worked last time and he has CBB connections...

could be wrong, but I'm betting we go young, energetic and hungry....

[online-with-swine]

That may be key.  We need a slam dunk recruiter first, preferably with ties to Florida or Texas.

CBB is big friends with this guy. His recent success as DC wasn't great. But he did win an NC as a DC with OSU

[Hogdomer]

Coaching search says Andy Buh.

[The_Iceman]

http://www.gofrogs.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/demontie_cross_837200.html

Would be an excellent hire, IMO. What does he make?

[hoghearted]

Coaching search says Andy Buh.

Did they correctly predict the Robb Smith hire last year? Did anyone, for that matter?

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

worked last time and he has CBB connections...

It was a great find. I love playing this game.

For Dline coach I found about 8 different names connected to CBB. The we hired Rory Segrest. Lol

[bulldog04]

Jon Gruden or Tony Dungy

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Coaching search says Andy Buh.

They say he could be an option. The didn't say he is for sure the guy.

Buh is for sure an option.

[Kevin]

Don't think he goes the way of an old Wisconsin coach. We are not running that type of defense now.

I would think smith, Jennings & segrist wiok have a say in it
