NEW HEAD COACH WISH LIST

[Ewupride]

No you can't take away isu, he was in a horrible situation and that will stick with him, but given a chance I believe john zamberlin is probably the best fit for the program right now, and with the relationships he has with the current coaches and Baldwin you have to believe they are vouching for him, I believe he is a very serious candidate for this job

On top of that he is one of the most well known and respected coaches in the state of Washington, to down play zamberlin and his abilities to coach is disrespect

:dead:

Had his moment 15+ years ago when he was 45... Am sure he is accomplished, but he is not "in the moment" when it comes to Eastern football today. Glad you aren't on the committee..

to down play zamberlin and his abilities to coach is disrespect

if this was the draft, I would call this statement Mr. Irrelevant.

Now if he was the Tigercat cheerleader coach....

Man you must not know much a about football and what qualifys someone for a coaching position, it's probably best you leave this conversation and go look at some more cheerleaders

I'm not sure anyone can win consistently at ISU.

Truth. But we weren't exactly a powerhouse when B took over either. Under-funded, poor facilities, etc.

Granted, but even pre-Baldwin, there is really no comparison between the programs in terms of results on the field. We were winning conference championships and Payton Awards before Beau...you could argue that he was a large part of that as the OC - but he was not the one with ultimate responsibility over the program as HC.

In 2017, whoever takes over in Cheney will be walking into a considerably better situation than basically any other Big Sky program, save maybe UM or MSU...and we have surpassed both of them in terms of national relevance.

Say what you want about Zamberlin (and I am not advocating for him), but when was the last time ISU did anything? It's not just a Zamberlin thing. Mike Kramer had success at both EWU and MSU, yet he's been unable to get anything going at ISU save for one decent season.

It would take a coach of transformative abilities to make ISU a consistent winner on the field. They are simply disadvantaged in many regards in comparison to a program like EWU.

Take it to the bank: Zak Hill not taking Eastern Washington job per close source. Part $ , part Boise, part shooting for bigger targets.

@JeffCaves @EasternerSports would of been a great hire. Watch this name Torey Hunter. I think would be an amazing hire for eastern.

*Hmmm...couldn't find much on Torey Hunter.

Torey Hunter coached DB's at EWU during Baldwin's first few seasons as HC to include the 2010 season. I believe he's currently on the Edmonton Eskimos staff.

McPherson was quoted by Jim Allen that the new HC "rumor" it will be internal.

McPherson said Wednesday that “the morale in the locker room is not too bad, because we know we’re going to hire from within.”

With the last couple recruiting classes, this year's class, and the talent EWU has returning going internal makes sense than bringing in an external hire who would want his staff.

If Chaves is looking for 9-10 win seasons the next 2-3 years to get funding for the new stadium this seems logical.

Again, I don't know why so many are making this assumption.

Possibly because it's true?

You could of put it better, I think 100% zamberlin is a great coach and the best fit for our program and the current staff right now, and can do big things for our team including building a strong and consistent defense

So Zamberlin may or may not be a candidate and we know where your vote would go if you had one. Any other ideas on legitimate contenders?

because people close to the program are saying it. I'd put money on Aaron Best.

Meant to say couldn't have put it better, others? I would say Bobby hauk or zamberlin are the only two since hill is out. I feel zamberlin and hauk or equal in ability and caliber but zamberlin upper hand for his ties

 

[Seattle Eagle]

Does anyone on this forum honestly believe Bobby Hauck is seriously being considered?

Not really but he did a great job at Montana, if there going to hire outside the most serious contender is zamberlin

Interesting. Ty is from Spokane.

 

[Hambone]

Does anyone on this forum honestly believe Bobby Hauck is seriously being considered?

I don't. I think it's merely some speculation on the part of a few posters. Hauck doesn't make sense for a multitude of reasons.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

I figured Gregorak would get some consideration. I'd still be very surprised if he beat out either in house candidate.

Agreed.

 

[ewueagfan]

Interesting that the article mentions Cozetto who is the head coach at Phoenix college where Robin Pflugrad is the OC. I still think Pflugrad would be a great hire for EWU.

 

[Eagle Talon]

You can put the Pflugrad stuff to rest right now. NCAA sanctions plus Title IX shenanigans = kiss of death for college head coaches. There is exactly zero chance whatsoever that Chaves will even consider him.

 

[EWURanger]

Does anyone on this forum honestly believe Bobby Hauck is seriously being considered?

No. Montana guy with no connections to EWU. Won't happen.

Hayford had no ties to EWU.

Will try to use small words. Am I supposed to thank you for your ham fisted diatribe for Zamberlin? How you present a point, which may have had some value stated once or twice, doesn't actually lend it any more credence the more times you say it. Your lack of humor is the most telling point of all. In the end, this isn't going to be a fan choice. Your behavior suggests you should go back to eGriz now you've had your fun. Zamberlin :roll: :rofl:
