I am not going to lie... I would be so in... Not sure we would sign off on that after what happened but I would be very excited if that happened.

If that is true, then all the talk about Heeke looking for a clean candidate are bull. Les might be clean, Freeze is the exact opposite. I think that package would be quite interesting, but im not buying it.

Freeze knows what he's doing on the field. Off the field, there are NCAA issues and the prostitution thing. It's pretty stark as to what you say about Freeze. On field performance, legit. Off field, it's a bad look.

Edited to add an article about NCAA sanctions for Freeze.

Recruiting violations on top of hookers? In the environment currently, just can't see that happening. Certainly has some success at Ole Miss though.

They will likely not be worse than now. Thanks Miller and Byrne and RR and whatever that track coach is named.

"Why not, things can't get worse" isn't exactly an inspiring message to lead with. Freeze is a good coach, but that is not an exclusive market.

You'll hear a lot of back and forth and twisted stuff all here and there. Coaching searches are worse than recruits choosing schools.

At this point I think it is Miles, Freeze or not. My excitement will be contingent on the OC hire.

Chief is correct. Coaching searches are worse than recruits choosing schools. This post kind of overlaps a number of different areas but it has to go somewhere. If even a few of the allegations about RR are true and I tend to think they are, his firing is more than justified. I honestly can't say much about the way Heeke has handled it. Especially if he knew weeks ago he had already made up his mind about it. Why weren't things ready to go. As far as I know the job isn't even posted yet and we can't announce a new coach until the job has been posted for ten days. This is one reason I hate starting over. Its always a mess and unless the last coach left a lot of talent behind and we know this one didn't, the first year is really difficult. We need to know who the new coach will be for a lot of reasons. This board needs to know so we know who to like or hate whatever the case may be. The players need to know and the new recruits need to know. The clock is ticking on this and I have some hopes that some of the recruiting can be salvaged.

What is a worse decision: using a work phone subject to FOIA to call escort services, or having one of your affairs stand between your wife and other affair on the sideline?

FWIW Dodd at CBS says: "Sources have indicated, for now, former Texas A&M Kevin Sumlin may not be a candidate."

To me, this reads like his sources have no idea.

He paid his price, pun intended. He would be incredible here. With Miles, Freeze and Yates UofA would have the best combo of coordinators and head coach in the conference along with 18 returning starters. HELLO ROSE BOWL!

Just meant as a thought experiment and slight curiosity. One is RR so this isn't about our options

Because I think Sumlin could do much better at recruiting, keep Yates and provide an attendance spike which is badly needed.

I should put in for that. It's a salary bump, normal 40 hours a week and only requires a bachelors. My JD means I'm almost overqualified.

We might not be able to afford Sumlin or afford to wait till the end of January.

I am tired of triple digit undersized defenses. Plus, I agree with Chief that we need to spark attendance. Yates doesn't do that.

I'd like him a lot better as a recruiting coordinator/Co-D/c. It's just a hard sell if you have other names like Miles (national championship as a HC) out there. I get the appeal of an alum, but generally D-line coaches are not in the running for a P5 HC position, period.

I feel like a lot of this is just impossible without knowing who actually is able to be acquired. Yeah, I'd take him over Butch Jones. There are other names out there that I wouldn't feel the same way about.
