You could entice a position coach at a major program (out West) with experience to take a cut in pay to be the head coach of a stellar program like the Griz. They make around $200,000 depending on experience. I believe that is what the new Weber coach made and took a cut to be a head coach. They can bring a lot of good coaching ideas with them that the bigger programs use. Plus they have recruiting experience with good athletes.

The Next Head Coach: the Real Discussion

Myopia rules!.. Once again it's the same old tiresome list of suspects - half of whom have passed on to bigger things never to return and the other half nice guys who wouldn't bring much to the job. I expect Ezo Naranche's or Wild Bill Kelly's name to pop up on egriz any day now. Being deceased shouldn't keep an able candidate out of the discussion...

Right idea... AND you're close with the #1 pick. He's not a coach in this conference.
You won't know his answer until after his team is out of the playoffs

It is kind of funny since Wahlberg already knows
I think that Hauck and Kramer should be off the list. Hauck left a lot of trouble here that caught up with us and got us where we are now. I was in school at MSU while Kramer was there and he ran a shit show. Rapes murders drugs coaches selling meth... Good character will go far for the long term. We don't want more problems.

The head coach is a hands on CEO of the football team. Business management skills and talents are as important as football knowledge. Whom ever is selected has to be able to successfully handle all the out of sight off field business that most fans do not see. The on field coaching is the glamour part the other what determines the long term success of the program. (Both together). This is why not all great players become successful head coaches. Pressure is high for all coaches to run clean programs now. U of M is an even more high pressure job. DD said a couple of years ago it would be to high stress on his family for him to come back here to coach.
This should get real interesting. I hope we don't rush this too much. Sooner better to help recruiting but we want someone who wants to stay for a while.

It would be worth looking at Ron Roberts, head coach at Southeastern Louisiana. He inherited a 3-8 team three years ago, and is now about to wrap up his 2nd consecutive conference title. Last year he took them to the FCS quarterfinals; this all at a school with no history and a smaller athletics budget than any school in the Big Sky Conference. Before SELU, he spent 5 years as the head coach at D-II Delta State, compiling a 47-16 record with four conference championships and a national title game appearance.
No UM connection, but he's from the West Coast, and would be able to recruit Texas as well from his coaching connections there.
I have no idea whether he runs an exciting style of offense.
