Worthy of consideration. Not sure if he'll ever leave the Big 12, but TCU is the most improved offense in the country, and Texas Tech has fallen apart since his departure. He's only 33, but there's evidence to suggest his future is extremely bright.John Montaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204266351752529227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-40801810338713720012014-11-10T10:45:51.764-05:002014-11-10T10:45:51.764-05:00Great comment, thanks for posting!Great comment, thanks for posting!Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869729336896907071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-58540497158705243502014-11-10T10:20:03.180-05:002014-11-10T10:20:03.180-05:00The more I look at it, the more I think Tom Herman...The more I look at it, the more I think Tom Herman might be a particularly good fit. I know you have him on the list, but his name doesn't seem to be getting much, if any, discussion here or elsehwere. He's 39, seems like a really smart (literally, a Mensa member), well-spoken guy, and gives off the same kind of class vibe that UVA likes and that you see with Bennett, O'Connor, etc. He's got a very successful offensive system - a no-huddle, spread "Jet" offense. He's been at Ohio State for the last three years under Urban Meyer. Another key factor: He also was OC/QB at Rice, where ran top 10 national offenses in a high-academic environment. Things I've read suggest he's one of those top assistants who is "ready to run a program," which could mean nothing, but I take to mean that he's considered well prepared for the management aspects of the job, not just for calling plays. I believe he's also considered a good recruiter. He really seems to check off just about every box I can think of and just feels like someone who would fit into UVA's preferred mold.Midlohoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-89516434146791282662014-11-05T12:24:13.673-05:002014-11-05T12:24:13.673-05:00Great list K.

Dooley is a really smart guy with experience in administration (was AD at LaTech) and some good connections in the coaching world. From WRs coach with the Cowboys to HC at UVA is too big of a jump right now. I do like Dooley, though.Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869729336896907071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-80269560305823701192014-11-02T16:55:36.061-05:002014-11-02T16:55:36.061-05:00Uhhh noUhhh noAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-23958277225283456582014-11-02T13:44:07.398-05:002014-11-02T13:44:07.398-05:00Brian Kelly of ND is coming to UVA... he is coming...Brian Kelly of ND is coming to UVA... he is coming as head coach of ND next season to kick the snot out of a no talent program like UVA... and I will be there...

By that I mean gaga for some flavor-of-the-month offensive coach who'll have us running track meets but fields a D that can't stop the grandma's home all-stars in 2 years. London was a reactionary hire b/c the administration wanted an "enthusiastic" coach to counter the all-business Groh. Gillen was a reactionary hire to the brutal style of ball Jeff Jones played. Bennett was a successful hire because the administration *took its time,* thought outside the box, and got the best coach it could find who still meshed with the school's values. Styles change as the game evolves over the years (also style depends on the types of athletes you can realistically recruit). We need to find the best coach we can, let him assemble a good staff and recruit the right players to do what they want to do, and then go out and play sounder football on gameday. We can and will do better than what we've seen the last six or seven years, I know it.
