Stanford, K-State, and Iowa are who we need to be modeling the program after. Don't care who, just find someone who can do it.

Yeah as exciting as a good spread offense can be to watch I tend to agree with this.
Now that being said if a Frost or Kendal Briles type say they want the job I think it would be hard to pass on them.
I think this is the best fit for the players we currently have. Not saying the team couldn't transition to something else, but you are recruiting kids currently running pro sets and spreads all over the country. Running a similar system makes them easier to assess and recruit than trying to project them into a wishbone, and then coach them starting from square one.
Recruiting Iowa is a big deal, Chizik never believed it was important, but about a quarter of the roster will be Iowa kids, more than likely. That takes dedication and time, and not every coach will want to do that, especially a coach making a quick stepping stone move.
I agree, which is why I'm a little surprised at not seeing Mike Bloomgren's name even get mentioned at all. Current Stanford OC. I think he could be a decent Plan E or F if some other things fall through and we end up scrambling a bit.
This makes me laugh. You think Stanford thought "yeah, to win we need to be a power running team," and then hired Harbaugh to fit that criteria? Please. Same with K-State and Iowa.
Pollard needs to find a coach he thinks can win, and then that coach brings whatever style of offense with him...
This thread is sort of mistitled.
Shouldn't it be "Here's my pick for our next HC! He's so awesome, etc.."?
It's not really rumor oriented at all.

The more and more I think about this, the more that I think Steve Loney is the guy we need to go after. Especially since CW thinks it's his "dream job". I didn't think he'd be interested.
This guy built tremendous OL's at ISU that paved the way for the Davis brothers and now he's coaching the Dallas OL, which is one of the best, if not the best OL's in the NFL.
I think he could come in and recruit really good tough kids from Iowa to play OL, and we could become a road grader type offense that most of us want. Look at Iowa... KF is an OL guy and has always built Iowa teams from the OL and DL out. I think Loney could be the same way.

Who called the running play for Warren with 1:20 left? And if he didn't he should have objected vehemently.

Genius!
Have you emailed Pollard yet and let him know what he should be looking for? Armed with that, he should easily be able to beat out the other 11 programs, that are better destinations, with job openings.
My concerns with him is that he's been out of the college game for a while. What connections does he have to current college coaches to go after for his staff? I'm going to guess that he is at least 60 too.
But that's the first name that has 'moved up the list'. Just saying that a position coach is likely where we end up at the end of this.
But as far as position coaches go, I think Alford would be great. He probably will want at least $3 million to take the job, but we all know if you throw a **** ton of money at the job you'll get a good coach.
