Message Board Hypotheticals...

Scenario 1:
We go 11-1 this season, losing in the National Championship in Nashville, TN to NDSU. Arizona finishes an abysmal season at 2-10 and immediately Hires Brennan Marion as HC. Marion brings much of his staff with him to UofA, as well as the Walter Payton Award winner Jaden Rashada. How do you fill the HC vacancy?

Scenario 2:
We go 5-7 this season, an FBS opportunity never materializes, nor do solid stadium plans. Marion accepts the OC position at Pitt. Guys entering portal left and right, pure chaos. What do we do?

What would you plan for if this is a one and done season for Marion? I'd be inclined to do whatever it took to keep either Merchant or Patterson on board as a HC for continuity's sake in either scenario. The wildcard in a Marion departure scenario??? Troy Taylor, lurking in the shadows eager for a second chance... which I would 100 give to him lol.

This is Docs vision at this stage -- not Orr's -- so it would be an even bigger name hire that could get this done to go along Bibby - who we all know won't get a one and done callup. So ex NFLers first coaching gig or big flashy coordinator with buzz.

I think the one thing that the fireworks showed me over the weekend is that the Athletic Department is based primarily on that at the moment. Fireworks. We need someone who brings excitement and positive buzz to the job.

Troy Taylor will never be at Sac State again so long as Dr. Wood is still the President.

I think Scenario 3 -- What happens if Dr. Wood leaves for a bigger University. That is the question. I'm not sure we would get blessed with a third straight "Athletics is the door step of the university" President. In fact, we might get the Sonoma State trim if we aren't careful.

Essential the point here is -- these next three years needs to go just right or the Athletic Department could be in trouble. We are taking BIG swings. If they end up being misses, the next President might come with a machete.

This is true. High risk, high reward game we're playing here. Wood went at this with everything he had, so it should have already been a win.

Time will tell.

All you people giddy with the Big Worst move this is the eventual scenario. Department is already postering so that if all this FBS fails and we are stuck with a lame duck football program it is easy to chop and sink into the CSU commuter campus conference. At least in the Big Sty, football was a mandate for membership. It insulated the program by requiring it to exist.

But people are happy with playing Bakersfield State in soccer and Foolerton in baseball and staying in the local Motel 6.

If this move was so magical why did Davis leave?

Season is less than 60 days away. Has the admin bought the whirly lights and whooppee cushions on Amazon Prime day yet? Or do they need to present to ASI for approval first?
