If Tressel retired today, who would you want to replace him?

I like Fickell a lot. He is young but the players really respect him and he is a good coach. If we could have anyone outside the program, I would want Pete Carroll. I know many won't agree with me but he does have a great personality and connects with the players.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind Glen Mason.

Rush for 1,500 yards at Minnesota? *yawn*
Rush for 1,500 yards at Ohio State? Hello, Heisman!

Mason has the ties, the track record, and the desire. Hell, he beat Michigan last year at Michigan, and damn near beat Ohio State too. I know Minnesota has some fine athletes, but if you put any stock in recruiting services, talent evaluation, etc ... his teams shouldn't have even been in those ball games.

I think he could win if he had the recruiting muscle and facilities behind him, and he will never, ever get that in Minnesota.

I don't think Fickell is ready to be a HC yet...give him about five years as DC and/or Asst HC and then he'd be ready. If any of our younger coaches would be ready to step in as HC, it would be Hazell.

Carroll, Stoops, Mason, and even Randy Walker would be good choices.
