I propose that on this thread, each response be a list of the three prospective coaches in order that the fan believes would be (a) the best selection and (b) be available for the position.
My choices:
(1) Paul Johnson (current Georgia Tech coach)
(2) Troy Calhoun (current Air Force coach)
(3) Mike Riley (current Nebraska coach)
Thanks for participating!
Go Beavers! (1) Bill Snyder (2) Frank Solich (3) Rocky Long (4) Bud Ossey (5) Abe Vigoda
Abe runs a bad ass offense: The Vigoda Veer!

DA might have the makings of a good QB coach. He's played the position for several coaches and systems, and mentoring Cam Newton doesn't hurt his resume.

I honestly think he could also, if he actually worked towards it. Everything I know of him is he is lazy and isn't really driven, which is why he has settled as a backup most of his career. I wouldn't mind taking him as a QB coach if he was ready to retire though (he could probably last 3-4 more years as a backup). Just like I think Manning would make a great coach and bring in a ton of money. Papa John's could then become our official pizza sponsor!

Right! He is so lazy that he has been able to be one of the 1/100 of the 1% who are talented and driven enough to play professional football and do it for many years.

I guess sitting on a bench and playing golf all week can be considered playing football. He isn't a bad person, and he has really good natural talent, but he just doesn't have the drive to actually play. Which is actually smart of him since it's saving his head. I know someone who plays golf with him all the time, including during the season, and he is a good guy, but doesn't have the drive to improve his game at all or be a starter. For instance, the offseason after he was the Browns QB, instead of training and trying to become a better player, he spent the entire time partying, playing golf, and just having a good time. He has also turned down multiple opportunities to be a starter to continue to be a backup and pick up his $5 million or so a year to throw a couple of picks a year when Cam has to leave a game.

Yep, the guys a real slacker by lasting 13 NFL seasons, throwing for more than 10,000 yards, and making a Pro Bowl. He's played in 74 NFL games, how many have you been in? He's averaging almost 6 games played and 800 yards passing per season at a position that has a high injury rate and a limited lifespan. With 60 TD's and 60 INT's he's a high risk - high reward QB and always has been. No reason to be so negative, he's one of the best to ever wear a Beaver uniform.

There was at least an article or two over the years that I read coming out of the Panthers camp about DA's near legendary work ethic, and I don't think they were being sarcastic at all. Wisehnut at Arizona brought up DA's work ethic at Arizona a couple different times, even while chastizing him about other things... "works hard, studies hard" and such. As far as his "couple picks a year" thing goes, until last year DA lead the league in number of seasons played without throwing a pick. Granted he didn't play a lot, but until the 5 he threw last season he hadn't thrown a pick since the 2010 season.

Granted he didn't play a lot, but until the 5 he threw last season he hadn't thrown a pick since the 2010 season. I like DA, and I think he is a good QB, I just think he could have had a much better career if he wanted to. With the picks, I guess for Carolina it was just last year when he started a couple of games and he was pretty solid in 2014 when he had 2 starts then. The years that I know he did slack off in were 2008 and 2009, right after he made the Pro Bowl and thought he could just coast instead of continuing to work hard and improve. Being as amazing as he was in 2007 with the Browns, he should have been able to improve on that season, especially with Arizona and how talented that team was. He also decided to not work hard enough to be a starter in the league the year after he failed with Arizona. I really do like the guy and I have always cheered for him, he just didn't take the steps I thought he could be with his talent level to be one of the top QB's in the league. The part about him being lazy is coming from one of his good friends that I'm friends with, who told me before that he spends more time playing golf than practicing as a QB, and he has since after his Pro Bowl season. Edited: Another thing, I am serious where I think he would make a great coach. He is a smart guy, and a really good person who the players could also relate to. He knows football and would help us out also. I think he could make a good QB coach, and maybe even an OC at this point.

Don't think OSU has a shot at the first two.
Under no circumstances should OSU hire Neuheisel. Cannot believe people here are touting him. Would rather roll the dice with Hall or Smith and I don't think those would be good choices.
