You telling me you can't get behind mantras like OSKEE and WINT?
How’s it worked out for Iowa?
Now lets get Leipold out of Kansas for next season

I’m totally happy with Bret, but how close was Leipold to being the answer here?
Runner up …
Really thought Baylor would go after him if they wound up hiring a new coach …
Maybe so, but isn't it his responsibility to make sure that the players on the back end of the kick-off return squad try to at least impede the progress of the guys trying to annihilate the kick returner? Take a look at the Wilcher fumble again. The Northwestern player came in like a rocket and was untouched before he crashed into Wilcher. Yeah, I know it's Wilcher's job to hang onto the ball, but the blocking on that play (by the 3 guys supposedly giving Wilcher a fighting chance to launch a return) was pathetic.
Iowa has an elite defensive staff
I could be wrong but I remember a lot of penalties on kick off returns. I know Wilcher had a td called back.
I was asking about their effort to develop an OC by “learning on the job” Rather than hiring an experienced OC.
3 straight coaches have hired an unqualified coordinator because of a prior relationship. Now I'm not saying Bret's choice was anywhere near as bad as Cubit or Lovie but hiring friends who under perform, and then you don't fire them because you've known then since they were 17 isn't a good look if they continue to produce poor results.

1. Baylor is tricky to gauge from the outside (they do quite a few wealthy boosters) though their AD Mack Rhodes has a good rep.
2. With all the Texas jobs (and AR, OK, and maybe LA), Jeff Traylor is always a name to watch. He has all of the UIL connections. Heck I would like him as a Bielema back up plan if (big if) he can develop good relationships with IHSA coaches.
That’s exactly the problem with hiring friends and family for any job in any organization. How do you fire them if they don’t perform?

Ask Iowa ... LOL
Terry Bowden out at Louisiana-Monroe per ESPN.
Traylor isn’t leaving the south.
This guy was on several people’s wish list during one of our head HC hiring cycles (Zook)?

Candle is their top target. With Chryst, Fitzgerald and Chuck Martin being discussed as well.

Some fans are seriously trotting out John Gruden as a candidate.
Candle would be a good hire for them, but if he ends up being another good HC how did we really get the only bad one...
