Yes.

Yes. No question. But is it significant? No candidates from a non Big 5 conference will care unless they think they will have other offers. All things being equal, if a guy gets a comparable offer, what is he going to do go Big Ten or ACC?
durkcal {l Wrote}:from the "dream" Blauds list, my ranking would be:
1) Doeren
2) Mullen
3) B O'Brien
4) Franklin
5) Diaco - I'd rank him higher, but I don't think he is ready
I would not want any of the rest. Hopefully the search will look at a lot of better candidates.
PhillyandBCEagles {l Wrote}:How about Ed Orgeron? A bit older than I'd like (51) and not a great gameday coach, but as good a recruiter as there is in college football. Obviously not a northeast guy, but has spent time at USC, Syracuse, and Miami and in the pros so wouldn't be a total fish out of water at BC. And he's known for building great defensive lines, which IMO is the first area we need to rebuild. Just a thought but an intriguing one(ellipses)

I don't want Diaco only because i think the 3-4 is fucktarded in college. it can only work at an SEC school or ND because they can get the rare NT that's big and fast. those guys don't grow on trees and are the key to the 3-4 working. he has done wonders at ND though ; i expect he will do big things at an SEC-type school in the future.

Not unless we want massive NCAA violations. He's from Pete Carroll's staff. All of those guys had to know about the problems with Bush back then.

I think Doeren is more likely thank BOB, Mullen, or Golden. Other than Purdue, who is going to try to beat us out for him? The SEC schools are not going to hire a MAC coach, no matter how promising he looks.
kdurkin {l Wrote}:Northeast ties as a constraint makes no sense. You need a successful leader. If the best future leader of our football program is from Saturn, he'd be smart enough to hire people to help him recruit in convenient places! Chip Kelly doesn't seem to have spent a professional minute outside the NE before 2007, yet he might just be the most successful college head coach in a very removed outpost.
btw, Jim Caldwell is probably the best idea for our future head coach. Look no further than what Jim Mora Jr has done at UCLA. JC had a .540 winning % vs JM's .470 in NFL (Saban is at .469). And only 6 years older than Mora Jr., and of course younger than Saban.
Caldwell has to be easier to get than Mullen, Franklin or BOB.

HJS {l Wrote}:eagle9903 {l Wrote}:We would constantly be hearing his name whenever a B10 job opens (which will hinder his recruiting).
HJS {l Wrote}:As we finally embark on our long-awaited coaching search (and as I have spent over a year cultivating this list of candidate and frustratingly watched as quality candidates like Kevin Sumlin, Bill O'Brien and Paul Chryst were chosen by more proactive programs), I figured it would be a good time for me to go on record with the specific list of coaches I would have if I was the AD.
Here is my list, in order. Yes, ATLeagle, I know some would be a questionable "fit". Yes, merrymen, some of these names may use BC as a stepping stone and may leave for a better job in 3-5 years. Yes, BCWest, some of these names will be non-starters for Fr. Leahy due to dissimilar religious beliefs. But, this is MY list. And, I don't give a shit about fits... just wins. I feel that operating under the delusion that BC is some sort of uner-unique university (it's not) hinders us and results in us justifying failure. Nonetheless, you will note that the poorer fits are generally down the list. The thought is that as, you move down the list, I would be more willing to roll the dice with a great coach who is a poor cultural fit (rather than go with a great fit who might not be the best coach). I broke it up into 2 categories... reaches and targets. I also included a list of crap coaches who I have no interest in. Finally, there are some coaches who have been mentioned (MacIntyre, Campbell, Kingsbury, Bobo, Addazio) who I don't think will suck, but certainly think we can do much, much better.
