Scott Frost come on down...

Chip Kelly and Helfrich were both offensive coordinators with no head coaching experience when they got the Oregon job.GrundleStiltzkin said:
i realize sling's job title was "offensive coordinator" but good lord, chipper ran that shit til the day he left.
Two names that fit the bill are Lincoln Riley and P.J. Fleck.
riley is 33 years old and "a disciple of mike leach." ill be the first motherfucker at eugene airport (with a cake and/or pie) if he's hired. -
The way Nick Aliotti was forced out was wrong, he should come back and return his defense to average
-
Kelly 100% WILL be hired. I have a contact at Oregon that confirmed it. Contract negotiations are under way, it will be announced later this week.
Last step is figuring out the buyout with Notre Dame. -

I saw rumors too, didn't see the flightaware though.
Hiring ND retreads after firing Gilby is always special. -
Serious answer: gotta believe it will either be Fleck or Frost.

This worries me, because Notre Dame's first call to replace Kelly would have to be Petersen. There's not many high profile coaches out there right now.UWhuskytskeet said:I saw rumors too, didn't see the flightaware though.

My sorcerers told me they are going to bring in a few coaches like Brian Kelly (yes you are right), Fleck, Frost, Charlie Weiss, Joe Paterno and Romeo Cronnell. They are going to settle it over a combination of challenges, such as madden 94, duck hunt, hot dog eating contest, and Twister. The final 2 will be given a list of materials and told to design a new uniform for the season opener, the kids will vote anonymously and the winning uniform will put the coach into the driver's seat for the most prestigious job in all of Eugene sports. People in the know are really hoping it's televised to boost recruiting. They think this will bring Molden home.

Pretty sure that's the same guy that was expecting an 11 win season and didn't think Jake Browning was very good.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
QB11 is your source?AZDuck said:This guy has been right everything, right up to the date Helfrich was getting the axe. It was pretty clear this weekend he knew what was coming. Former Oregon player with contacts in the program.
Big, if true.

don't worry about this...the ND job is toxic and Peterson knows it.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Maybe I'm a fool, but I am not even a little worried about Petersen leaving. He is happy here and he has gotten through the adjustment period of the first two seasons. He has told us that it was hard. He is right at the cusp of having UW rolling like he had Boise rolling, only in a major conference where there is no real limit to the upside. And I am pretty sure he knows that.Meek said:

He is also very happy being somewhat anonymous in the Seattle area. If he went to Eugene or South Bend that would go away.
I may be wrong but Petersen also doesn't seem like the kind of guy who cares about the difference between being very fucking rich and very, very fucking rich. -
Agree. My point is that Petersen probably checks every single box for ND, and that a call from ND might be the one Petersen at least takes.AIRWOLF said:

Petersen probably checks every box for every program in the country at this point. It's something we'll have to deal with forever. Hopefully Jude's rumor is true and we'll get him locked up after this week.GrundleStiltzkin said:

I'd be much more worried about Petersen to Oregon than to ND.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Oregon doesn't scare me much. ND doesn't scare me at all.
Coach stays. -
When they rip it out from underneath you.... Is that really constituted as a Couch Sale???

Another shoe dropped this afternoon. All of the assistants were fired. Termination notices were sent out earlier this afternoon. Another VERY STRONG clue that Oregon already has their guy.

Lots of smoke about Brian Kelly on NDN Irish site.

Why would we? pay 11M to hire another coach who drove his Ferrari into a ditch?Gladstone said:Lots of smoke about Brian Kelly on NDN Irish site.

Losing him to Oregon ... maybe ... but after he hung 70 on them I would say he has purple blood when it comes to that discussion.
Losing him to ND ... no way. Who the fuck in their right mind would want to coach that dumpster fire.
And lastly ... he is much more a NW guy than a fucking mid-west hick. -
If you were ND's AD and in a position where you may want to move on from Kelly, but don't want to pay his buyout, it puts you in an interesting position right? You don't want to set a precedent that if a coach wants to move on that you won't enforce the terms of the buyout ... but if the buyout is too painful to keep a program from hiring him then you run the risk of having to eat the buyout next year.AZDuck said:

Fun times in the coaching carousel ... -
All Oregon's commits are now following this guy on Twitter. Played against Kelly at UMASS and has been the recruiting coordinator at Temple for a couple years, so some overlap with Kelly. New recruiting coordinator?
