Re: List your top 5 candidates
I like this list, but I have questions about Chris Peterson. Is he even interested in head coaching anymore, let alone coach at USU? UW seems to have blown out the fire he had when at Boise. If we could get Boise Chris Peterson then sign him up! If its UW Chris Peterson then I'm not so sure.JFW_AGGIES wrote: ↑November 24th, 2020, 10:55 amI'll take Chris Peterson, Billy Napier, Brian Johnson, Lance Anderson, Dan Enos

Yeah, I bet you would take Chris Peterson. We all would. But he’s gonna quit Washington and coach Utah State? That seems like a huge stretch.JFW_AGGIES wrote:I'll take Chris Peterson, Billy Napier, Brian Johnson, Lance Anderson, Dan Enos

Re: List your top 5 candidates
Insights to keep in mind: JH mentioned at the news conference, twice, the CEO aspect and then went on to list the characteristics that is included in that title. He, interestingly, brought up BYU....twice. He also emphasized the need for an offensive perspective that the new coach would need to bring. Put those together and who do you have? Heck if I know. Here's my stab at five from which the new coach will come:
1. Someone who hasn't been mentioned
2. Lance Anderson
3. Jeff Grimes
4. Butch Jones
5. Choate

For some reason I thought Chris Petersen was a scientologist, but he's not. But I digress, no way in hell he comes here.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
Chris Petersen is as much of a fantasy as Urban Meyer. Both of them will get to pick their spot when they decide to get back into coaching. Billy Napier likely gets a P5 job. No on Dan Enos. He was not a good coach at Central Michigan and wasn't great as an offensive coordinator at Arkansas or Miami where he was fired after a losing season. Yes Cincinnati is obviously having a great year this year, but I see it more of him latching onto the momentum. Cincy won 11 games each of the past two seasons before he got there. I don't think this year they wouldn't be as good if they didn't hire Dan Enos.
Brian Johnson or Lance Anderson would be good. I'd be excited to see either of them in Logan next year.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
When CP left WA he commented that he wanted to get into mgt consulting of some sort, but he wasn't going to return to coaching. I realize that could change.2004AG wrote: ↑November 24th, 2020, 11:10 amJFW_AGGIES wrote:I'll take Chris Peterson, Billy Napier, Brian Johnson, Lance Anderson, Dan EnosYeah, I bet you would take Chris Peterson.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
Chris Peterson is not going to come here but just to be clear he never ever said he would not coach again. In fact he made sure he left that door open.AngusAg wrote: ↑November 24th, 2020, 11:52 amWhen CP left WA he commented that he wanted to get into mgt consulting of some sort, but he wasn't going to return to coaching.

https://www.nbcsports.com/northwest/was ... right-away
At his press conference today, Petersen discussed if he’s done coaching when asked.
"I’m not falling into that trick question...my whole plan is to get rested, to get recharged, and get redirected. Like the one thing I know is that I’m not ready to do nothing. I just gotta figure out where all this energy and this passion and inspiration goes. I don’t want it to be on the football field."

Re: List your top 5 candidates
I like Lance a lot but he is a defense guy and if Hartwell truly wants a offensive mind, Lance may not be the guy. Choate is also a defensive coach. Grimes and Butch Jones are offensive though.AngusAg wrote:Insights to keep in mind: JH mentioned at the news conference, twice, the CEO aspect and then went on to list the characteristics that is included in that title.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
You're right, but JH qualified his criteria by saying if they go with a defensive guy, he needs to show a clear path ahead for a dynamic offense.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
I am no authority on coaches for sure....just experienced a few of the names noted during Broc's recruitment in 2018/19.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑November 24th, 2020, 10:53 pm1.. Andy Avalos (DC-Oregon)

5. Graham Harrell (OC-USC) (we're too cheap)
Broc was super big on FCB programs but did consider three FCS teams: Weber St., JMU, and MSU. They each had staff and facilities very comparable to a lot of FBS teams for sure and each our winning programs! Cignetti at JMU was very helpful and confident about their program. Choate was energetic and motivating but definitely delegated a lot to his staff, and Hill was quite amazing actually..I know he does not have as many FBS contacts but he was impressive and commanding in his delivery and direction for his staff and program.
Also Zak Hill when he recruited Broc while at BSU and then again when he visited from ASU...Nice guy but not as charismatic as GA and Frank were on their visits...Also Harrell from USC was on again and off again...but very smart guy! I think I heard mentioned as hopefuls: Chadwell from CCU and Anderson from Arkansas St.; both coaches offered Broc and have newly amended and amazing facilities....I would say next to USU; Broc really liked Chadwell (some southern charm for sure!)
I hope that wasn't TMI but those are just personal notes from some names I have read mentioned here is all.
I do hope the boys take it to the Lobos tomorrow evening; a W would be special for what they've all had to contend with...(On a side note: they have been using Broc this week in practice on Defense also...He played a little OLB/DE his senior year; so who knows...He's 6'4+ so maybe that can help them some!) Anyways thanks for the support and listening.
Broc remains positive through all this..If you want to see his HUDL film from last year; I have a link here...It shows his TE and OLB play...See ya'll and go Aggies....

Still my top 5....unless Chris Petersen is willing to take the job and wants to help us knock the BSU program down a notch in the pecking order after he helped build that program.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
Why are you guys excited about yost? He has been the worst offensive coordinator I've ever seen. From what im hearing wells may be available sooner than later. You can probably have them both, and feel free to take colombi with them.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
You haven't experienced him like we did. Look up USU's 2018 numbers.
Of course, our first round draftee QB operated behind a nearly all senior OL.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

McElwain wasn’t fired for being losing a few football games. McElwain went into my head and right back out.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
Yep we averaged 47 points a game the last season we had Yost. We scored more points against Michigan State than anyone else on their schedule including Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State. Yost wouldn't be my first choice, but you provide USU with one of the best offenses in the nation and you deserve to at least have your name mentioned.

McElwain won conference coach of the year in 3 different FBS conferences (MWC, SEC, MAC) within a 5 year period. That’s pretty impressive. We’d be dumb not to consider him if he expressed interest.

Choate was energetic and motivating but definitely delegated a lot to his staff, and Hill was quite amazing actually..I know he does not have as many FBS contacts but he was impressive and commanding in his delivery and direction for his staff and program.
Also Zak Hill when he recruited Broc while at BSU and then again when he visited from ASU...Nice guy but not as charismatic as GA and Frank were on their visits...Also Harrell from USC was on again and off again...but very smart guy! I think I heard mentioned as hopefuls: Chadwell from CCU and Anderson from Arkansas St.; both coaches offered Broc and have newly amended and amazing facilities....I would say next to USU; Broc really liked Chadwell (some southern charm for sure!)
I hope that wasn't TMI but those are just personal notes from some names I have read mentioned here is all.
I do hope the boys take it to the Lobos tomorrow evening; a W would be special for what they've all had to contend with...(On a side note: they have been using Broc this week in practice on Defense also...He played a little OLB/DE his senior year; so who knows...He's 6'4+ so maybe that can help them some!) Anyways thanks for the support and listening.
Broc remains positive through all this..If you want to see his HUDL film from last year; I have a link here...It shows his TE and OLB play...See ya'll and go Aggies....
I would prefer a proven head coach so here is my top 5 of realistic coaches in no particular order
Jim McElwain
Lance Leipold
Jamey Chadwell
Jay Hill
Jeff Choate
I agree mcelwain is an excellent coach. I just don’t think we can afford fake death threat drama with the current state of our program.

I do not question his qualifications.AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 9:56 pmMcElwain won conference coach of the year in 3 different FBS conferences (MWC, SEC, MAC) within a 5 year period. That’s pretty impressive. We’d be dumb not to consider him if he expressed interest.
I question his integrity and his fit given where our program currently is.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
1. Jay Hill
2. Graham Harrell
3. Sean Lewis
4. Nick Howell
5. Frank Maile
Honorable Mention: Jeff Choate, Lance Anderson, random successful MAC/Sun Belt head coach that I am not presently aware of, CHICO.
Honestly, I would be pretty happy with most of the options discussed. A McElwain or Helfrich hire would be disappointing and worrisome though.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
And overall 2014 was a decent coaching job by Gary. I agree with you about the fake death threats. That was a bad look.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 9:59 pmAnd Gary took Wisconsin to the big 10 CCG.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 9:37 pmCracked all the way to the SEC Championship game back to back years. There would be many worse choices than Jim McElwain. He shouldn't lie about death threats though.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 9:35 pmMcElwain wasn’t fired for being losing a few football games. McElwain went into my head and right back out. He’s another mid season fire with questionable character issues who cracked under pressure.AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 1:01 pmGreat info.

I think that has more to do with love than it does yost. Look at what he has done at Texas Tech...Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 9:36 pmYep we averaged 47 points a game the last season we had Yost. We scored more points against Michigan State than anyone else on their schedule including Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State. Yost wouldn't be my first choice, but you provide USU with one of the best offenses in the nation and you deserve to at least have your name mentioned.

Re: List your top 5 candidates
Because for some reason people on this board hate to admit that Matt Wells was a great coach for us, so they give all the credit to Yost. Don’t get me wrong, they were both great and obviously worked well together, but it seems like people almost use him as a way to avoid giving Wells credit.2004AG wrote:Yost is deity around here.FireWells wrote:I think that has more to do with love than it does yost.
