. I did not vote for Wes but these are crap comments directed at a guy who is a Coyote through and through Nothing personal here at all. But the popular opinion, on this board at least, is that Wesley should not be the next head coach. No need to get so defensive. i don't think he should be the next coach either. Read my comment I just don't think it's classy to kick a guy when he's walking out the door

After that lackluster performance it's probably time to fire the entire coaching staff isn't it CF Your about 2 weeks too late bud. Where have you been. There has been 3 games since this game. Did you just wake up out of your hole today. Stick to football. sorry I don't wake up everyday to check a chat board because I'm a pencil neck geek that wished I was an athlete

At this point I guess we have to trust the powers that be and get behind who ever is hired

USD is conducting what many of you would call a national search. I've never understood the phrase myself because I highly doubt we are looking from Maine to California. I would think it is more of a regional search. Much debate will go on debating the merits of hiring an existing head coach, likely at a level below FCS. That could be D2 or D3. For easy referencing, Todd Hoffner or Glen Caruso. I only say them because of Coyote ties, not an endorsement in any manner. Or do you hire a coach that is a coordinator at an FBS or FCS school that has shown a good deal of success? I found it interesting Lou Holtz talked about this subject earlier this week on XM radio, and he said that if you want to be more assured of your hire, you want to hire a coach that's been a head coach. He said, and cited himself as an example years ago, it's really tough to go from being a coach "making suggestions" to one "making decisions". I thought about that a lot, and it makes sense to me for us to hire an existing head coach. Do I think Coach Stugart will be in the discussion, yes I do. Would he be considered a leading candidate? Not yet. I have heard he's a helluva guy, so I wouldn't rule him out at all. But this search will be detailed and broad. There is indeed a lot of interest and I'm grateful for that. Lastly, I want to address Wesley. This young man deserves an interview. Many of us have been frustrated at times with his play calling, myself included. But what we don't know is what our capabilities are by position. I think Ryan Saeger is a fine young man, but he isn't a threat with his arm on a consistent basis. Play calling might very well be designed around the abilities of your skilled players. Wes is a fine young man...period. Do I think he'll get it? No. Do I think he deserves an interview? Yes I do. One thing we should never do is turn on one of our own, especially with a resume like Wes. He might very well be one hell of a head coach. He no,longer would be OC. I wouldn't underestimate his abilities. However, all that being said, it would be a difficult sell to the fans. Unlikely he will get it, but I wish for him nothing but the absolute best. . I agree with your comments on Wes

dosnt surprise me at all that you would mention Hoffner. He has no integrity and would take us back to the days of Mierkort. And I'm not referring to the child porn allegations Hell maybe he would recruit some guys that would get another IRS scam going. Shows how little you know that you would even mention his name I totally disagree with your short sighted assessment of Hoffner's character. While no coaching recruit is going to be the "perfect" match that Joe was, it's Dave Herbster's job to find balance with all of the applicants and ultimately hire the best overall candidate for the position. I think Hoffner has done a fantastic job with the Mavericks and even though I have no idea if he has any interest in the position at USD, I certainly think he would be worth giving serious consideration to. I guess you might feel different if the guy flat out mislead you and flat out lied to you and you witnessed the other bridges he had burned in the coaching community for the same reasons. But then it dosnt matter because the people who will make the decision do know

I have come to the conclusion that cf is like the drunk guy in the room that just keeps babbling and the polite people nod their heads and try to ignore him

I've found it very interesting reading everyone's take on Joe's replacement and the potential outcome for all of the assistants. I think in many ways, hiring a D1 football head coach has got to be more difficult than hiring almost anyone else on campus due to the interweaving of other staff members, supporters, players (both current and future), and even conference opponents. I'm going to throw a somewhat controversial name into the discussion and see where it goes: Todd Hoffner at Mankato. The guy knows how to recruit, maximize the talent that he has, knows how to win consistently, and despite the media attention that he got a few years back, still remained committed to his own team. The fact that he was the OC at USD for a year also gives him at least a little bit of an idea of what to expect in Vermillion doesn't hurt either. Honestly Todd Hoffner is not at all a controversial name in my book. He hasn't done anything to bring controversy to himself. Others may have brought up controversy associated with his name but he didn't bring that on himself. Hoffner has done a solid job at Minnesota State. For whatever the reason his name just doesn't spark a level of excitement in me but he has done a good job with the Mavericks. dosnt surprise me at all that you would mention Hoffner. He has no integrity and would take us back to the days of Mierkort. And I'm not referring to the child porn allegations Hell maybe he would recruit some guys that would get another IRS scam going. Shows how little you know that you would even mention his name

. You clearly don't know him. I do. He is not a great guy behind the sceans and is nothing like Glenn when it comes to being a good guy Not that it matters, but I do know Coach Rhoads very well. And he is a good guy. He's not like Joe Glenn personality wise, but very few people are. The fact I know him is irrelevant. That fact and $5 gets you a happy meal at McDonalds. All coaches get fired. Gene Chizek left Iowa State, won a national title at Auburn, then was fired from there. Sat out 2 years, became the D coordinator at North Carolina and now once again is on a lot of AD's short list. What's really important is that the coach fits in the new school. we'll just have to disagree. I know the guy that is not loyal to his coaches and throws people under the bus in an attempt to save his own a$$ and the coach that was still making excuses in his press conference even this week. To go into more detail would reveal who I am and I'm not going to do that. It's a mute point anyway because he will not be the next USD coach

Here's something to think about... Earl Bruce took the job at UNI in 1987 right after being fired at Ohio State. It lasted two years and UNI wasn't very good under him despite the fact they were a playoff team under the coaches before and after him

Cousin Eddie, you ask about Paul Rhoads and right away someone chimes in he wasn't worth a crap at Iowa State. This is what's going to happen when you speculate, but I will tell you in all candor if you could hire him, it would set The Valley on its ears. Not fully knowing what his contract says with Iowa State, it's not beyond comprehension he would come. Here's why. His buyout at ISU I understand to be $4.5 million. Most times in these cases, if they take another job, they simply subtract what the new schools pay is from what the buyout is. Therefore, this is one case where we could get a big time coach for a period of time and not worry about coming up with huge dollars OR one year contracts. Paul's background is he was a D coordinator at Pitt and Auburn amongst other coaching stops along the way. He is a great guy, fantastic motivator, and quite honestly is a USD type of guy. He's from Ankenny, so he knows the midwest. His past experiences gives him a knowledge of recruiting regions unlike Stugart or Deboer or names like that. I'm not picking on those guys, or discounting them, but now we can't afford to make a mistake. And why no hire is a guaranty, you need to minimize the chances. I'm not for a D2 coach or Arena coach, I want experience at this level or higher. Quite frankly, I want someone with national recruiting knowledge, not just regional. . You clearly don't know him. I do. He is not a great guy behind the sceans and is nothing like Glenn when it comes to being a good guy

I'm not going to call posters like cf an idiot but You are if you think simply changing head coaches is the best way to win more games. There are many other moving parts that makes winning in Vermillion difficult. But seriously what difference does your oppinion make cf. Its not like Herbster is going to make his decisions based on some Debby Downer on a chat board

Joe will be the MFHC next year and he should be. We would go backwards if there was a change
