Coaching replacement thread

I don't really want to go into too much detail about this year's dumpster fire. It's fucked and that's obvious. There's plenty of other threads for that. I want to look forward so let's be proactive as a fanbase and make some demands. Pete isn't going anywhere so let's get some serious discussion about who on the staff needs to be replaced (pretty clear) and who some realistic options are (unclear to me). Who should we target, what's it going to take, and what can we do as a fanbase to help make it happen? I need some optimism and hope to keep myself from buttplugging all my girlfriend's vaginal Valium. Discuss.

Pete or thud.

You're dreaming. There's too many positives with the infrastructure and recruiting to blow it up after one bad season. As has been discussed, many (all?) all time greats have had poor seasons. They made changes. We've seen it with James. Now if you told me Pete was getting canned, Jimmy was being promoted, and a big-time OC and offensive staff would be brought in with autonomy, and that this would be the only way to keep Jimmy around, I'm listening. I just don't see it happening. Let's discuss reasonable staff replacements.Baseman said:Pete or thud.

Why would you even care about Lake that much? What has he done except take a loaded defense and maintain it for a few years before it fell off a cliff this year?CallMeBigErn said:

Anybody got some names for OC?

Pete is not getting canned but he hired his asst coaches and kept them when the red flags rose. James delivered bowl wins and won facing tougher schedules. His 85 and 88 teams sucked balls but he had the equity of the 77/78, 1981, and 1984 seasons before. Pete beat Missippi St in some shit bowl I can't remember. Period.CallMeBigErn said:

Is it Lake or is it the atrocious linebacker play? We're playing with 9. Whose responsibility is that? Lake? Gregory? Injuries? Transfers? The undersized 2019 DL? The bad LB recruiting of 2015-2017? I'm still very much a Lake advocate. Not gonna throw Lake under the bus quite yet when there's so many variables that can explain one average defensive season. The D hasn't been atrocious like the O.RoadDawg55 said:

Not really. Chad Morris has been hyped but we aren’t getting him. Good, established coaches aren’t available. I would almost prefer thinking outside the box. Hire the best FCS OC or one from a non P-5 team. Hire an NFL position coach. It’s all a crapshoot really.sonics1993 said:Anybody got some names for OC?

What's Scott Linehan doing?sonics1993 said:Anybody got some names for OC?

Like the Atlanta QB coach? In all seriousness, I'm all for a FCS/G5 hire. I'm still intrigued by Beau Baldwin too. Yeah, he hasn't been great at Cal yet but he hasn't had a QB or any bullets. We have those things in the system and coming down the pipe. Sam Huard and our WR corps would shred in an air raid system. I would think Baldwin would be an easy pull if we wanted him. The air raid or some form of it is clearly the wave of the future and he's somewhat proven.RoadDawg55 said:

Just for shits and giggles, Baldwin made 650k this year and is at the end of his contract. Bush makes 750k and is at the end of his life. We could snag Baldwin in a heartbeat if we wanted him.
