Coaching Candidates

According to Bruce Feldman, Pat Narduzzi is the early frontrunner.

Is he citing a source at BC this time, or is this from that article he wrote Monday where he said Narduzzi was the best fit for BC?

Me and you and Whipple and Boo.

According to Bruce Feldman, Pat Narduzzi is the early frontrunner.

Feldman has been mentioning Narduzzi as a candidate since before the 2012 season. Given that we have a new AD (which would presumably change the candidate list), I wonder if this means he's doing it as a favor for Narduzzi. That said, Feldman is certainly plugged in so I definitely think what he says could have some merit.

It's from yesterday it appears.

for those with ESPNU, Kent State/Darrell Hazell behind the scenes show for the next 30 minutes started at 1130 EST

Kent State freshman kicker: I'd hit it.

Which one?

Narduzzi is pretty far down my list of choices.

Heres a new name. Todd Grantham.. I kind of like it.

Joe Schad ‏@schadjoe
Todd Grantham, whose D is fifth in the SEC (2nd red zone D) at Georgia, could get a look from North Carolina State, Boston College

Grantham is not going to pass BC's character test. He got into a verbal fight/near fistfight with Franklin last year and did the choke sign to an opposing player during a game once. He's a bit of a nut. As much as I would love to see our Head Coach make a throat slash or "suck it" gesture, that is not going to fly when you claim you want someone who oozes integrity.

He's a perfect fit for NC State.

Charmichael has already been in for an interview.

[HJS]

I will be disappointed if Bates doesn't interview a ton of people. But, once an interview happens, the clock starts ticking. Coaches get very anxious after they interview and don't immediately get an offer. This is likely because most schools do everything in days... not weeks. That perhaps is possible if you are using a firm and there are a series of prelim interviews before they ever see campus. I just hope that BB lets everyone he talks to know the extended time line... but, at the same time... he needs to realize that by this time next week he needs to have a clear idea of his top choices.

FWIW, the 49ers play at the Patriots on 12/16.

regarding Carmichael and someone mentioning earlier this page that he was already interviewed.....

#Saints OC Pete Carmichael said he's heard nothing from BC about the job and hasn't even had time to think about it.

Twitter rumor says Tennessee will be visiting Al Golden tomorrow.

An Al Golden hire will not satisfy those whackos.

Doesn't Nawlins have a Thursday game??? No effing way he has time to interview before that. He would, however, have plenty of time to interview Friday or Saturday.

Names most talked about at Cal

Peterson-pipe dream, probably-but he is a Northern California guy and a product of the UC system so not totally off the rails and his father still lives here.
Hue Jackson, whose candidacy seems to be mostly supported by Hue Jackson
McIntyre of San Jose State
Ron Rivera-Cal guy
Roman, although the knock here-interestingly-is that he is too cerebral a la Tedford ver 1.0 without the fire in the belly-see Jackson, Hue. Vic Fangio of the 49ers and Stanford also has his supporters.
Gary Anderson, though he's never been out of Utah.
Charlie Strong, he was actually a finalist when we hired Tedford along with Marvin Lewis but I think geography and an SEC job will lure him

[Shaddix]

Narduzzi is pretty far down my list of choices.

Surprising, he's an outstanding recruiter and even though at one point Michigan State fans were calling for his head....they actually love him now for the most part

I really like Roman for BC... so, I hope you guys look elsewhere. I think Rivera would be the ideal hire. Always liked him. McIntyre and DeRuyter also seem to be decent fits.

Mark Stoops to Kentucky. One less competitor.

http://www.wkyt.com/wymt/sports/headlines/Mark-Stoops-to-be-named-Kentucky-Head-Football-Coach-181026521.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Meh.

I would have thought Kentucky could do better. But then again, the Stoop name is huge in Ohio (and Oklahoma, Texas etc) area, and hence should lead to more successful recruiting.

Maybe his brother Bob will pass the leftover recruits to his kid brother.

He's done a really good job with the FSU defense. they will miss him next year.

Got the Carmichael info from someone on campus who claims to have seen him there yesterday.

fwiw, i doubt they're conducting interviews on campus for that exact reason.

[h2o]

Any news on Herm Edwards?

[tailgater94]

If Carmichael weren't a BC grad he wouldn't be on the radar at all... I think he needs to accomplish something beyond riding Peyton / Brees' coattails to a ring before he merits consideration for a HC job.

In his latest MMQB article, Peter King listed 10 NFL coordinators that would get consideration for NFL HC jobs, and PC was not on that list. He isn't on anyone's list anywhere except his alma mater.

[Shaddix]

Is Spagnuolo being considered, or has his name came up at all? I know he's from Grafton and has college experience

Roman isn't on that list either. And I, for one, think he's done plenty to warrant consideration for a college head coaching job.

Without looking, did King have the Raiders current head coach on his list? I'm guessing not (as a Raider fan, I can't even name him).
