Which B12 Football team made the best new HC hire for 2019 season?

[cc1091]

I know that all of these hires are potentially very good for each of their teams. I'm just wondering if any hire stands out for a majority of CF visitors. Perhaps in your comments, you can elaborate and also define who may be the 'worst' hire of the bunch.

I can't recall, does Miles have any reputation for questionable recruiting tactics?

 

[Cdiedrick]

I think they are all good hires. I believe that Neal Brown is the best. Reminds me of Campbell, conference, experience, age, philosophy. WVU might have a “down year” but that’s all I see with that hire. Miles might be the worst but only because it’s hard to polish a turd and we know who KU has hired previously and how it worked out.

To be clear, is it Miles or Kansas playing the role of the turd in your quote? (LOL)

Anyone want to take a crack at which of these coaches will have the most difficulty recruiting? Which the most success?

From my perspective,
I'm anticipating that both Klieman and Miles will find recruiting more difficult than at their previous jobs. Brown will also find it more difficult to recruit to WV than it was to sunny Troy, but he will still be getting about the same quality of players as Holgerson got at WV. Wells at TxTech may find it easier to get a higher quality athlete that what he is used to.

Be shocked if he didn't

He coached in the SEC for years

I voted for Wells but I think Klieman was a really good hire as well. I think Miles will give Kansas 2 or 3 years at most before he realizes how awful that job is and retires.

ISU and Matt Campbell...its multi year awesome

Wells went 3-23 against teams with a winning record at Utah State it looks like. He might be a good hire, but that is a bit alarming.

WVU, for sure. Brown is a winner and good scheme/personnel fit there already. Bit of a rebuilding year ahead of him next season, though.

 

[SerenityNow]

I think they all made decent hires, but I like WVUs the best.

 

[Aclone]

I see that Luke Wells made the move to Lubbock with his brother.

 

[Urbandale2013]

None great none bad.

 

[LindenCy]

KSU by a mile.

 

[CloneFan4]

I can't take a coaching hire seriously when he names Messingham as his OC.

Neal Brown

Neal Brown

Wow, I think I forgot that or missed it. Or forgot I missed it.

 

[CloneFan4]

Wow, I think I forgot that or missed it. Or forgot I missed it.

I was just as shocked. Would have went with Klieman, too had he not made that head scratching move.

Knowing this guy is calling plays at KSU brings me so much joy

 

[Al_4_State]

Kleiman>Brown>Wells

All seem like solid hires, honestly.
