How is this for a "grand slam " list:Jim Harbaugh

Nick Saban

Pete Carroll

Chip Kelly

Urban Meyer

Good list

 

[Bonefish]

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 proven winners.

 

[orangeflow]

Until another Coach is announced I still believe Saban is in play.

 

[Bonefish]

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 chances of becoming a position coach. I just found it to be an interesting answer at the time since there were rumors Saban might have contacted him.

In that order?

Jim Mora and Art Briles, to me are not grand slams

Nick Saban

Jon Gruden

Jimbo Fisher

Gus Malzahn

Art Briles

Jim Mora Jr.

This list, in that order!

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

In that order?

NO

 

[ATX89]

Gruden is not a grand slam and hasn't been a hc in college nor won anything in college

 

[UTK66]

Harbaugh

Harbaugh

Fisher

Hopefully, we don't have to go any farther than that.

 

[Bonefish]

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

 

[Firehorn]

Do not want Mora

 

[TheContractor]

What is a grand slam?

I dont consider many coaches a grand slam. Certainly not Gruden, who i consider a single. A coach who hasn't coached college AND hasnt coached in 6 years is not all that.

 

[No Mas]

Briles is no grand slam

 

[Jhablinski]

Briles has proven more than malzahn

He has built 2 programs that are historically terrible from scratch

Malzahn made a run with one of the greatest college qbs of this era

And is now making a run with someone else's players

Hard to argue with that. I think everyone needs to separate the "Hot" coaching hire from the "Consistently Good" coaching hire. You can't put too much stock into 1 season because there are so many other factors to consider. That's not to say Malzahn wouldn't be great here. He's show a track record of winning. It's more about looking at a whole body of work and the situation the coach was/is in.
