Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Sounds like the final two at CU are: Jimmy Lake and Ryan Day

    Name a head coach at one of the true blue bloods got the job straight from being a coordinator. I can’t think of one off the top of my head that wasn’t either an interim situation or they got promoted from within. Actually, just thought of Kirby smart. Is that it though? Doesn’t seem to happen.

    Bob Stoops. Lincoln Riley. Clay Helton.
    Not coaching. Promoted from within. Both interim AND promoted from within. Doesn't count.

    Will Muschamp
    and the thing is, Muschamp was the heir apparent to Mack Brown at Texas until he got tired of waiting.
    Muschamp is now next in line at North Carolina
    but he did get paid nicely by Florida, so if Jimmy Lake is so shallow (see what I did there?) that he's only about the money then he gone.

    Jeremy Pruitt, Dabo, Kirby Smart.

    They aren’t true blue bloods, but those are the kind of tier 1B jobs that Jimmy might be able to land.
    Already said Smart, and I think Tennessee is a good enough job that it would count. Certainly better than Colorado. Dabo was promoted from within, so doesn't count.

    So of the 18 or so programs that I would count in a (broadly defined) tier 1 (allowing for places such as Tenn, A&M, UW), I think there are exactly two schools with a HC that came straight from a coordinator job at another school to take over.

    I think ADs generally learned from the brief Will Muschamp phase we seemed to go through a few years ago when hot coordinators were snapped up for top jobs.

    Yeah yeah yeah. I read your message all the way through after I posted. Stoops still fits.

    Will Muschamp
    Coaches at South Carolina. Not blue blood. Barely tier three. Doesn't count.
    That’s after he flames out at Florida. He took over Florida after Urbany Meyer. That was a tier one job at the time.

    Muschamp was also the DC that started the act like a fucking maniac retard on the sidelines DC craze instead of calmly assessing the game from the booth

    Freak out as much as you feel is appropriate.

    Looking for something completely different, and turned up this tim capsule.
