CHUCKY COME HOME

[mraynrand]

Purdue already snapped up the Kent State coach. Bucky missed that golden opportunity. Darrell Hazell is the next Jim Tressel (scandals included).

Isn't Bowling Green the cradle of coaches?

[QBME]

YES, to CHRYST

Forgot Pitt; this has always been the dream job for Paul Chryst. Because he's such a high character dude he might remain loyal to Pitt and not take it.

He grew up a HS and Colleage Coach in the Madison area. Bucky needs stability. Right now Wisconsin is still stepping stone job for most coaches........aka....Bret and his Iowa Tatoo just left us.

Chryst brings long term stability and success. Let's all say it together

FREE PAUL CHRYST
FREE PAUL CHRYST
FREE PAUL CHRYST
FREE PAUL CHRYST


and if not, Bring Chucky to Madtown so he entertains Bretsky, and bring Cullen Jenkins back to GB to PB MAX sees that we haven't been the same since he left

Statement from Pitt Head Football Coach Paul Chryst:

“I understand the speculation surrounding my name given today’s developments. I am committed to the Pitt football program and the University of Pittsburgh. I am focusing all my time and energy on our team’s bowl game preparation and recruiting a great group of young men to join our program and this outstanding university. We are working hard every day to re-establish this program and I am excited about the future of Pitt football.”

Doesn't this sound like typical response from someone that is getting ready to jump ship?

Actually, yes it does.

I love Jon Gruden on MNF. I hope he stays there until he gets just the right situation or offer prsented to him. This is a hard working man; one totally dedicated with 'a nose to the grindstone' approach to his responsibilities.

I don't believe he'll just jump at any offer as he must know his penchant for perfection and the cost of that.

I know, I know, its the Packers board. But after saying Chryst should stay at Pitt, his press conference performance and interview on Dan Patrick, I am pretty sure Barry Alvarez could be elected Pope or president today. His choice.

not a chance. I had to look it up just to remember that PB was referring to Urbane Meyer, former BGSU coach. What I do know is that their colors are this funny orange, even though they are green. But that's just because I gave a talk there a while back. Also, as far as I know, there is no Meyer statue on campus, but I may have missed it.

That goofy orange was the color Paul Brown tried to copy when he started the Browns.

BG is a strange place, but it is a hella party school, even tho it's in nowhere Ohio.

I've heard rumors that Brad Childress might be the next Wisconsin coach.

The only thing I can say is *snerk*.

Seriously, I wonder whose merch I would start to buy if that happened.

I'd probably get blue carpet for the house and become a Boise State fan.

Do you suppose he'll pick up recruits at the airport himself?

Chilldress got a LOT of guff during his UW tenure for mind numbing and repetitive game plans that always featured the same weakness. Third and long? Throw it at someone's feet. In fact, no one was more surprised he got an NFL gig than Badger fans when Andy Reid hired him. And people, having elevated Alvarez to Sainthood for the first Rose Bowl win, had to find a target when the offense looked like it wasn't going to evolve (largely because of the strictures Alvarez insisted upon).

But the criticism was also a product of increased expectations. His offense set records in the running game that it took a Heisman Trophy winner to break (Dayne) and a future HC (Chryst) to surpass in the passing game and total points.

So he is a quality coordinator. As a head coach? A lot depends on temperament and ability to recruit and I am not sure about either of those things with Chilldress. I would be concerned if he got the job, but it would be the unknown, not the know, that would keep me up at night.
