As is their current coach.

The list of SEC coaches that have hired 1st time HCs in the last decade is lengthy.

Some succeeded. Some failed.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Thinking ahead somewhat - Diamond Dave MU

Dude from ku is too old and hasn't proven himself yet. Kst - Uncle John MU

- 9/12 10:26:30

They're only 4 years apart and Leipold hasn't proven - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 10:33:07

how many ppg did ku give up last year. You really aren't - Uncle John MU

- 9/12 10:38:43

Well are you talking D2 championships when you say - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 11:26:59

I just think he's a better coach. I don't want either. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 9/12 11:50:42

Both are good coaches - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 10:43:22

I could see DRF hiring Charlie Huff. Great recruiter and - Uncle John MU

- 9/12 10:51:58

Nope. He's basically Drinkwitz at App St(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 11:28:27

What about Traylor from UTSA? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 13:15:17

Agree on Huff(nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 11:06:03

Definitely, in the 2 major sports, she's hired 3 people - Eggs MU - 9/12 10:47:42

What about Smith at Oregon State? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 09:20:43

GJ Kinne - Lakers_Ball UK - 9/12 09:39:03

Cool guy. - 19Kilo ARK - 9/12 17:48:04

Losing record so far. Leipold is 156-56 in his career - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:34:36

Oregon State was in a bad spot when he was hired - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 10:00:29

We should move to FCS if we can't pull a sitting coach at - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 10:15:50

West coast guy but could take full advantage of the Pac - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:22:26

Drink and Moore are also part of that tree (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 09:23:25

Drink never worked for Petersen - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:28:46

And Harsin did coach with Petersen(nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 09:30:55

Harsin got screwed at Auburn; is he done? - tigersailor MU - 9/12 11:41:36

Well apparently very little rubbed off there - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:32:58

Someone like Leipold is who we need though - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:18:18

Last sentence is the death knell. Of course Odom too, but - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:25:05

Kirby Smart was a first time HC - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 09:27:02

Kirby is a massive outlier. Richt also recruited at a top - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:32:42

Dan Mullen was a first time hire at MSU - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 09:53:03

I'm aware. We have consecutive failures, so maybe it's - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 10:16:29

Different ADs made those hires - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 10:23:08

Will Muschamp was also a can't miss DC hire as HC - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:34:48

Yeah, we have to go for an established guy(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:37:05

Kirby is the real deal at the perfect spot for him - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:39:49

Willie Fritz maybe?(nm) - redngray MU - 9/12 09:13:36

Absolutely not(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:15:57

Ok but we’re not going to get Kleiman or Leipold(nm) - redngray MU - 9/12 09:17:53

Won't be popular but I'd go after Dan Mullen - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:19:59

Mullen would be a good hire, yes(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:35:09

I’d be ok with that(nm) - redngray MU - 9/12 09:21:10

Why not?(nm) - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:19:19

Painful as it is to say - redngray MU - 9/12 09:24:22

Mizzou is not a lateral move from ku or kstate, regardless - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:30:32

I’d like to agree with you - redngray MU - 9/12 09:38:16

Wasn't Michigan gauging interest in Pinkel at one point?(nm) - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:36:05

Rumor was Mich and Wash, but he stayed regardless. AND - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/12 09:39:01

Too old (63) and 0 P5 experience - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:15:25

He’s won at a rate that you don’t see at Tulane - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/12 09:22:30

Still wouldn't take him at 63 as a first time P5 gig(nm) - Eggs MU - 9/12 09:30:48
