UC Coaching Search Official Thread

Has anyone discussed which assistant coaches we think would stay or go? I heard that if Quinn doesn't get the head coach job he will go to ND. What about Kerry Combs? Does he look to stay at Cincy because its his home or does he go to ND (does he even get invited to go?) KC is an interesting discussion. Would he want to stay at Cincy and would the new coach want him.

I think we should stop trying to "play" AD and let the man who has that title do his job. To speculate is one thing, but to come across like some of us know what quality a coach must have and whether or not they are good at them should really stop.Not one of us really know anything about any of these people, but we critique them as though we are making the hire. That being said i am glad Sumlin chose to stay at Houston,based ONLY on what his teams have not done. As far as Quinn there is only one way to get HC experience. I dont know if he is ready or not, but i trust MT to find out.

Question on Quinn, was how much of that Spread offense was him and how much was BK? Can he continue to "greatest show on turf" without BK and make that transition to head coach?

I don't know who the best head coach would be. I hope, no am praying that MT makes the right choice and that we continue to build upon the last 6 years. A lot of people think we are building on the last 3 years, but in reality Dantonio really started moving us forward. Can the next coach keep that going?

I agree with the above poster. We don't know what its like to work with these guys or play for them. Most of you only like or think you know anything about Quinn because you want him to be Brian Kelly

[JohnFrancis]

I think MT should at least inquire about:
Steve Spurrier
Butch Davis
Jerry Moore

Recent internet story about the 'ol ball coach (SS) (can't remember where I saw it). USC is his last stop. He only wants to coach to about 2013 or 2014. Just got an extension. He can't play at Kiowa (sp?) if he's in the Queen City. Forget about SS. Question: Why would Davis leave Chapel Hill to come to Cincy? UNC has great facilities, better weather, larger stadium, bigger budget, and winning the ACC is within reach every year, now that he is a few years into rebuilding the program.

Agree. I think you cross off SS and Davis.

I like Moore but he's unlikely to leave App St.

update: App St. just lost. Phone call time.

Those posters who are floating Quinn's name are doing so not out of some weird psychological fixation on BK, but rather because they think he is in the best position to ensure continuity in the program...

Very logical. Are we just looking at this for the sugar bowl or long term? I think there will be a new ball coach in cincy no later than tuesday

You are correct...it is worth the call.

Thanks. Interesting stuff.

Tidbit that means nothing but I just thought I'd throw it out. I am the king of useless info.

ND edged BC this year, BC pasted CMU.

CMU guys are pretty funny. Right after the true assement of Quinn they go ahead and start trying to sell him to us so we leave Butch alone, hah

I think it is very crucial to keep KC. He is the key to recruiting cincy high school and Ohio.
