Sorry, I'm not on the JG bandwagon just yet. This comes even though he was a classmate of mine.
Ah, Julian Hall in 1966! It was called "the Animal House" back then....maybe still now. Many memories but I digress.
Nothing against Joe but a couple of orange flags are that he's "been there, done that" so to speak and he's also evidently not coaching right now. I've hired many folks and always want to know a bit more about people who are retired and looking, or similar. In short, he's just the type of coach I would have looked at very closely 20 years ago. Nowadays I'm just not that sure.
I'm certainly not wanting to pass myself as some sort of expert. I really don't know the guy but I urge - and know - a thorough search will be conducted. As you can tell, I still lean toward someone who has a chip on their shoulder.

coyote70, fair assessment above
There are definately some concerns with him mostly age and the fact that he hasn't coached in awhile and hasn't won for even longer. I worry to a point that the game may have slightly gotten ahead of him as of late but we will have to see or maybe not if he is not the one.
I have been of the opinion all along that USD should hire the best candidate period. Not the best candidate with Coyote ties, or not necessarily the candidate that most fires up the Coyote fan base. Not necessarily the best of Sayler's guys but simply the best football coach that USD can possibly get for as much money as USD can afford. Sayler, Herbter etc need to put aside all biases and simply make the best pick. I hate it that we may not know the list of who was considered. It makes it difficult to determine if the best coach was selected when we are in the future and looking back at the decision a few years from now.
Joe Glenn is the easy choice for USD to make. He may be the best coach, he may not. If he isn't selected I will be ok with it, if he is same deal. It is hard to argue the success he had at the D2 level and also at the D1 FCS level. If Joe somehow creates a buzz that brings in more money to USD to further improve upon the football program than that is an advantage that can't be discounted either.
To me it's about winning plain and simple. I could care less who takes us or how we get there as long as it's accomplished. I definately want a team that is going to be much more mentally tough and confident in end of game situations and on the road.
NDSU and UNI both won their first round playoff games. Hopefully USD will have a home playoff game of their own in a few years.

Regarding your post above: a little bit of the Al Davis perspective? Just kiddin'. I agree with your comments.
As challenging a hire as this is going to be I hope it isn't rushed. If the process goes a few more weeks it wouldn't bother me.
By the way. I saw in today's Argus BB game live chat that Joe is evidently out of the running anyway.

Like I said I am ok with it either way. I concur that USD absolutely has to take the necessary steps and do the necessary research to make the best choice however long it needs to take. It remains a very exciting time to follow USD athletics. Ok it's time for one of those Coyote insiders to give us another nugget of info on the coaching search to tear into a little.

I heard Heupel actually submitted his resume...I wouldn't mind that one bit. Guess that wasn't a crazy idea ...

A good hire but it will be interesting to hear his reasoning for wanting to jump back into what will certainly be a challenging situation. A dated piece of bio but still worth looking at: www.coacheshotseat.com/JoeGlenn.htm

Great hire by the Yotes - I think this will get the attention of all in-state kids - best of luck in the future.

I think this will be a great hire for the Yotes. You know he will bring enthusiasm and passion for the program. I am in no way saying Ed didn't have those qualities because we know he did, but you would always wonder about a new hire and how they will assimilate into the culture. Will not be a problem here.
Only downsides I see as of now are short term, and they are that Joe has been out of the recruiting circles for 3 years. Needs to re-establish those contacts and get up to speed very quickly on this years available HS seniors and close the deal on the contacts that were already made. Also will have missed 3 years of working with up and coming assistants so will have to rely on his acquaintances (which I am sure are many) for suggestions in addition to his own repsonsibilities of evaluating the current assistant coaching staff.

Great hire by the Yotes - I think this will get the attention of all in-state kids - best of luck in the future. Its been 10 yrs since he has been successful. And he hasnt coached since 2007. He really didnt do anything at Wyoming. So im not sure why this would get the attention of all in-state kids. If he comes in and wins right away, it might cause excitment.

If you don't understand why this is a great hire, then you fully don't understand USD football. And maybe you don't realize the difference between D1 and D 1AA. I will probably end up saying this many times over the next few months but will say it for the first time now. There is not, and never will be a more passionate man to coach Coyote football. He bleeds Coyote red. He has always bled Coyote red. The passion alone will get him in homes to recruit. Secondly, he has a track record of succeeding in D2 and D1AA. He has 3 national titles under his belt. Going to Wyoming was an ego boost, but make no doubt about it playing in that league, vs the Big Sky or MVC is a whole lot different. At Wyoming, that might have been one of the toughest places to recruit to, yet expectations were the same as TCU, or Air Force, and that was to win conference titles and play in bowls. A completely different scenario. I equate this hire to Iowa States hiring of Paul Rhoads. The passion he brings to that team day in and day out is something to behold. Kids will love playing for Joe like they did Ed. Although I didn't agree with how Ed was dismissed, I think this hire might be the best in the history of Coyote football. WELCOME BACK COACH

Congrats USD and Congrats Joe Glenn. Welcome back to the midwest and back to Coyote Football. What an exciting day it will be tomorrow at the press conference. It looks like the Glenn family is going to have to go winter coat shopping. No more putting up with the 100 plus degree days in the Southwest but the shock to the system will be getting used to the harsh South Dakota winters again.
I don't think hardly anyone will say that we really blew it with this hiring. Glenn is going to bring passion to the program. His players should take the metality of his personality. I agree that it's important that we get good coordinators. I would have no problem with Beschorner staying on as long as it's not as OC. The offense really regressed the past 2 years. I think he would be great as quaterbacks coach.
There is no question in my mind that this program is better off today than it was a month ago. We will see how things go from here but the challege will be immediate for Glenn and he will have to get up to speed with the Missouri Valley very quickly just like everyone else associated with Coyote Football.
