I get that. Still smarting from Josh McDaniels.

Unfortunately, I don't think we could get Dana. He's not leaving WVU unless it's a pretty elite job that's going to play him $5M+, I'd guess.
But this is the best season that Dana's had and it's probably not a coincidence. Stars aligning with Spavital and Grier.
How could anyone not like Babers right now?
Spavital would be a lot like Texas Tech hiring Kingsbury IMO. Roller coaster.
That's kind of what I was thinking on the negative side. A lot of similarities there.
If the young OC route is the way to go (and it may be), Chip Long is the clear best choice IMO.
It's been impressive how he has managed the ND offense with 2 completely different QBs starting at times this year. I like that he was RC at ASU from 2012-15. They got a lot of dudes in those classes.

We actually liked him at Cal. Good recruiter too. Just that his air raid system was totally inconsistent with what Wilcox wanted to do on the defensive side, so it was never going to work.
My concern with young position coaches is that they made their mark as a position coach. Now they give up that role and become a HC, where they have no experience. They are not using the skill that made them a rising star. It's like you are hiring someone who has no on the job experience, then wonder why it has not worked out by year three. But, at CU, he will last for 6 years and get a fat buyout!
Yep. I posted about Spavital when I thought getting a Holgorsen was an absolute pipe dream. If we're fishing in those deeper waters, Spavital is a non-starter for me as a candidate.
I found it interesting that we were discussing him here and he ended up at Texas State. I think that does indicate that we can fish is deeper waters.
Texas St seems like it could be a G5 sleeping giant. It has a lot going for it. A good coach should be able to win quickly there.
Wasn't there a poster on here that said the AD is a complete mess that has no clear vision or goals?
Could be. The school itself has great potential. Large student body. Great college town. Within 3 hrs drive from 95% of Texas’s population. No reason that school can’t have a UCF like ceiling if it gets its act together.

AD is a complete dumpster fire. Huge potential, but perennial bed ****ters.

I understand your point and it’s logical but it still doesn’t make sense. There isn’t a job anywhere in the world that someone has done before they have gotten it. Everyone learns on the job, some are just better than others.
