Hiring an NFL assistant who has never been a coordinator is always a recipe for success. Has this ever worked?

Ummmm...no...

Also, wasn't Bienemy a huge RB for them back in the day???...that ALWAYS works too, hiring a former standout to come back and bring the program to glory...:crazy:

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Very poor decision, in my opinion.

Worked well for Minnesota, after all.

Steve Spurrier agrees

Peyton Manning to coach Vols...

To be fair, at least Spurrier had first proven himself as a coach.

Spurrier won at Duke... This is correct.

If Peyton Manning went and took Memphis to a few bowl games as HC I would be freaking pumped if we could get him as coach.

That Bryant fellow at Alabama did alright, too.

Jon Embree from the Redskins

Does the Ski team approve?:yikes:

Was he a legend as a player? Serious question, have no idea. He was obviously proven as a coach.

 

[tvolsfan]

Also, maybe Harbaugh at Michigan will join the list.

Of course he will. Don't be silly.

He played with a broken leg in a game so the story goes.

He was a very good player in his day.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

But what about all the people on VN with "sources" that said someone else would be the coach?

 

[PennVol]

John Harbaugh went from position coach with the Eagles to HC with the Ravens..he has been ok.

 

[FREE EARL]

They'll probably have a little bit of success. They'll bring in a fairly decent recruiting class. Colorado has a beautiful campus and strong academics, so doing so shouldn't be too entirely difficult. Plus, the Pac-10 isn't very strong. They'll be fine.

he wasn't exactly a slouch at A&M before that either. doubt they would have hired him if he was simply a TE coach.

He did well at UK. Although the claim to the 1950 national title is just sad.

Now that I think about it, I think he mentioned that in that movie Junction Boys.

Unless the PAC 10 sponsors ski teams, not too much to worry about from the Muffs...except the money you will be sending them.
