Cincinnati Bearcats (Juggalos official thread of Faygo)

[CincyInterloper]

He might be in line for a Power 5 job soon, not sure he'd want to toil in faygoville, when he could wait another year and possibly get Texas Tech or something similar. I'm surprised his name hasn't popped up in Houston's search. They aren't power 5, but it's a much better job than the juggalos. Plus, he seems like a natural fit.

I've always thought of Texas Tech as one of the P5 coaching graveyards. Riley is probably better off putting in 3 years at Houston or some other AAC school. That is a more proven path to a top P5 coaching position. Not sure why you think Houston is a "much better" job than Cincy. Without Herman, they are pretty much Cincinnati South.

<edited to add>

Just as some examples to back up my claims, UC provided a stepping stone for 3 head coaches to the P5 (Dantonio, Kelly, and Jones), albeit while we were in the Big East. Last year, Memphis head coach Justin Fuente took a job at Va Tech. This year, the AAC has Taggart from USF reportedly going to Oregon, Rhule from Temple going to Baylor, and Herman from Houston going to Texas. Who has the MAC sent to the P5? Matt Campbell went from Toledo to Iowa State last year. Has anyone else made a move from the MAC to the P5 recently? The smart move for a MAC head coach is to take a HC job in the AAC if it comes along, put in their three years, and then move up. The major P5 programs like to see success as a head coach at more than one place.

I had wondered if there would potentially be any mutual interest between UC and Pelini.

At the rate this search is going I may as well submit my resume. At least I could recruit the hell out of Colerain. Lol

Tim Beckman was hired in 2011 (before the AAC existed) and was an epic fail at a dumpster fire of a program. More of a cautionary tail against hiring straight out of the MAC if you ask me.

I know. I'll just use any excuse to post that picture.

Derrell Hazell, another flameout, has the dubious honor of having the lowest win percentage for a multiple season coach in the program's history at Purdue.

Dino Babers went 4 and 8 his first year. I guess the jury is still out on him.

Well, it is an awesome picture.

You didn't ask for recent successful coaches moving from the MAC to P5.

Like Fickell is starting to pick up steam to UC... That's according to local radio, TIFWIW

Would be interesting to see how much Luke has learned from Urban as a HC. He was thrown into a rotten position in 2011. Remember, back in those days, many people thought Luke could be a future Buckeye HC when Tressel was done if he got an opportunity to cut his teeth at a smaller gig. I can't stand the Juggalos, but that would be a nice place for Luke to gain some experience.

I always leave some wiggle room to change the requirements after the fact in case I get called out on my BS. I was actually kind of surprised how bad they are doing on average.
