Northwestern HC Search
« on: July 13, 2023, 07:17:51 AM »
I've only heard two names mentioned to date:

Sherrone Moore, Michigan OC
Tommy Rees, Alabama OC

Of those two Rees would seem the better fit at NW given his ND background and having grown up in the area.

If they are trying to get a new coach in place for the season, that is a terrible idea.

I have heard the suggestion they should try to reach out to Jim Leonhard,  the former Wisc assistant who filled in as interim head coach last year .  Last I heard he had not accepted any new coaching  position.

No. I don't want any part of seeing him back in the Big Ten.

Orgeron would be an awful hire for NW. Reminiscent of Kansas hiring Les Miles. Or Charlie Weis. Except even more of a cultural mismatch.

As overpraised as Jim Leonhard is, he'd be a good hire for NW but NW would be a bad first gig for him.

I don't think Jimmy is overpraised at all. He's an excellent DC. One thing I do know is he absolutely does like recruiting. That showed on the back end of the defense against teams with good/elite receivers.

Paul Chryst doesn't seem to want to be a head coach anymore. He doesn't embrace the new ways. He mailed it in for his last 2-3 seasons. Seems like the game has passed him by.

No interest from Hartline.  He made that clear really quickly.

I can't imagine being a head coach at the college level. The sport has always lacked the things that bring parity to pro sports (draft / salary cap), so it was a constant recruiting grind to convince impressionable teens to come play for you--especially hard when you lack "helmet". 

But now with the transfer portal and NIL, the lack of a "salary cap" means that if you're not a well-funded "helmet" you have an even bigger uphill battle, in that not only do you have to new recruit players to come play for you while annually re-recruiting the players on your roster who might believe they can earn NIL riches if they leave you. 

It's like Vegas. The helmets are The House, and The House always wins. 

I'm surprised more coaches don't just say "F it, I'm rich enough" and go do something else. Especially old-school coaches.
