http://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-footballs-top-coordinators-rise-2015 Slow day as for news so here is a list of names one of which has been mentioned. Most of our other contenders don't make the list.

i wonder how serious of a candidate he is ? On paper looks like it would be a great hire . Do we know if he got an interview . He also looks like Matthew mcconaughey , if you are into that . Would be a home run hire.

If Chip is staying at ASU until after signing day but plans on joining TM on the Tampa Bay staff. That would explain not taking our head coaching job. More likely he felt he could not be involved in a drawn out search and remain in good standing at ASU with so little time until signing day

Is anyone doing a minute to minute update on his official visit today?

just hear me out. Think about it. He does want to be a head coach again and I know he wants a P5 job but either he hasn't been offered the right one or he hasn't been offered at all. As far as experience, he has it. He was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders, Head Coach of the Tenn Vol, Head Coach of the USC Trojans and now OC of the Alabama Crimson tide. You have to admit that is an impressive resume for anyone. I know he made a lot of mistakes early on in his career, but he has matured a lot since then. I know we can't pay what he is making now, but he might just want to come here to make a name for himself and to prove to others that he can be a great head coach again. After all, you and I know we are the proving grounds and stepping stones for coaches wanting to better themselves. But we are also using them! Why not let Kiffin recruit us some 3,4,and maybe a 5* player that we all know that he can and will do. So when it is his time to move on, just as the others have (not including EJ ) we will be in better shape and start the process all over again until we attain the Elite status that we hope to do in the future.

I never hear the name of Buddy Stephens from EMCC bounced around for potential D-1 jobs. I know nothing about the guy other than what I have read on his bio. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into him. He has been dominate in Juco ranks.

Just came across this article about a QB that committed to UNT. One of those kids that was incredible in HS, but didn't get highly recruited for whatever reason. I'm not sure how it will translate to D1, but he throws a nice ball, and seems to do a good job of hitting his receivers in stride. 3 or 4 inches taller, and he may have had a lot of offers.

the circumstances and the usual contracts we give coaches that only favor the coaches...Ellis Johnson et al.

I hope this guy meant well, but wow.

Was he signed doing the early signing period in December .

Bill Clark is one of the best up and coming Head Coaches in FBS. He stepped into a mess at UAB and went on to put together a solid staff and season. He hired Woofin as S&C at UAB. He don't have a full coaching staff around him so I think he would be okay with retaining a staff that was part of a 9 win season. He comes from a defensive pedigree but lets his offensive coaching staff run their offense. The best part of Clark is he has already been a CEO at an FBS school and it wont be a learning curve for him.

just checking to see how your bride is doing?

hizik, two SEC assistants in mix at Southern Miss?
By GridironNow.com Staff on January 26, 2016


Insiders tell GN that among the candidates for the Southern Miss coaching vacancy is North Carolina defensive coordinator Gene Chizik.

Among others being considered are North Carolina co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic, Ole Miss co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Matt Luke and Florida offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier.



Southern Miss is seeking a coach to replace Todd Monken, who left over the weekend to become offensive coordinator of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kapilovic is a former Southern Miss assistant. Luke is a Mississippi native who attended Ole Miss.

New Arizona State offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey — who had held that role at Southern Miss until leaving for ASU in early December — was said to be a candidate with the Golden Eagles, but media reports Tuesday have him remaining at Arizona State.

Chizik, 54, has been a head coach at Iowa State (2007-08) and Auburn (2009-12); he won a national title with the Tigers in 2010. He was out of football for two years before UNC coach Larry Fedora — himself a former Southern Miss coach — tabbed him to run the Tar Heels’ defense this past season.

But there is no truth that he will fight Rhonda Rowsey

Has yurchich or any big 12 off. Coordinators been contacted? i am worried about sec retreads and division 2 head coaches with Mississippi ties. This is a good job. Monken wanted this job. Heck he might end up an nfl head coach one day. We need to go with what has worked in the past.

Just got information that former Gulf Coast CC coach Steve Campbell is in the mix,

Remember when Monken got a little upset over timing of Lindsey's departure to ASU?

how good a decision it was (or wasn't) to hire Bill McGillis as AD. I think this is a real test for him. To state the obvious, what he does now will make a very big difference to a lot of people for at least the next four years. There are so many variables in the situation that it gives me a headache thinking about it. I am glad that I'm not the one who has to make this decision.

turn this down or did he blow the interview or ask for something we couldn't give him.
