Wow I just heard

[olevetonahill]

That ND is after Josh
Can this be true ?

[yermom]

would be a nice stepping stone for him

[Sabanball]

Yea, sure...and Obama is about to become a republican.:rolleyes:

[sooner ngintunr]

:pop:

I heard they want a package deal.

JH, KW, BV and BS.

Could be wrong though.

[Collier11]

WIth all the struggles that ND has had lately, I highly doubt they go after an assistant who has never even been a coordinator

[meoveryouxinfinity]

has charlie weis even been fired yet? lol

[olevetonahill]

WIth all the struggles that ND has had lately, I highly doubt they go after an assistant who has never even been a coordinator

The Rumor is they want someone young enough that they can groom into the Perfect fit fer em

[jbstrick]

It all depends on who you heard it from? If it came from Bob himself, then I would probably believe it. If not...

[salth2o]

Is he Catholic?

[olevetonahill]

Yea, sure...and Obama is about to become a republican.:rolleyes:

Dont roll yer tide eyes at me, Im just sayin what I heard .:P

[Sabanball]

Notre Dame will go after an established HC, IMO. Money, obviously, will not be an issue, but they are not going to pay north of $4mil for anyone else other than a marquee name. I really think they will make a run at Urban Meyer at the conclusion of the season and try to make him the second $6million man(Lee Majors was the first....;-)). If they strike out against him, I predict they will go after an up and comer HC like the guy at Cincy, Boise, or TCU. Notre Dame football is too big for someone that does not have HC experience.

[olevetonahill]

Thats just it Saban
they are tired of pursuing these Big Names and gettin jacks squat fer it

Rumor I heard is they are lookin for someone to Grow the Program around
Take it or leave it

[Widescreen]

This stuff never gets old. :D

[Tailwind]

Where did you hear that? Just out of curiosity. :D

[OUAlumni1990]

Would suck, because I can see Josh taking over OU someday.

[Sabanball]

What big names have they had? Ty Winningham? Pulease......the last "big name" they hired was Lou Holtz, and say what you want but that era was a pretty dang good time to be a fan of the fighting irish. They won a NC and for the most part fielded very good teams year in and year out--and absolutely dominated USC(Lou was 9-1-1 against the condoms).

We here in Alabama experimented with non-established HC's and it was disastrous. We finally woke up and realized that we needed to open up the checkbook and get a proven HC commodity. Our tradition alone could not carry us. Notre Dame--love them or hate them--is in the same echelon with us and you guys. I predict they will go after an established HC....

[sooner ngintunr]

I heard something similar too.

That they are going after an entire staff, not just a HC.

Not sure how many staff, but they want a proven offensive system.

[TMcGee86]

FIRE JOSH VULNERABLESON!!!

[XingTheRubicon]

Bob Davie was ND's DC before taking the HC job at ND

Charlie Weis was never a head coach, college or pro.

Gerry Faust was a high school coach.

[olevetonahill]

Im hearing something like a 10 yr plan
If I remember right Yall hired and fired Faster than Katy changes her drawers.
Yall never let anybody Develop , Kept expectin a MNC by the 2nd year and then firein after the 3rd .

The Plan the Donors and such are lookin at is
Give Josh 10 full years to develop the Team and coaching staff, Give him a Blank check if you will to Hire and fire assistants as he sees fit .

Sounds like it Just mite work to me

Josh can go down as the Longest active ND coach in history

[sooneron]

This thread is pure awesome!

[Crimson_Balls]

would be a nice stepping stone for him

A stepping stone?? He will have a spot in the front of the line, my friend.

[yermom]

Would suck, because I can see Josh taking over OU someday.

after getting some experience at a lesser place, like South Bend ;)

[sooner ngintunr]

Thats why it would be a stepping stone.





:pop:

[DarrellZero]

So ND is going to hire our quarterbacks coach and give him a 10 year contract?

I love Josh, but that's nuts.

[yermom]

maybe it would be a Jimbo Fisher kinda deal

[1890MilesToNorman]

Time to warsh that wienie again me thinks.

[sooner ngintunr]

Just imagine Josh coaching Clausen. We all saw what he did with Bradford, I mean imagine what he could do with a talent like Clausen.

I don't see whats so nuts about it.

:pop:

[Curly Bill]

The way I heard it is they think of Josh as an up and coming coaching talent, and they want to get him before he's snapped up by someone else looking to make a splash with a bright young coach.

[olevetonahill]

This ^ is what Im talkin about .
Josh has pretty much been a coach forever
Hell he was raised By a coach , was a Coach on the field and has gotten experience at AZ and here

[Curly Bill]

They already tried the experienced old dude in Weis, and that hasn't worked out so great. I can totally see why they'd go a different route this time.

[SunnySooner]

I would have to go on about a 4 day drunk if this happened. Possibly involving some illegal substances as well. He is OUrs, I want him to be OUr head coach someday, and I HATE NOTRE LAME!!! I want NOTHING good for them, including Josh.

[olevetonahill]

I agree Sunny
But what can WE do ?

[Curly Bill]

I know what I'd do, I'd fire KW and promote Josh, but that probably wouldn't be enough anyway.

[SunnySooner]

Maybe we could all just send him love notes, with gift cards to nice restaurants enclosed. Joshie likes a good steak!!!!:D

[VA Sooner]

What I can't believe is the contract/package deal that Weis got at Notre Dame and without head coaching experience. What's even more unbelievable is the $18 million buyout if they terminate/fire him early to hire someone else. ND screwed themselves in so many ways.

Josh will be great someday... lots of poise and patience... but he needs head coaching experience before heading to a big program like ND... to avoid what Charlie Weis did there to himself.

[BS-JE]

Talked to a couple of alumni friends of mine from Southbend. They said there is fuel behind this fire about getting Josh! I hope Josh is smarter than that, but wish him well if so

[tidalmouse]

I caught about half of the Sports Call-In Show down South here and they were talking about that.I thought I had heard them wrong.Guess not. :pop:

[FaninAma]

This thread is like an F-5 tornado.........
Sucking a lot of you hillbillies in.

[1890MilesToNorman]

I don't think there's ever been a head coach anywhere named Josh? Another Sooner record.

[Curly Bill]

But damn it, seriously? Can we not send them KW and keep Josh? :mad:

[BS-JE]

Maybe the Irish are smarter than we think?

[OUAlumni1990]

I agree Sunny
But what can WE do ?

We can start by chasing some of those illegal substances that Sunny speaks of. :D THEN we can be able to figure it all out!

:pop:

[1890MilesToNorman]

If Josh goes then Sunny will be right with him, she gonna design them new Leprechaun unis with the lucky red bras. Win / Win situation.;)

[tanjou]

I know I'm talking to a wall, but Kevin Wilson is an amazing OC. Coaches from around the country mimic what he does and look to him for new wrinkles in their offenses and protection schemes. It would be a huge hit to lose Kevin Wilson.

Our offensive players are **** this season, not the coordinator. Just because he doesn't call the same plays you would in NCAA 09 doesn't mean he sucks.

[BS-JE]

Man I dont even play 09. That was so last year. Bottle up cans and get money for 2010. Goodness grief :D

[Soonerborn03]

I hear Tyrone Willingham is still available.

[sooner59]

Great...another job is available. I guess its that time of the year for this ****. Give me a ****ing break... I bet Mark Rogers spearheaded this article.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Most illiterate comment ever right after that article.

[tommieharris91]

Most illiterate comment ever right after that article.

It's like one of the n00bs here posted it.


Its the same old thing.if you have a lossing season at OU ,you are out.the fans will not put up with a loosing concept.maybe all of these players getting hurt is a good sign that the coaches are straining the top 20 players and not teaching football to the rest.football is not a monkey see monkey do.It has always been a team sport for the whole team.Stoops has been mising this for the past couple of years.Its really to bad that he does not look the other players as stars.They want there chance,but held back for those stars going Pro.Its time to get a coach that has dreams for all of his team,not just his.Stoops has cheated a lot of young men this year,and it time for some new blood,Sonner Blood to take over and give all the players for the next 30 years to be moore than a (Car Salesman)its time to bring back the word team,all members.....thanks

[swardboy]

I hate it when Stoops starts mising around....

[King Barry's Back]

You're right. They do like to hire head coaches, though they did get a high school coach once. That didn't really work for them, though, but it says a lot about their mind set.

[StoopTroup]

What ever is God's Will....Notre Dame will accept it.

I'd personally like to congratulate Mack Brown on his new position in South Bender.

[TUSooner]

Bob Davie was ND's DC before taking the HC job at ND

Charlie Weis was never a head coach, college or pro.

Gerry Faust was a high school coach.

Davie = FAIL
Weis = FAIL
Faust = FAIL

ND really IS too big for those kinda guys.

[Collier11]

As much as I hate it, I think College Football as a whole is better when the big dogs, aka OU, ND, Ohio St, Mich, USC, etc... are all good

[OUDoc]

I heard they want our stadium and the stacks from the library too.

[olevetonahill]

Mock all ya want peeps
Rumor has it they have Now asked for "Permission " to talk to Josh
So shove it :mad:

[John Kochtoston]

Davie = FAIL
Weis = FAIL
Faust = FAIL

ND really IS too big for those kinda guys.

This x 100.

[BS-JE]

SportsAnimal just mentioned them being interested in Josh. Didn't elaborate to much on it.
See if BBJ or Pat Jones say something on it.

[Mjcpr]

Don't teams normally fire a coach before they start asking permission to speak to others about being their coach?

I can't imagine ND would go after somebody that has never even been a coordinator to be their head coach.

[olevetonahill]

Well if the SA is reporting it
then it must NOT be true
When do they ever get anything right

[texas bandman]

Well if the SA is reporting it

Yep they probabaly got their info from this board. :D

[Sabanball]

Charlie Weis was never a head coach, college or pro.

Gerry Faust was a high school coach.

....and all three were disasters....

[TXBOOMER]

I think Jon Gruden will end up taking that job.

[boomermagic]

Mock all ya want peeps
Rumor has it they have Now asked for "Permission " to talk to Josh
So shove it :mad:

I just heard the exact same thing..

[Collier11]

I think Jon Gruden will end up taking that job.

He just signed a multi yr contract extension with ESPN, not that it necessarily matters but you woudl think he wouldnt sign a new contract if he would even entertain coaching now

[meoveryouxinfinity]

yep i heard it too and they said something about josh turning heads in boomerblast

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

So I don't want to alarm anyone...but outside my third-floor window at work I just saw what looked like a white LearJet landing at Max Westheimer...and the plane was coming in from the east.

Of course, it COULD just be Chief Justice John Roberts...

[murray1430]

What are the chances Harbaugh is looked at from Stanford for the Nostalgia Damsel job (if Wizz is fired)? Also, could Stanford be the next power out of the PAC 10?

[Widescreen]

It's going to be very difficult for Stanford to compete at the highest levels long-term due to their academic requirements. I don't see them ever being a consistent top 10 team.

Glad I wasn't drinking a beverage, I'd have spit it out my nose and all over my screen. That's some funny *** stuff.

Hater in the house

[Leroy Lizard]

Not really.

Dont know why Yall aint :confused:

It would be his, if interested. I have no doubt about that.

[yermom]

in comments i saw somewhere else, someone was saying that Michigan was taking Joe C as well

[utex74]

I don't know about Josh, but going after an entire staff and bringing in a proven system seems like it could be the next big thing in coaching hiring. Would be interesting.

[Curly Bill]

in comments i saw somewhere else, someone was saying that Michigan was taking Joe C as well

I heard that on the radio driving home today.

[VA Sooner]

Can't go after another assistant. Need an actual head coach with experience and a proven winnning record. If they're going after Josh, it's to get Bob Stoops and company.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Notre Dame can suck it! So can Michigan.

[MR2-Sooner86]

Bob Stoops to Notre Dame. I heard it from a friend's friend who washes his car at the same place the guy that cuts Bob's son's best friend's hair does.
