I think Tony Elliott would be interesting.

The (not) too early coaching search thread
- Thread starter carolina_corpsman
- Start date
The more I think about it, I really don't want someone who is getting their first head coaching gig. As someone on here mentioned a couple of days ago. Give us someone who has head coaching and done more with less as we will probably never top the rankings in recruiting. I would also like to see an offensive guy.
The next hire needs to be as follows First call to Myer, then all others
1- Hugh Freeze
2- Lincoln Riley
3- Tony Elliott
4-Costal head coach
5 Billy Napier
6 FRANK Beamers son
7 call Myer again to make sure that he doesn't want the job .
8 go see Myer make him say no . 9 hire Napier last resort

I'd interview Shane Beamer right after Howard Schnellenberger.
I feel like him and Venebles would just use this opportunity to get a raise and f with us.
With that being said, we should totally do it....those taters are somehow in a budget crunch to the point where they're canceling sports.
Whoever the new coach is should pursue each one of their coaches and analysts just to jack up their spending.
All of 'em because FU Clemson. Let's get diabolical.

I certainly hope Tanner learned his lesson and takes a more performance based approach to the next contact.
We've had three successive coaches who were older and "experienced" with two of them at least hall of famers. It's just time to go with a younger guy with a lot of energy and offensive minded preferably. My short list is Napier, Brady (he's only 31), Chadwell, Fickell, Tom Allen or Fleck. I think the oldest guy on this list is Fickell at 46 or 47. I know their is clamor around Freeze and I would get behind that hire, but something nags at me about Freeze. We'd have a white hot spotlight on the program and not the good kind. He would be watched like a hawk and every move scrutinized. I am not sure our program needs or could withstand that. I'd be happy with any of the six guys I listed. Tom Allen is not leaving IU at this time. He would be an after season hire and I still don't think he would leave IU. They play OSU this Saturday and I think it will be competitive.
Who knows what goes through the head of these coaches and what they may hold out for. Very conceivable USCw, Tenn, Auburn, Michigan - all open up in the next couple years. I even think Brian Kelly may leave Notre Dame on a high note, perhaps not this year, but can see it in the next couple years too. Nick Saban is not getting any younger either.

Hard to say if Freeze learned his lesson or not. If we hire him, we cannot act surprised if he gets us into hot water with the NCAA. I'm not predicting that, just sayin'.
All the more reason to offer a low guaranteed base salary with emphasis on performance based bonuses that have an annulment clause if NCAA violations occur.
We wouldn't have to be total Richards about it as we could build in the potential for the bonuses to add up to a high end or even highest compensation of any SEC coach if the performance thresholds are met while keeping the program clean.
Win enough games first and even the media will give you a pass... See Clemson players testing positive to PED's.
I would think he and the University are well aware of that and would make it quite plain that no shenanigans would be tolerated as well as writing his contract to address any potential issues. I doubt he's cheating at Liberty and look at what he's done with them.
