Or any other Patriot...

Alabama head coach Nick Saban is in Macon today at Noxubee Co. HS, where five-star DE Jeffery Simmons is.

I personally think this dark horse coaching candidate could be Todd Monken all over again. He applied for the head job when we hired Monken three years ago but was green at that point. He was the OC for Alabama when they won the national championship. He then took a job with Michigan which crumbled under Brady Hoke but was well regarded enough to get hired by Jim Mcelwain. Blaming him for Florida being inept on offense would be no different than blaming Monken for our pathetic offense two years prior to this one. They had a QB transfer, a redshirt freshman quarterback go down after they got things rolling, and they put in a kid who can't throw against S.E.C defenses. This guy is 45, "fiery", a former quarterback and well-regarded quarterback coach, and he believes he's ready to be a head coach. Like Monken, he could be wiser and more prepared the second time around applying for the job. I'm very interested in this interview.

We would have set the bar low on our program. He may of had success in previous jobs but most offensive coordinators have success at Alabama Michigan etc... And to be frank Coach Saban didn't try to stop him from leaving Alabama for Michigan and Michigan coach Brady Hoke lost his job after Nussmeier became offensive coordinator there. Why? Because the offense was dreadful. Not to mention he does NOT run a spread offense! I just don' like this at all if its him.

Tweeted this morning that he has official visit in Hattiesburg set for Wednesday.

not a lot of Twitter chatter, if it indeed is Nussmeir.

Read Pruitt interviewed for the job.

Lanny or anyone, do you think we are really thinking about him. They run the spread at TCU. They throw the ball a lot. We are loading up with receivers and he is what our offense is all about. TCU scores tons of points that the other teams defense is on the field so much they are tired by the end of the half. Even though a new coach usually brings in his own coaches, he just might keep our OC and DC which would be a big plus for him and our team and recruiting. I give him the thumbs up over Nussmeier and his pro style of offense since we don't have the personnel for his style of game.

Not sure it means anything, but I am picking up more an more chatter on Florida OC Doug Nussmeier.

12 SEC teams on the list and Marshall too

see if you can find out if Doug N was at Bama with Woz.

on his new contract is $600,000. If he were a serious candidate that might be a deal breaker even with the money coming in from the Bucs for Monken.

Jeremy Pruitt, new defensive coordinator for Alabama.

WR From Phenix City, AL (Central HS) has set up a visit for this weekend. Currently committed to MTSU, and I read that he says the coaching situation has no affect on his decision. Two other sites have him rated as a 3 star. Does anyone know anything about this kid?

Tweeted that he was offered by Illinois today

Duggan. Let the fallout begin!! Hope I am dead wrong on this one!!

I personally don't like having a DC as HC in this league...slow and plodding reminds me too much of ELLLLLLLLLLLLOS. I understand the reason though wanting to keep the coach staff together. This situation reminds me of the Illinois coaching debable of the coach being fired right before the season beginning, then the interim was named HC at the end of the year. The interim coach was only offered a 2 year contract, though(I wouldn't see that happening though here). Trying to make the best out of bad situation. All I can say is the offense better not miss a beat even if a DC becomes HC.

Longest day so far in search for successor to Monk. Twitter fool last night likely sealed a d info leaks about our search or maybe an offer has been made and we're waiting to get some paperwork signed. This has been a looooong week already!!
SMTTT !!!

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?
