A Sea Of Red

I'm not too sold on one hit wonders like frost or jamey chadwell, who knows if they can have sustainable success or not, but I realize you need to take a chance sometimes. I'm intrigued by a Gene Chizik or Tom Allen but maybe they are probably long shots to wanting it. I kinda like a big name in a small G5 sea for recruiting purposes

Who will be interim coach

My bet is either Maurice Harris or Kent Austin.

Is there anyone on staff currently that has the chops to be hired/promoted into the HC spot? Cignetti at JMU is on the older side (61). Streeter has good credentials and ties to LU, but he's never been a HC. I've seen Chizik's name mentioned, but just wonder if he really wants to climb the ladder, or is he waiting for Mack Brown (currently 71) to retire and get the UNC job?

New coach wil be a former P5 Head Coach or current P5 head coach.

You've already been wrong once today.

This will be interesting. Good thing is Auburn is not in a bowl game. If HF pulls all of his staff with him, they won’t need to go right away.

Am I crazy to think David Shaw is a possibility?

After Turner Gill was not renewed, does anybody remember when Ballcoach predicted Dabo would be LU's next head coach?

like him a lot, but burnt out. Needs a year off, I think.

I’m not sold on Frost, either.

Chadwell is not a one-hit wonder.

via ASOR

The transfer portal opens Dec. 5, allowing FBS players to officially enter the portal at that time, and the early signing period begins Dec. 21. McCaw and Liberty will hope to have a new head coach in place in approximately one week.

We've seen the positive aspects of the portal under Freeze -- hopefully we don't have to learn too much about the negative over the next couple weeks. We won't have to wait long to find out what we're losing, but I hope we name an interim immediately and can wrap up the search quickly. With Hugh's name coming up for vacancies every year, it's hard to imagine that ADIM doesn't have a somewhat short list already formed.

The short list ramped up with the extension. I think that was when Ian knew Freeze’s intention to leave

Phone calls were probably made to gauge interest right when Auburn fired their coach, Ian had to know that was a school of interest to freeze. Ian couldn't have been blindsided

Jon, Chad, and Kyle are giving some great insight on an impromptu podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWAUr85c-oo

He's done well at coastal, Delta and those other tiny programs are glorified high school football and hardly count for anything

I don’t think it will be Cignetti. I’m a no on Streeter as HC. Patterson is interesting but don’t know much about him personally. I am in agreement that our next coach could/should have some P5 experience. Why would we not go for that again? Mike London- Please no. He was awful at UVa. Tom Allen-hard to get excited about him. Would Gus Malzahn leave UCF for LU? That would be interesting. Deion- He would bring in the talent but is he a fit at LU?

Love the way gets out in front of it.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Again.

You’re like a good ol’ Baptist preacher: not always right, but never in doubt.

I’m not pushing for Jamie. Thing is, I’m not sure LU could convince him to come; he’s on P5 short lists right now.

I think coaching at delta should put you in line to be the next Head coach at Alabama. From one national powerhouse to the next!

There you go again, running from one extreme to the other. Seriously, dude, the emotional crash is gonna get ya. Relax.

I go to extremes to show you the ridiculousness of the things you say like coaching at Delta is a feather in your cap. And I go to extremes because you and purple Haze are like "I've coached division 1 blah blah blah" "elite level blah blah blah" if you haven't coached at the power 5 level you've hardly coached division 1, it's like owning 5 hardware stores and thinking you are Home Depot or thinking a minor league baseball player is a "professional athlete"

I'm beginning to think Ballcoach has an a burner account and paid someone 40 bucks at Fiverr to write content.

You said he was a one-hit wonder. I simply proved he’s not.

Don’t disrespect what you’ve never done.

For kicks, let’s play a game. What do you think is hardest to do: Win at North Greenville, a small CHRISTIAN university? Win at Charleston Southern, another small, CHRISTIAN university? Win at Delta? Or win at Coastal Carolina?

Trick question: the hardest thing is to do ALL of them in the same career. And that’s what Chadwell has done.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fromt ... -brent-key

“Chadwell has been a head coach for almost all of the last 13 years in the southeast. He’s compiled a 22- 14 record in three years at D-II North Greenville, a 35-14 record in four years at FCS Charleston Southern, and a 39-20 record (so far) in his last four years as full-time head coach at Coastal Carolina.

“Chadwell has won everywhere he’s been for any meaningful amount of time, even when you consider the tough first year his programs have had to endure. The level of consistent success that he’s built over the last three years in a very competitive Sun Belt is not something to be ignored – the Chanticleers are 31-4 (20-3), set to play for their second Sun Belt Championship, and on pace for their second ranked finish during that span. Chadwell also won multiple National Coach of the Year awards after the Chanticleers’ 2020 season.

“While it’s fair to think that winning at the G5 level doesn’t necessarily mean it will translate to winning in the ACC, winning consistently across different levels of football does seem to be something that translates to the Power-5 – just look at what Lance Leipold (who won 6 – yes, SIX – Division III National Championships at Wisconsin-Whitewater) has been able to accomplish in six years at Buffalo and in only two years at a previously hapless Kansas program.”

@Tnobes Chadwell is a man of faith. And he might not be LU’s next coach. LU might not be able to get him at this point. He’s on P5 short lists. I’m not pushing him. But you’re dead-wrong calling him a one-hit wonder.
