Cignetti would be my first choice, but he seems intent to stay in Indiana and likely wouldn’t leave for anything short of a blue blood school.

I would like to see the following at least interviewed before it’s just given to Scalley:

– Brian Johnson, he’s had coaching stops at Houston, Miss St & Florida with Dan Mullen, had a hand in coaching Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, and Jayden Daniels, also was the one to recruit Anthony Richardson to Florida.
– Spencer Danielson (BSU)
– Barry Odom (UNLV)
– Rhett Lashlee (SMU)
– Eric Morris (North Texas)

Sign me up as well. I’ll take 2 to 5 years that results in a playoff run over 20 years of consistency with a Rose Bowl loss ceiling.

[UM4G]

Yeah I debated including him for that reason, plus their boosters could probably match or exceed any offer we make. Left off the Louisville coach for the same reason.

[UM4G]

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I do not believe previous success should let this season be overlooked. 2012 & 2013 I could forgive because he needed a fair shot to get PAC level recruits & money, we saw what happened when he got that. This year and last he doesn’t have those crutches.

As I said I’ll admit he possibly could turn it around, but I just don’t see it.

This offense is not an anomaly, his offense isn’t going to suddenly change after nearly 20 years. The Huntley & Rising led offenses were the anomaly.

I would ask what do we gain by him staying for another 4-5 years? Based on comments made on multiple threads, the general argument for keeping him seems to be “next coach will be bad, team will take a negative trajectory” paraphrasing but that’s the gist of it.

Using that logic, would it not be better to rip the band aid off now vs push the issue down the road 4-5 years?

I’ll reiterate the point I’ve made on other threads – a negative is not the only outcome of moving on to a new coach, case in point Whitt taking over after Urban Meyer. I’ll also admit that if Whitt stays another 4-5 years, a negative is not the only outcome, but right now all signs seem to be pointing that way.

[UM4G]

I think the flip side to that is that I recall many asking how we would replace Urban Meyer. A negative is not the only possible outcome nor should it scare us into accepting the status quo.

[UM4G]

What I’m taking from this is Whitt is on a PIP.

[UM4G]

Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, and now Jayden Daniels. Also learned this morning that he was the one to recruit Anthony Richardson to Florida, though he wasn’t around long enough to develop him.

[UM4G]

Speaking of Moss – I miss Dennis Erickson simply for his Florida recruiting ties. I know Brian Johnson spent a couple of years at UF, I wouldn’t be opposed to him getting an interview for HC or OC (if he wanted it) once Whitt is gone, assuming he could tap into Florida high schools. His ability to develop QB’s is a huge plus as well.

[UM4G]

Good point, I have been pleasantly surprised by other teams success with the portal, so if it were any other team I’d say yes, but under Whitt no I don’t believe we could get those types of RB’s to come in, which I guess brings us back to square one – if Whitt stays who the hell gets the OC role that we can even remotely be excited about.

Agree about the type of RB, shifty or power, makes no difference to me, my favorite RB of all time was shifty as hell (Walter Payton).
