I have been tossing around the idea of Brent Venables or maybe even Harbaugh. I think if I were a Coot that’s who I’d be pulling for right about now.
As far as Freeze goes, I don’t think Sankey will go for it because he stopped Hugh from going to work for Nick at Alabama, but at the time Freeze was still sanctioned. He isn’t now, but thats only one problem I see right off the cuff.
Another is, Why in the name of plucked cocks everywhere would Sakerlinah want to go down the road so many other teams have by trying to save a little money and going for the lowest hanging fruit. Look what happened to the once mighty University of Tennessee (God Bless Jeremy Pruitt by the way), when they tried to save a little money and roll the dice with the likes of Dooley the dummy, Kiffen the jinx, and Butch the bricklayer.
Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that Sakerlinah already screwed up royally this last time by hiring a cross conference coach after he was fired for incompetence. Why oh why would you think going down that same path would be anywhere in the ballpark of a good idea?
I guess my point is that if you fail to get it right this time you end up in much worse shape for a much longer time.
Realistically I am not sure even John Dalton could straighten out this particular coop.
Tanner said they would focus on an offensive minded HC. Based on the tone and some things I have heard, Tanner will be the public face of this coach search but, Caslen will be very involved in any decision that is made.
There are a lot of potentially good picks out there, I’m just glad they finally pulled the trigger on Muschamp. He had shown zero ability to get the job done and what’s worse, seemed very reluctant to change. I never like to see anyone get fired and, I feel for his wife and kids but, this is a production based endeavor (wins) and he produced very little in that department.

Things went from bad to worse today with at least 4 guys quitting and walking out like Spurrier did.
Now Shaw is coming back, which I’m not so sure is a good idea either. Why you ask?
Lets see, after leaving the Cocks Shaw goes undrafted and after the draft signs with Cleveland on the practice squad. After Manzel and Hoyer got hurt they brought Shaw up from the practice squad for his one and only NFL game,where by the way he never scored and threw at least one Interception as I recall.
But wait, theres more. After his illustrious career at Cleveland Shaw gets drafted to the Bears practice squad where he stayed on the injured list until he was fired later that year.
If that weren’t enough Conner then takes a job at Furman in a coaching position only to quit before the first snap of the season, again following in his hero Spurriers footsteps and leaving the Paladins in the shape they find themselves in today. (Monkey see, Monkey Do)?
But anyway, I don’t think Shaw is a great fit for the Cocks even though he falls right in line with the mentality and environment that has become the Gamecocks M O.
Just some random thoughts. Thats all I got. As you were
Yeah, Conner took Marcus Lattimore’s place after he quit. See a pattern here?
RBF, go back to the political section and dilute that place. Honestly it’s the guys like you in here that think they are being cute by posting on every topic that have literally destroyed this place. Your constant cut/paste of BS with only vague points and regurgitated talking points are quite honestly like playing cards with my sisters kids*
Please sir, try and be relevant, entertaining, whimsical, informative and most of all,think before you click post.
Otherwise the demise of CF, as I see it anyway, lies at your feet. Well, you and Bolbie and Fred and a few more, but you seem to be the ringleader.

I just heard from my brother in law, that his wifes 1st cousin (by marriage) has a neighbor that works in the athletic department at Cincinnati and they said…just kidding
But all my sources are pointing to all the posturing happening in and around the Cincy program.
Hey, Luke Fickell would be a good fit, he’d be punching up for awhile, but who in the SEC doesn’t start that way (usually in a big way)
Based on 100+ years of mediocrity and failure, does it really matter who they hire.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

We definately did much better recruiting. I feel great about running game which should open up a decent offense. we picked up a lot of DB’s which we really needed. It all depends on how well he can manage the game and how good his play callers are. I can’t wait to see!!!
