So Who Is Your First Choice?

Why is nobody talking about Eric Bieniemy? Just curious don't kill the messenger
If we are considering the unproven assistant route for the next hire I would prefer we go a less conventional route and bring in Peyton Manning. He would be my first choice for a hire “outside the box”. Get Arch to transfer as a package deal and bring back Tom Allen to use his buyout payments to focus only on leading the defense. 😂
While not conventional I believe Peyton could do big things even having not coached before. A head coach just needs good connections to recruit great assistants, understands game management, and can lead a locker room. If I were Dolson I would at least try and see if he can be convinced. Like Deion his name recognition may help us out recruit what the program history will bring on its own.
Whichever way we go I hope it’s not Gruden. Though, even if I hate the next hire I will support whoever we bring in and hope I’m proven wrong if it turns out to be a hire I don’t initially like.

Odds of IU hiring Jon Gruden are about the same as hiring Bill Belickick.
Herman sounds kind of like a whiney jerk, looking at stories about him. Don't see where people say he's unethical or sleaze , not like an Urban Meyer, but he has had instances of immature stuff. But hopefully overblown.
He'd be worth a shot IMO because he would be a guy who could bring players in. And sounds like he can coach.

I have heard that he did a lot of undermining Charlie Strong at Texas. Just like Malzahn did Houston Nutt at Arkansas.
Fisher could likely bring some players with him, given that, as has been mentioned, it looks like everybody but the cheerleaders are entering the portal.
Go big. Pay the big bucks. Shock the football world. Don’t be poor little IU anymore. Aim high; shoot high.
One thing it seems abundantly clear, unless we resurrect Lombardi, NO ONE is going to please everyone and maybe not even a majority of people!-
Brian Hartline. OSU offensive coordinator and one of the top recruiters in the country. Well-versed in NIL, which IU is undoubtedly clueless, NFL wideout who gets offense and has developed a few decent receivers in Columbus.
I know this isn’t an answer and possibly an unpopular idea, but is there a Jeff Brohm type of option?
I’d be pleased with Clawson. Have doubts he’d take IU job - there may be better opportunities upcoming.
Mullen would be a home run for IU. Seriously doubt he’d take it.
No reason not to aim high. MUST PAY some big money.
Still… IU is a black hole for head fb coaches. Tough part is finding a really good candidate who will want the job.
There it is. Jamarcus Shephard as the OC. Let me pay these guys, I just need the money.
I actually love the idea of Peyton! Pay him $10-$12 million a year (maybe more) for four years with no buyout. It'll pay for itself.
This thread confirms that our fan base is just as clueless as our athletic department.
Peyton Manning makes more than that to just comment on NFL. Why on earth would he want to take a job that requires him to work 16-hour days, year round?
Better odds that Jon Gruden takes the job. 😂
Jeff Traylor is kind of similar. He coaches UTSA, which is also in Conference USA. He is a few years older than Brohm. He has gone 7-5, 12-2, 11-3, and 8-4 over the past 4 years and lost 2 conference games the past 3 years. He is one of the names thrown out for the Houston coaching search.
Tyson Helton is the current coach at WKU and Brohm's former OC. He is 46. He has won 9 games a few times and has a conference record of 28-11.
I think he is a pretty popular name for any Texas job that comes open. He may be hard to get out of Texas. I'd be fine with him as coach.
