Coaching Candidates

[mloyko54]

Update from TOS... Bill O'Brien "seriously considered" the BC job but is staying at BC.
- This truly is a national search with many people consulted on possible hires
- Interviews will start this weekend, with one of the coordinators that has been talked about interviewing first
- Pete Lembo has emerged as a serious candidate.

It should be noted that the "coordinators" mentioned on TOS are Roman, Narduzzi, Carmichael and Diaco. One is interviewing this weekend.

Which one? Does it rhyme with "noman"?

By the way, aren't Roman, Narduzzi and Diaco Itralians? Sheesh.

[mloyko54]

Wouldn't say until after they interview. I would think it's either Diaco or Narduzzi, unless Roman is interviewing tomorrow and flying to StL with the 49ers later. No matter which one it is, just those names along make it a much better coaching search than anything GDF did.

It's also stressed how impressed people close to the situation are with the coaching search BB is running. Truly looking nationally for the best candidate. The time table at the latest is to have a coach by the end of finals.. december 18th. Unless it's Golden it won't be know for a week or two most likely.

I am well aware that houston hired the special teams coach who had been at UH longer than KK, and a year later KK did pretty well with a redshirt frosh at QB in the top conference in cfb. Why didnt Roman get Stanford job? You could probably question a lot of these candidates.

And Sullivan. I wouldn't think it's Roman or Sullivan as they each have games to prepare for (I personally would view a candidate who is willing to fly to Boston for an interview the day before his current team's game negatively). I'd expect any NFL guys to interview Monday or Tuesday of next week.....unless their team has a Thursday game, as the Saints did last night. My guess is PCJ, with Diaco also a strong possibility (good time for him to interview as it'll be the only couple days for the next month-plus that ND will be briefly out of the national spotlight).

HJS - seems like Cal is interested in Troy Calhoun.

Sources tell me Cal names include Sonny Dykes, Tim DeRuyter, Troy Calhoun. Told people are pushing Sandy Barbour to interview Justin Wilcox.

Pete Lembo would be a positively awful hire.

Agreed I want nothing to do with him. He would be the most uninspiring hire possible.

Heard Bates had a long conversation today with a caller from a California area code. Yes, as part of the coaching search. Person who told me knows who it was but wouldn't say anything more than that.

Monte KIffin?? He is available. We need a defensive genius.

Or is it Romo?? We need a pharmacist.

Or is it Norv Turner. We need another 60+ failure running the show. Hey Norv has HC and OC experience....

Let's get serious fellas, this coach is coming from eithe rthe Northeast or the MAC/Midwest. Get a grip.

[Walsh601]

Unlike Doeren and Hazell, Lembo has never recruited at the BCS level. He would be a huge risk.

[JesuitIvy]

It could have just been someone in California that day. Aero planes have revolutionized modern travel.

Mike MacIntyre?

Agreed he looks like a schlub. I want a motivator not my father-in-law.

Works all right for Chris Snee.

I'm not a big fan of Lembo and didn't even have him on my list of favorites. But, he is considered a brilliant football coach. How would that translate at BC, I don't have a clue. I'd be afraid that he'd be a Coach Don... great Xs and Os, but can't get the Jimmys and Joes to be successful at this level. I view him like I do Wilder, but Wilder seems to at least be a good snake oil salesman. Nonetheless, there is nothing wrong with BB exploring a coaching genius and making the determination whether he can recruit.

* It should be noted that Rivals ranks BSU, KSU and NIU are 1st, 7th and 10th respectively in the MAC recruiting rankings (all with similar amount of recruits committed).

Bates thinking way outside the box.

I like it.

[flyingelvii]

It will certainly help with 74's goldilocks/dreadlocks dilemma. Plus, now that he's a Rasta, we can move our wall from the ISL to Jamaica.

[HJS]

We certainly wouldn't have to worry about players getting kicked off because of non-disclosed "team violations"'.

It seems to work for Oregon & Georgia & OSU & Bama & LSU etc etc.
Maybe he could convince Honey Badger into transferring to BC.

[whalepants]

The two names I'm still hearing every day are Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.

[eagle9903]

Jones to Purdue

Nevermind unconfirmed

"What the fuck happened to you, man? Shit, your ass used to be beautiful!"

[maxwell22]

new name: Mike Bajakian

Fuck no! We lose out to Purdue for Jones, so instead, we're going to settle for the OC off his 4th place NBE team????

[MattTheEagle]

Jones shouldn't even be considered for the BC job. Lack of recruiting and virtually no experience at any decent fb school.

Ugh... why is it the more names that get mentioned in the press associated with this search, the less impressive they are. Wonder if being left outside the 64 has anything to do with it?

[Walsh601]

Even if it doesn't, fact is any Big 4 team can easily outbid us.

[PhillyandBCEagles]

Yeah, that site seems legit

Plus he's not a new name, merrymen and the Blaudschun types were mentioning his name a while ago. I'll be thrilled with any of Golden, Diaco, or Roman and would be happy with MacIntyre, Doeren, or Hazell (as long as he doesn't keep Bollman around). I think there's a good chance we end up with one of those six.

This is not really true.
