I am curious who people would hire as the new coach? Please say why? Be realistic.

Al Borges. Yes, Michigan's OC. That is realistic. While he was the OC at SDSU (2009-2010) he applied for the PDX St HC gig. Most likely, he still wants to be an HC and they're not happy with him currently in Ann Arbor. He's from Salinas, has coached all over the golden state. Think about what hiring him would do for local interest and especially recruiting!
Others I would hire:
Ben McEnroe from DIII Cal Lute. CLU has produced the likes of Urban Meyer, Greg Anderson and Tom Hermann. Coaching cradle.

Bob Stitt from DII Colorado School of Mines. Check out the football records. Multiple consecutive winning seasons. It's my understanding that CSM is a academic tough institution too.
John Wristen from DII CSU-Pueblo. He revived the program in 2008. Since 2009, the T-wolves have had winning seasons only. Three consecutive 11+ win seasons, including 2013. Also, he's coached at the FBS level, at UCLA and Kentucky under Rich Brooks.

My memory is incorrect. I thought Urban had been an assistant there too. His OC, Tom Herman, played and was an assistant at Cal Lute. Either way, some good coaches have come out of there.

I'm intrigued by the Mines pick, as they've done well recently.
But all y'all already know my picks and have already panned them (most of them, anyway). I'm not sure we should beat a dead horse here. (The dead horse in question being MY picks, of course.)

Right, but you didn't answer the question. You're a smart football fan. I'm sure you've looked at other teams or football personalities out there and said to yourself, "I would love to have him as hornet HC."
Who's on your wishlist, SD?
GoldenEagleHornet said:
My list of people I would like to see the Hornets explore are:
Beau Baldwin-man makes $105K a year and produces golden eggs on a regular basis
John Wristen-CSU Pueblo, of course he is talking to other people right now
Ed Lamb-SUU HC, his teams do more with less than most teams I have seen over the years

Al Borges is only a realistic candidate if Wanless can talk him into taking a $400+/year cut in pay. :lol:

What would be wrong with Mike Van Diest? If he could be enticed, anyway?

Isn't he the NAIA guy who quit at Carrol last season?

If he really wants to be an HC, I'm sure he would. So far there have been no FBS gentlemen callers. So what not start from the FCS level, at a school in a talent rich area and with very realistic potential.

Your idea wouldn't be so delusional if you were talking about someone like Robert Prince (younger and not currently making 3X what Sac could offer) but Al is closing in on 60 and NO ONE is going up give up that kind of money to coach at Sac State.

The money is great at UM, obviously, but he's not the head coach. 60 is still young. Had it not been for the ugly events at Penn St JoePA would still be coaching there. Bill Snyder and Chris Ault both over 75 and still coaching- one a HC and another a position coach in the NFL, respective.
You bring up Robert Prince as an example of a young up and coming coach??? False! In two seasons as bronco OC, they have regressed/under performed offensively.
Hell, Chris Ault would be a very good hornet HC prospect .

Chris Ault is NOT an NFL assistant...he is a consultant. HUGE difference.
Paterno is dead...and if he wasn't he'd be locked up or in hiding.
Snider is an institution, but at this point willingly admits he does very little coaching.
If you're trying to be funny, you're killing it. Hopefully you're not trying to impress people with your football IQ. That would just be sad.

There always isn't a "HUGE" diffence between consulting and being an associate/assistant coach.
I forgot about JoePa passing away shortly after the scandal. The point stands. He coached well beyond the retiring age.
Snyder is still the head coach, regardless of the amount of responsibility. He has a say in everything.
If you're trying to be a jackass, you're accomplishing it.

What's everyone's thought on Dave Christensen from Wyoming that was just let go?
Still a bag fan of Howard from Southern Oregon, although his success record wise hasn't been outstanding (14-8 in 3 seasons, respectable), his offensive production can't be denied so just make sure he brings his OC and I'm sold. Too bad he wasn't here the last 2 seasons, who knows what kind of numbers we would have put up in an air out spread, if we were able to set records this year running 3 pass plays, and a run game suited to our smaller statured running backs as opposed to attempting to run power with 3 backs under 185 pounds and no taller than 5'8.
Let's go get Orgeron!

Since we are stuck with Sperbeck for 2 more years not sure if there is much to talk about on this thread. Realistically the only people with HC experience we can hire are at a comparable FCS program or a D2 program. JC HC is a non-starter imo, we have that now. I don’t know much about the D2 coaches being thrown around here but I think that is a good place to start.GoldenEagleHornet said:
Next on the pecking order are coordinators looking to make the step up to HC. So probably a coordinator at a low level FBS program or top notch FCS program would be a realistic hire. I have no interest in a JC coordinator. JC HC only took us so far, no reason to believe a JC coordinator would do anything notable.
Wishlist:
Dave Schramm, Fresno State OC – Probably not realistic even though his salary would double if he took the HC job here. He can probably land a low level FBS HC gig somewhere, but staying in state might be appealing to him. He is an SDSU alum so probably has his eyes set on that job whenever it opens up, serving as a successful FCS HC could be a nice resume’ builder when that opportunity arises.

Dale Lindsay, USDiego HC – USD DC prior to his promotion when SJSU hired away Caragher. USD has been a hotbed of coaches lately. Lindsay is an older coach and has spent a lot of time in SoCal, probably is not interested in leaving the area.

In all honesty, I really thought the administration should have given Tedford a call. I know he would be a shot in the dark, but with his Northern California/valley ties, I'm not sure it would have been out of the question. Tedford was great at making the most of leftover players, knows how to push for facility improvements, and would probably help us up our recruiting game. It seems he's in the running for the Wyo job now, but I thought he wold have been perfect. Maybe I put too much stock into our ability to attract his servces. BCS to FCS may have been too steep a drop.
SDH, I too was thinking of Dave Schramm. However, I doubt he'd be in the running. I personally think he's one of the front runners for the HC job when DeRuyter is wooed away. But is certainly put him high on the wish list.
