Yeah, it's my opinion. With all fairness to Baldwin, he hasn't really proven anything as a Head Coach of an FBS team and he's not blowing the doors off as a coordinator in his first season but he has won in FCS (Not as an FBS HC). Yet my biggest concern with Baldwin is what assistant coaches he would hire and recruiting. No doubt the guy has won where he was (hasn't really been any other places besides EWU has he?) but that's FCS. It takes more to build an entire program than just being a bright offensive mind at the FCS level. The rest of the guys that I mentioned are not guys that I feel would help the program right away and/or in the long run.
No on Chip Kelly as well. Personal experience, there is a reason why the last couple of places he has been, he has not gotten along with people in the organization. The guy has no personal or social skills whatsoever! Arrogant as hell too!
I like Tedford a lot but understand if we missed our opportunity with him in the last go 'round. Norvell seems intriguing . A guy that I also think is the most risky of these 3 but could have a lot of upside is Jeff Brohm. But, it ain't up to me!
Either way, whoever gets hired, half this board is going to hate the hire while the other half defends it at all costs (my prediction). I'm behind whoever they hire, as I was when they hired Andersen for the first couple of years and up until early this season. I won't watch triple option football though!
Again, my takes! As relevant and probably as realistic as anyone else at this point so.....
Go Beavs!
Is that what we ultimately want? right now, yes it is. It is sad to say, we need to get back to where we were all unsatisfied with before, so we can talk... AGAIN... about taking the next step.
But I am not opposed to rolling the dice. particularly if it can save us a some money that we can parlay into the stadium improvement or something else that generates EXCITEMENT about OSU and gets recruits looking our way. we are going to need it.
CGA killed this program so hard it is almost unfathomable.
Hire Tedford. i am okay with it.
Hire Baldwin, I am okay with it.
Hire Hall... I am choosing the drink the kool aid and ignore the red flags and I will be okay with it through mental effort. Exactly same opinion of Jonathan Smith... I will choose to BELIEVE!
Hire McElwain, I might never watch a game. Hire Bo Pelini I will DEFINITELY not watch a game.
Hire the Weasel... eh, whatever. I will deal with it.
Hire Chip Kelly... I will die laughing and love the Oregon meltdown.
Norvell? eh, sure why not.
That is my summary opinion of the matter.
