Can someone please throw out a coaching hire rumor?

Pete Carroll was seen working out and lifting weights at the football complex. Reportedly challenged several players to a 40 yd. sprint and he beat Rodgers and Woody Marks.

It took me a while to break the code, but if you go back and look at Selmon’s email about the coaching search, the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th letters are
S-t-o-o-p-s!

C34… deal is done just getting last minute contract details worked out

Make it up. Say you have sources. I don’t care.

Think real life Ted Lasso only in reverse

Currently there is a top secret press conference being prerecorded in the Gulf Shores high school gym. Mark Hudspeth just took off and threw his silver Splash beanie and put on his MSU maroon is all that matters cap! The video will be played on the old Jumbotron at the egg bowl. Its a done deal!

I don't feel like any of the guys on the hot board here or genes page will be the guy. It usually never is. Or it's someone rarely mentioned.

Manny Diaz.

It‘s Groundhog Day, again.

This thread says lie to me. Jeeze.

Wasn't supposed to say anything, but Jason Candle will be announced on 12/3. Done deal.

A name not mentioned for the MSU job, Jason Candle, the HC at Toledo. He didn't deny he is a candidate.

I heard Bud Elliot talking about Candle in relation to the Syracuse opening. It sounds like Toledo has a lot of resources relative to the rest of the MAC and often underperforms.

The latest rumor is that Chadwells buyout is 4 million. If State can't scrape up 4 million for a buyout we just aren't serious. This man has turned 2 programs into winners and has a 3rd team undefeated in his first season. It's obvious he can evaluate talent and actually teach his scheme to his players in the off season.

 

[Dawg1976]

Actually the latest serious rumor is Barry Odom. He was 25-25 at Missouri but is 8-2 at UNLV. Supposedly he will bring Kendal Briles as OC. Hard to be fired up about Odom but could work if he can truly bring a good OC.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Yeah. I heard that about 3 days ago. No way he can bring Briles here. Why would Briles come here ? There was a thread about that. I can't see it happening.

Odom with Briles would be okay. I'm just not excited about what happens after Briles leaves - and he will leave. Just think about how many defensive coordinators we went through under Mullen - having constant turnover at OC seems like a disaster waiting to happen (see Arkansas 2023, Kentucky 2022, etc. etc.). Mullen also had turnover at OC, but everyone knew he called the shots.

I kind of want Bob Stoops. Why not? Dude is a winner, big time name.

Not a rumor, but this search seems to be a lot more "tight lipped" than the last two open searches we had (Joe and Leach) and more similar to when we hired Dan. Not a lot of info out there.

If I remember correctly, no one had any idea it was leach until about 1 or 2 days before it became officially unofficial with reliable sources saying it was a done deal.

 

[paindonthurt]

Leach was at least the 3rd person lined up for the job and was out of desperation...... Napier, Judge, and one other (cannot recall) were all supposedly the "man" before they werent.

SUPPOSEDLY!!

 

[Dawgg]

Jerry Kill… we’re guaranteed to at least beat Auburn.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

If we hired Odom and I hope not why would he not bring his current OC with him ?? Why pay extra to get the guy stinking it up at TCU ??

Bobby Hall was on campus Saturday.

Judge was real. Not sure how close the deal was but the process was cut short by the NYG offer. I don't know that Napier was real beyond just him being contacted.
