It's not over for Smith

Never underestimate the allure of a) the HC you played for b) the school you played for.GreenRiverGatorz said:Shit, Erickson is only 70? I thought the dude was creeping into his 90s at this point. But as much as I would love Erickson to drag Smith away, I don't really see why Babushka himself would go for it. Unless he sees the writing on the wall here, you're really looking at a substantial demotion with no actual guarantee of becoming OSU's HC any time soon.
Let's hope his heart beats his head. -
It's great for us(?) no question. For OSU, I just don't get it. Denny's MO has been to come in, get a bunch of JC dirtbags, win some games quickly, then run out of gas. I don't see how combining the quick-fix with some kind of long-term heir apparent works. If Denny does what Denny does, the next guy has a big mess to clean up. If the AD keeps Denny on a leash, then what's the point of hiring him at all?Dennis_DeYoung said:
I'm not fully sure it's insane. I mean, listen I'm not a Babushka guy obviously - so that is what it is; but this isn't really different than Rocky Long or Bill Snyder. At these kind of schools, if you have a climber as a coach you are always going to be in flux. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this didn't turn out to be a good strategy for them.GrundleStiltzkin said:This is such a chincredibly chinsane fucktarded idea.
Get a guy that understands the job, knows the landscape and will do well and care. If I were Oregon State, I would be pretty interested in this type of hire. -
Pending Corvallis bar revenue boom.

How shitty does a program have to be to even consider something like this. And yet the Beavers really are that shitty.

If someone would have told me 3 days ago that Denny and Herm might be the conference's 2 newest 'splash' hires, I would have jumped off the top of the space needle.
This is something I could see going over well in the SEAC or American Conference. -

Would be great for us to get rid of Smith, but I suspect OSU prefers Beau Baldwin.UWhuskytskeet said: -
