PDX- that is not the quote this came from. Check Ketchum's pinned updates. It says he wants to bring his entire staff.

Ketch's update about Hurdt. He quotes the source.

How would everyone feel if he just brought over his Louisville coaches instead of going out and getting the best he could? Ketch has him saying as much.

This should get interesting.

El Mahico is saying it is Strong from all of his folks

Whisenant-don't get me wrong, I think the game has passed Mack by. Also, like many others, I have always been frustrated with the development of our players and the energy they played with consistently. However, are we really sure we have seen enough of Strong to make him the guy? He has...

I would of thought we could go out and hire someone much more qualified than Mack was when he was picked. Does his resume look as strong as the other candidates or even Mack's in 1997? Strong has only been a head coach for a few years vs. Mack at the time of his hire. He has coached in a much...

Thanks Darrell. One thing I want to clarify (if possible). If Saban takes the job, we should know by this weekend, right? I would assume if it is anybody else we would probably know by the 10th or 15th?

45- looks like a very mature group...in a good way!

There is no Santa Claus! I knew it...Bastard. :)

RB coach- Ricky Williams Just have a feeling something is up with this.

I trust McPhaul on who is in contention. Therefore, this is what I have: Grand Slam Jim Harbaugh Nick Saban Home Run John Harbaugh Malzahn Fisher Gruden Briles Next Level Mora Franklin

I think Saban is still an option too. Did anyone hear Ricky Williams interviewed on ESPN Saturday after Mack announced his resignation? They asked him who he thought would be a good replacement coach and he said he couldn't answer the question because he is a coach and didn't want to hurt his...

This is open for discussion of course but how about this for "home run": Gus Malzahn Jimbo Fisher John Gruden Art Briles John Harbaugh I put those in the grand slam list because they are all proven winners at the college level. The home run list has at least a question mark, but obviously...

How is this for a "grand slam " list: Jim Harbaugh Nick Saban Pete Carroll Chip Kelly Urban Meyer

Please...not Miles. LSU fans I know would thank us.

Austin would burn Ohio State style. No way?

Are you hearing anything regarding our NEXT coach Shaunsters? Thanks for your info!

Mack said last night that there was a meeting to go over the bowl game. Not new from the meeting standpoint but hopefully additional news comes out of it.

Good stuff! Thanks McPhaul.
