    • I hate coach in waiting 100 percent of the time. Not worth it. If he leaves, he leaves* - By Rich August 6, 2026 at 12:38:44 PM
    • Yeah, so Whitt is retiring and OC Jason Beck is being coveted by other P4 programs.* - By gbmcq August 6, 2026 at 12:36:40 PM
      • In that scenario, there would be an external candidate more coveted than Beck* - By Rich August 6, 2026 at 12:39:39 PM
  • Depends on how things shake out. If we have a dominant defense and it's Jay Hill, I'd be open to it. He was an outstanding lower level HC.* - By Bluebuck August 6, 2026 at 12:17:12 PM

  • It depends on who the internal candidate is and why they are being chosen* - By WOK August 6, 2026 at 11:42:58 AM
  • Probably not; would depend who else is out there* - By Rich August 6, 2026 at 11:42:19 AM
    • Contin, I'd rather go for a guy with ties who left and proved himself elsewhere... - By Rich August 6, 2026 at 11:48:39 AM
