This topic is very relevant as things stand now. I could not be more excited to see this process work itself out. I think USD needs to move quickly but make absolutely sure all stones are turned. We are making a huge decision for the future of the football program so lets not rush it faster than it needs to be.
Obviously we can now let the speculation begin on who is going to be considered for this position. I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised.

Yes. We? If you have Saylor's ear then I might do the unthinkable and disown USD.

"We" doesn't mean that I specifically will be making decisions obviously but "we" does mean it will be our coach, not just a few people's coach.
Yoteforever are you just an Ed Meierkort fan or a USD football fan. Right now it appears that you are more of an Ed fan. Ed was not bringing confidence that the Yotes could make the next step up. Ya just can't be 2-15 on the road and expect to be able to save your job. I couldn't produce at such a low rate at work and expect to keep my job either.
This was the right decision for the USD football program. We cannot be affraid to succeed in the future by being strapped to the limitations of the past. We are on a new and exciting journey and I am along for the ride. It's all about moving forward.

Why don't we use this thread to talk about going forward and getting excited about the new possibilites that our on the horizon. Joe Glenn and Glen Caruso seem to be two names that have been thrown out there. He escapes my name but how about the Minnesota Duluth head coach. He has won two national titles from a conference that has been nowhere close to a national title before. He has done some great work up there.
I am really not that familiar with Joe Glenn's style but he won two national title with Northern Colorado before going to Wyoming. Caruso would most likely run a high octane offense and the UMD guy would probably be a run first team with defense being stressed.
Anyone else come to mind that we can talk about.

I am not on board with the UMD coach. Someone with D-I experience seems to be the right choice to me. UMD does not scream D-I at all. Why not the Grand Valley State coach? Oh, not D-1 again.

There will be alot of people calling for Glen Caruso and he is only DIII. I consider Duluth in an area that is not exactly easy to win and they won 2 championships. Like it or not there had to be some darn good coaching going on up there. I am not saying he should be the ONE but it's hard to argue the success. A D1 coordinator with no head coaching experience would also be kind of scrarey because being the head man vs a coordinator doesn't always translate over.

Another issue worth mentioning is the state's ridiculous policy of one-year contracts. That needs to be addressed to the Board of Regents by David Sayler and Jim Abbott. How can USD be expected to have a serious national search for a Division I football coach with one hand tied behind their back?
Time to change that policy, if not just for athletics.

Maybe the coach will end up being someone that almost no one knew about. Contrary to what some want to believe I think USD is in a good position to attract good candidates. Facility upgrades are on the way. USD is done with the transition in football. USD is going into a very desirable league. There are alot of good reasons for a coach to want to come to USD.

The Regents embrace a tenure policy that allows a lot of profs who metaphorically go 2-7 each year to keep their jobs. About time a similar policy is allowed for coaches. What good coach would want to relocate his family to SD without a multiyear guarantee?

The Regents themselves and the Governor need to support this change. When you compare it to academic tenure, and the burdens put the inability to change poor profs because of that, the argument for some coaching security is strong in my opinion. Coaches are teachers, except they get 10,000 people to pay money to the University to watch them teach. They should be treated better.
