HC

I am not going to bash any candidate. However, looking at history there have not been any high school coaches that made a transition to Div 1 head coaching that were successful. Just look at North Texas head coach Todd Dodge. He was suppsoed to be the best high school coach in the country, winning 5 state titles in Texas. 5-31 in 3 years there and fired.
 
Fedup

Actually North Teaxs has tried and failed at this twice. Three coaches before Todd Dodge you'll find Dennis Parker. Back to Back state titles in Texas at Marshall, Texas.
Great guy- friend of our family- failed at the D1 level.

High school ball and college ball is not the same.
 
Get past this High School vs College ball thing. None of those guys you speak of have the same credentials as Logan . If he turns out to be the one our athletic dept. will change dramatically for the good

Meh. Parker won a 5A state championship and then parleyed it into a head coaching gig at UNT. Epic Fail.

Dodge, on the other hand, was a QB at Texas, and then became a successful head high school coach by winning several state championships at Southlake Carroll. He was also known as an offensive innovator, too. His jump from a head high school coach to a DI head coach was a colossal failure as well.

I'd like for Logan, if he actually is the hire, to be the exception and turn out to be successful. However, I'm rather dubious.
 
I understand where you are coming from, just don't agree with this one. If it were anybody else, I would agree with you! Go Bears

Fair enough, my friend. Like I said, if Logan is the guy, then I truly hope he works out. I really do. I just think the transition is a lot harder than most think it is.
 
Makes me wonder if Monfort or someone else ponied up some serious cash in order to convince Logan to interview.

I agree, it's just odd we have this big search, indetify 5 canidates, they interview... we're about to make a hire and then BOOM Logan shows up out of the blue and everything gets pushed back.

There is way more to this story that I'm sure will all come out in due course.
 
I don't know if Logan is the right move or not. I could get behind it. Saying that a high school coach could not win though - I don't think that is the case. It will be difficult but UNC and the big sky is also not FCS like North Texas.
