Rewatched the Ware smitty-to-skyhook…as Ware starts to work Reed, Walker stands up and says something to KW. I’m guessing just encouragement, or maybe that the double’s not coming. Would love to know.

I know it’s tough having to change plans, and high schoolers are not typically the most level-headed decision-makers, but think of the alternative: do you really want to go play for a coach who doesn’t want you? To the extent I had issues with Deion’s approach, it was the calloused dismissal of the guys he inherited, the rumor that CU initially withheld practice tape of redshirt players trying to transfer, etc. The problem was the cruelty, not necessarily saying “you’re not going to play here so we’ll both be better off if you seek other opportunities.”

Thanks, <Shaq “I wasn’t familiar with your game” meme> @ JMU

Would add he’s won at places with no history/business winning, and through a transition…to FBS, not a larger version of their own conference, but still

If that’s the trio then IU really needs to make Candle the guy. I won’t be shocked if Hart is someday a good HC but I’m not sold on that “someday” being now

Okay, leave Frye then, I can live with this

No special knowledge but it kinda feels like it’s gonna be Candle. Let’s see if we can pry Frye — who, among the four mentioned this AM, would be my second choice — to OC and call plays.

You hire for what a coach WILL do, not what he’s done. What he’s done is only part of the calculus of figuring out what he’ll do.

I think this might be the highest ceiling play

Among the “former high-major HCs” I think he’s by far the most appealing.

I think I’d be pleased with Candle but Toledo has a pretty strong history for a MAC school. The question is can he level up or does he Archie Miller in a bigger job?

When was the last time he was a good football coach? Not within the living memory of anyone suiting up.

The pro-Fitz camp should consider that NW isn’t missing him and all they did was hire a guy who was around. Huge no from me for many reasons.

Would love this, reportedly makes $4M/year and has a $4M buyout this offseason. Do it, Scott

Yeah, specifically I think some of the issues Trey and X are exhibiting are based in a lack of trust. They both have limitations but we have long track records displaying their capability.
