Derek, Coco, et el….I spoke w Ken awhile back, indeed he does want to come home. However, the more crucial question is whether he wants to coach, and specifically does he want to coach at UH?

Things to consider, while recruitment is certainly a challenge at NAVY, the yield is a highly intelligent, detail oriented, responsible and academically inclined student athlete. Which by way of either concidence or conscription, is a really nice fit for his system and brand of ball. As you might infer, what I’m alluding to, is that he would be dealing with an entirely different set of both institutional and player athlete narratives.

At Navy, one does not think about how to feed and/or house your players–probably the farthest thing from his mind. Boosters??? There are none-accept if you count the US Treasury. People attending and passing classes- those who don’t go or don’t pass-are rare abberational outliers.

Now, could he be successful here–most certainly, however, it’s not a seamless situation without its own transitional period.

I know people here are mentioning Paul Johnson and Kenny Niumatalolo to be the next coach here. I can honestly say I wouldn’t want that. I don’t want triple option again. If we just throwing names out I want someone from the Baylor staff maybe Brian Norwood or even maybe Art Briles son Kendal Briles(he coaches passing game coordinator/receivers/off. Recruiting coordinator) or Babers. Just a little info on Kendal Briles he was B12 recruiter of the year in 2013 and 2014. With the 2014 recruiting class he was recognized by rivals, 247sports, and scout as recruiter of the year for the B12. I want someone young and energized. I know we can’t get him but I can hope right?

RE: #139
4-prong — I agree. I remember Glanville came in and installed the 3-4, the big bag, and a lot of color for a guy dressed in black. There had to be personnel changes and some new learning. I recall the Jones & Glanville second best shtick was Jerry wanting to put players on waiver after great breakdowns and lapses. Jones would patiently explain to him that college ball didn’t work that way. Their best shtick was leaving tickets for Elvis at the box office when they were pro coaches.

Some reports said that Glanville insisted that June Jones “draft”/recruit or trade for some players of his choice for defense. Not sure how that played out–perhaps ST can recall (and say). In any event, the defensive cupboard certainly was not bare when McMackin returned and implemented the 4-3 again in 2007.

#143. The optimist in me says 6 can do. The dreamer in me says why not win out and go 12-3.

Expecting to learn from the past is not the same as expecting to return to it. This will be the 3rd match up against 5 MWC teams, and all 8 were played last year. This year’s MWC play doesn’t start until week 7. With 16 MWC games played in 2 years, and only one win against UNLV. Is at least 6 MWC wins and bowl eligibility unreasonable to expect?

Nevada: L 24-69, L 9-31, 2014?
San Diego State: L 14-52, L 21-28 OT, 2014?
Colorado State: L 27-42, L 28-35, 2014?
Fresno State: L 10-45, L 37-42, 2014?
UNLV: W 48-10, L 37-39, 2014?
San Jose State: “——“, L 27-37 , 2014?
Utah State: “——“, L 10-47, 2014?
Wyoming: “——“, L 56-59, 2014?
New Mexico: L 23-35, “——“, “——”
Boise State: L 14-49, “——“, “——”
Air Force: L 7-21, “——“, “——“

Kifi, Tempmanoa and Ala Wai. Three different viewpoints each sounds reasonable enough. One says keep the O just execute better, another says add another formation to spread/loosen the defense and yet another says run more play time of possession and field position no need hurry up.

Now for my inane take….Ala Wai is the ghost of Christmas Past saying look what has come before and find your solution here. Kifi is the ghost of Xmas present saying this is how it is the solution if right in front of us. Temp is the ghost of Xmas yet to come saying look at your miserable fate if you don’t change.

The later in the day I post the more they don’t make sense to anyone but me.

Reilly could be a Nick Foles or Kaepernick type of QB with that height and build.

I thought Josh Long was going to be an impact.

Glanville’s defense wasn’t the best, but it got better from his first year in 2005, and was middle of the pack nationally. He only stayed for two years though, but if anything, the defense was entertaining to watch.
