What head coaches that you like for next season

When Litterll was a head coach, Litterll went 44-44 went bowling 6 of the 8 seasons with North Texas from 2016-2022.
He has been the OC for Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.

Are you saying we should hire Ludwig? Really?

We should have him on a list for coaches to consider for OC.

Coaches that are being fired that could bring in transfer portal players, recruiting, and overall upgrade the coaching staff. We need a whole new coaching staff.

SLB · Post by **SLB** » October 20th, 2024, 8:40 pm

The Aggies need to start lining up those interviews because all the losing schools are now firing all the coaches that they want to fire.

Why would you look at Ludwigs offense and say to yourself, "I want me some of that!"

Can't overlook the transfer portal, recruiting, and already available side to it which is why he should be considered
Royals, Petras, Faison, White, and etc. are playing their final year.
There is a possibility that we could get Ludwig as some assistant offensive coach with Brad Kragthorpe being OC

So with the off-chance one of them shows up at USU, he can claim he was the first to mention them.

The head coach will bring his own guys. Picking assistants right now is senseless

To be fair, the players I knew on the team at that time thought he sucked too... and after the SUU game. It was probably fair criticism.

He did suck. He's one of those guys whose career trajectory goes up and up and up while being completely mediocre. Obviously he has what it takes to be a good HC, but he was pretty solidly mediocre at everything leading up to it.

The reverse Peter Principle. You keep moving up until you find yourself in a job you are actually good at.

It would be insane for OSU to fire Ryan Day, but they may if OSU doesn't beat Michigan. Or maybe my guy Cignetti can knock them out of the CFP hunt and they move on from Day. Frost is a far more obtainable than those 2. But he was a disaster at Nebraska.

Our list should consist primarily of good G5 head coaches and good P5 coordinators.

It just tells everyone that being HC is very different from being OC.
The Aggies running out of town because of the bubble screens probably helped him to become a better play caller.
I joked about the 2023 team being the perfect bubble screen team.

I can't thumbs up this enough times! The dude just keep falling upwards.....it's insane to me. I don't know if he just keeps finding himself in situations where there are other good coaches already in place or players that are committed to the program or what but I swear it has almost nothing to do with him.

His time in Logan was largely sitting around and collecting a paycheck (maybe partially paid by OU after getting canned?). I've read articles where Josh says his time at Utah State was some of his most enjoyable and was really the place that rebooted his career. He is still close to Matt Wells to this day.

I’ll be honest was in high school that season and was not near as much of a diehard as I am now. So I didn’t even know he coached for us until one of my friends who’s a Vols fan told me haha

Apparently we offered him a spot as QB when he was playing at Weber too

We did. He played for Dave Arslanian at Weber. After Arslanian took the USU job, Heupel transferred to Snow and was committed to follow Arslanian to USU. But then he had such a good season at Snow that Bob Stoops offered him a spot at Oklahoma.

An under the radar coaching move, whoever is the next head coach should consider the former Rice head coach as OL coach.
He coached OL for Stanford 2011-2017, and he was an offensive assistant coach for the New York Jets (Jets went to the AFC championship game twice when he was there) before that.

The answer is yes because the assistant coaches that he did well with are mostly available. Wells would have more resources with us going to the PAC. Wells unlike GA was our winning coach from 2013 to 2018 (6 seasons) then unsuccessful run at Texas Tech then has been an assistant coach in the Big 12 since then.
I do believe that we have basically an unlimited selection of coaches to pick from since we are going to the PAC.

Matt Wells is also now an active and practicing Sikh which bodes well. You know what they say about foreign travel:

I don't think GA 2.0 should be used as the example for how a Wells 2.0 would go. GA was not and had not been in the frame of mind to be a head coach for quite some time before we hired him back. Anyone who watched his presser after being hired had to know we had made a grave mistake. He had no fire, no passion, and didn't even appear all that engaged.

Of course there's no guarantee that Wells couldn't have some of these same issues but I think the chances are pretty low considering he doesn't carry the personal baggage that GA did and he is also all about being an Aggie. It means a bit more to him.

That being said, I can't see a world where DS and Wells exist in the same space. The DOJ is at USU mainly for the events that happened during Wells time (not that he had knowledge of it). There is no way DS holds up this banner of "doing the right thing" under the DOJ shield and then brings back the coach that was here during the actual incidents that are at the core of the DoJs very presence on campus.

She's looking to make a hire that gets her one step closer to leaving Logan. That is not Wells and I doubt that is Jay Hill either.
