I have been told it is absolutely not going to be Ludwig.

Who else won't it be (besides Frost).

 

[L. Wade Childress]

someone who has been in my kitchen.

 

[Revolver]

someone who has been in my kitchen.

So TIH is out?

 

[BBK]

Army 3rd and inches out of the gun.

Straight faggotry. Fuck that guy

 

[CamelTones]

I want Ludwig to get the job for no other reason than he might open some in roads to giant Samoan offensive lineman.

 

[Revolver]

I’ll say it, I want that black QB.

 

[CamelTones]

It appears to be down to Chryst and Philbin.

 

[cloudhawk]

So, Philbin it is...

 

[KitKatApples]

Yep. It was to much to ask to go outside of the box on this one

 

[HerkyHopeful]

It appears to be down to Chryst and Philbin.

Philbin will feel like a tired and lazy hire but both options are better than anything Kirk has had at OC.

 

[Verbal]

It's a short-term hire, no matter who it is. Just get us out of the basement.

 

[BngHawk]

Out of the basement, yes. I’m going to get greedy and hope for 40% up that flight of stairs for a nice 80-ish ranked offense.

 

[kenos]

at this point, just be average

 

[sergeanthulka]

[Gushawk]

Boy did that Ludwig candidacy really peter out quickly.

 

[Gushawk]

He probably watched some Bacon film and muttered “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me”.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Ol’ Chryst or Philbin might know a qb or two looking for a landing spot.

Pipe dream with Cade here. But, how awesome would a Chryst hire with Maalik Murphy in tow be?

Sorry, nope. Must be loyal to deacon because reasons.

[Thomas Wolsey]

Pipe dream, of course.

 

[MikeyJoe]

A Philbin hire wouldn't be nearly as exciting as it would have been ~5 years ago.

 

[Hawkstrat]

The only thing to be concerned about over Philbin is that he has never been a QB coach.

[kenos]

but @Thomas Wolsey ol' Tony will just run Bacon through Dakota 5drop 46 right left under with a ramalamalinglong and he'll be drafted against his will!!!!!!!

I hate me some Tony Dovetail.

You may be unaware that we currently have a Gift from the Heavens with QB coaching experience on the current staff, and all indications are that he's going nowhere (in part, perhaps, because he can't at anything approaching the salary he now receives as a result of last year's raise).

 

[gable_guy]

Plus we have great, independent QB gurus to sell us on their prospect

 

[Herky823]

Yep. Just enough time, maybe 2-3 years, for Brian to rehab his image at another school/pro team and come back. The prodigal son returned.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

It would have been nice to actually consider an outside candidate that had head coaching potential.

 

[Verbal]

Yep. Just enough time, maybe 2-3 years, for Brian to rehab his image at another school/pro team and come back. The prodigal son returned.

Don't use any fatted calf analogies around Deacon. Makes him nervous.

A banning of Brian jokes should be added to the T&C of using this site, IMHO.

Doug didn’t get Brian fired so @Herky823 could make jokes about it.

 

[douglasbader]

The only reason a Philbin hiring would be remotely exciting is because of the wonders he worked with the OL back in the early 2000's.

 

[kenos]

Kirk is fuckin with ya'll

it's gonna be out of the box with this joe philbin

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

If Chryst can implement a running game that is 90% as effective as his Wisconsin teams, sign me the fuck up for that. Imagine how good the defenses would have been the last two seasons with an effective running game that can actually play complementary football.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Sign me up up for #teamchryst

Our offensive line has sucked I know, but another huge part of that is obviously zero passing threat. There's no world where the run game is 90% as effective as wisconsin unless there is *some* risk to the defense for putting 32 guys in the box.

If Lachey comes back, I actually think they have good enough pass catchers. They just need a QB that is capable of completing a forward pass and a competent OC.

I love how at first glance the mask looks like a neck brace.

Very mixed bag as the Cowboys OL coach dampers my enthusiasm. Was ultimately fired from that gig and replaced.

He's been fired or shoved down the line about a dozen times since he left Iowa. It's a shit hire if/when it happens. Chryst is the far superior hire.

 

[Stu Beagle]

So is he a fallback hire or is he actually the guy Kirk wants?

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Chryst, our Savior!

 

[WCFHawkeye]

@douglasbader, @Bob Sanders, if these are indeed the two finalists, percentages of each, and how soon til announcement?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

People I know think it’s philbin, which sucks
