Skinny1 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If he can recruit texas kids to Bozeman they guy can recruit.. Bozeman... a place that is cold as hell with nothing to do... and you are U of Ms little brother. Been to Bozeman several times, they have an airport and the scenery is great. Also a good place to be if you're into fishing and hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have nothing against Ash being 65. Bill Snyder at K-State is 77 and he's still going strong. With several former FCS head coaches interested in the job I'm feeling pretty good that LU will end up with a good head coach. But you never know, they may pull a stunner and hire some unknown like they did with Woodard. Snyder is an anomaly I would say lol. I really like the idea of Ash though. He has a track record of good programs and has it in places that it isn't easy. I feel like he could get the program headed in the right direction and has the coaching contacts to have the right guy in place when he would decide to retire. Probably doesn't pass enough for puddin (does anyone really though?) but he puts good offenses on the field. I've also been told he is an excellent fundraiser and look at Bobcat Stadium's expansion under his tenure for further evidence of that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobcat_Stadium_(Montana_State_University) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUFAN Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Been to Bozeman several times, they have an airport and the scenery is great. Also a good place to be if you're into fishing and hunting. Bozeman is okay but they are sandwiched between two FC's powers and close to eastern washington. I grew up in Montana and until he came around the big sky was Montana's conference. The qb at Oregon this past year was the a fifth year guy that he recruited. Dakota prokup. If it isn't a FCs power coach or a real assistant in the fbs... not an uber coach. One that has play calling duties and assistants under him then ash is our best bet. If he does well st his age he isn't going fbs. There are some d2 coaches as well that should be looked at.

Skinny1 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Looks like Abilene Christian has scheduled a press conference this afternoon to announce their new football coach. They started their search about 10 days before we did, and supposedly have had him selected last week, but were negotiating contract terms until last night. Do not have his name yet.

LU1991 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The decision was made to let Coach Woodard go after the Incarnate game on November 12th. They should have had a guy in mind when that decision was made but more than a month later they are dragging this out while recruits are going elsewhere.

Not only that but dragging out effects the livelihood of the assistants. Those that aren't going to be retained will behind the 8-Ball trying to get other jobs.

I wonder if any old ones will be retained just out of necessity for recruiting, only to be let go during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about what Keeler makes at Sam and a lot more than the last ACU coach made. Reportedly doubled the money in the pool for assistants as well. Dorrel just turned 43 years old. News has been leaked to the local press in Abilene and Missouri but the formal announcement will be Monday at 10. ACU didn't want to disrupt Dorrel/NW Missouri's prep for the playoffs. Their season ends Saturday one way or the other when they play North Alabama for the D2 National Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachacola Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 http://kfdm.com/news/local/possible-front-runner-for-lu-head-football-coach-emerges Let me see if I have this right. Henderson hires a national search firm, successful college coaches have applied for the job, so the front runner is a local guy who's coaching in high school. I'll hold off on any rants until it's official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 http://kfdm.com/news/local/possible-front-runner-for-lu-head-football-coach-emerges I believe if he is selected, it will be an incredibly STUPID decision. But if the media won't reveal their source, I really don't believe it - they could be making it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracula Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The reality of the situation is Lamar is not going to pony up that amount of money for a HC and the staff. I like the idea of hiring Stump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormerCardnal11 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 There have been plenty of Texas high school coaches that have been successful at the NCAA level, bottom line is if they hire this guy we wont know how good of a decision it was for about 2 years. That's just how football works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 If Stump wasn't from the area would he be the front runner based on his resume only? My concern is he'll get the job only because of his connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckdad Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 First - this is just a report. The media gets this stuff wrong just as often as they get it right. Les Miles to Michigan? Tom Herman to LSU? Lane Kiffin to UH? Second - I don't care if it's a high school coach or a D-II coach or an FBS assistant. Can the guy recruit? Does he have a winning tradition and philosophy? Can he get it done? That's the most important thing. Stump obviously wants this job - he's asked for it twice. If it is him, I will be there every Saturday pulling for him to win. And I hope that in five years he has gotten a job at an FBS school - because that would mean we have won multiple conference championships and advanced in the FCS playoffs.

LU1991 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Stump applied for the coaching position in 2008 when Woodard was hired. I'm not totally against this hire (if story is true), just a little surprised you would have to pay a consulting group to hire someone that applied 8 years ago and he's from your own back yard.
