Wanted to give people a chance to vote again since Brohm is going to Purdue.

And some people still don't think p5 matters that much? Well looks like it matters recruiting coaches, guessing it matters when recruiting players too. That being said, purdue over UC, lol.

I don't recall anyone saying P5 doesn't matter much in football.

For Purdue vs UC though, I think it depends on age/experience of the candidate. Are you just trying to get a P5 job to have a P5 job? Or are you a rising star who feels like winning at one more stop can all but guarantee you a very top P5 job?

EXACTLY. I'd say Purdue is high risk for career killer whereas UC not so much--a true stepping stone, until or unless they join a P-5 conference

Anyone know when/if we are meeting with fleck?

All these coaching candidates are standing in line for the UC job. Although it has not been a P5 conference for the last 4 years, Tuberville got blamed for everything--recruiting especially. It is no longer the great job everyone thinks it is. Tell me what it has to offer.

This is a very easy answer. First of all it offers a substantial raise to an up and coming coach. PJ Fleck makes 800k at WMU. Tubs make 2.2 million. Have heard a lot of people (Even that ass hat Lance McAllister) call it a lateral move. Even if that is true (It's not) who wouldnt take a 1.4 million pay raise to make a lateral move. Cincinnati has just upgraded it's historic stadium to the tune of 100 million dollars. Located in a big league town. Fertile recruiting ground. Plays on national TV. Chance to raise profile because you can win at UC. History of sending coaches to BIG TIME P5 programs (Brohm will die a slow death at Purdue). It is one of the most attractive jobs in the G5. Who is better? Houston and that is just the last two years. Boise? BYU? If you are looking to climb the latter there is not much better of an opportunity than Cincinnati. UC is in a great spot to get a really good coach.

TT couldn't even recruit better than other non p5 schools. He is done, gone, forget him.

The chance at a better job lol. Seriously though, Bohn can just point to our last four head coaches and say "Look, in the last 10 years we've had three quality head coaches and one flaming pile of crap. Those three coaches went straight from here to some of the best programs in the country. If that's your goal, that's OK with us and there's no better place than here to take as your next step."

Is he your uncle or something man?

 

[XgradforUC]

The AAC is considered by virtually everyone as the best non-P5 conference, and for various reasons the upper echelon of the AAC would certainly be considered by most as on a par with the 2nd division P5 schools, and in some cases even better than them.

I would certainly put UC in that upper echelon of the AAC, irregardless of the results of this past season. The mere fact that UC was a leading candidate for any B12 expansion plans should say something about how they are viewed nationally.

Is it a top 40 job at present? Probably not. But it is certainly a top 40-60 job and has proven to be a job that someone can advance into a top 30 job from.
Jobs at that level don't open up all that often, and coaches that aspire to those positions know that they must take on advancement opportunities when they are given them.

UC has a LOT to offer.

What did Chad say on the radio?

Mike Bohn will be on 700wlw with Rocky Boiman at noon today to discuss coaching search. He's been pretty transparent thus far. Can Bohnhead redeem himself with a good hire?

I think he's done a good job in the interviews I've heard from him about this. I'm optimistic that well get a very good coach.

I agree. I actually enjoy listening to the guy. I don't think he truly deserves the Bohnhead nickname, but it is hilarious. Props NTS

In the last 10-12 years I would def put UC in the top 40 football programs. Not too many teams have been to as many bowl games as us, including 2 BCS games.

 

[Jon Rycek]

Tuberville struck out time and time again on recruiting. It's not th schools fault, it's the coaches. The school did everything necessary to stay in par with the bigger schools. There is no reason why UC should be losing recruits to northwestern and U.K. And Indiana. It took UC til the mid 20-30s before they could land a top recruit. I understand we can't compete with osu and mich, but U.K. Out recruiting us in our own city, that's a joke.

 

[Jon Rycek]

So if we manage to land fleck, what's the thoughts on. Bringing Coombs in for d coordinator. He's not gonna leave osu for less than that I believe. His coaching ties in the city, his excellent recruiting skills, could they be worth it?

I'd rather make him Asst. HC rather than a coordinator if that would get him here. Tell him if he can make this coach successful- maybe he'd be ready to consider as HC for the next go-round.

Just a thought.
