Matt Lubick

[VimSince03]

I think Lubick would be huge for us to get. I think if anyone would be likely to retain some/most of the current staff, I think it might him. He has ties to Bozeman, MSU and coaches already on staff. I also think he would recruit the west/west coast well as well as Midwest (Nebraska area). Sounds like we have 3-5 really decent options, but I think Lubick is the one we need.

I mentioned this before but I think the staff that we want to retain could do so on their own resumes. It's not like it would be a pitty hire to retain some guys like BJ, Army, Udy and others. I think whoever Leon goes with will understand how important of a role these guys can play. And if that person thinks he can find someone better than what we currently have, that's better for us too I suppose. Though I can think of 5 guys off the top of my head I really want to stay here, and I think if their given a chance they'll stay here.

I think that's pretty key in all of this. There are players on the committee but if I'm not mistaken there are no assistant coaches. I get that thought process, because you want to leave the door open to the possibility that the new guy might come in with his own guys. I'm assuming everybody wants to stay but I could be wrong. I would imagine they're exploring options amid all the uncertainty.

Totally.

And while I totally get why Leon wants to emphasize retaining much of them, I don't see it as a dealbreaker. He's not going to pass on a top candidate if he loves him but the guy wants to bring in his own staff.

I think some of the guys we really want to stay here will do just that.

I think regardless of the HC, these coaches stay:

- Armstrong (OL)
- BJ (special teams/high school relations)
- Jimmy Beal (RB/recruiting coordinator)
- Bobby Daly (LB/possible DC)
- Byron Hout (DL)

I think Udy (QB/OC), Potter (TE), Frazier (WR/Pass-game coordinator), and Risinger (safeties/corners) are up in the air.

This is just a guess, no inside info.

I think BJ has carved a really nice niche for himself as basically being the mayor of Montana and being the POC for all the HS coaches around the state. I'd imagine he has solidified himself as a guy to keep on staff. Beyond that it's tough to say. I'd obviously love to see them all stick around, but that's not necessarily realistic in the coaching world.

If the new coach doesn't keep BJ on in some capacity we'll really have to question what his recruiting plan is. BJ seems like to most irreplaceable member of the current staff.

Since no assistant coaches are on the committee, I assume they will still have an opportunity to meet and talk to the candidates once they come for on-campus interviews (who knows - maybe they'll zoom?). If I were on the committee, I would be interested to hear their feedback, though I wouldn't promise it would change my opinions. Previous interviews of the finalists included a lot of meetings and presentations to various groups,

I concur.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about Udy. Football wise beyond his years. Selfishly I just wanna see what he’s got!

I wonder if BJ has expressed any desire to be the HC?

[ibleedblue]

Dude makes 500k at Nebraska. I would think he’d be very hard to poach away

He’s interested for a reason.

I mean, the man lives in friggin Nebraska.

True and that was funny. But 500k is 500k. And it goes even further there than here.

Per the Lee Enterprises machine, he's out.

[iaafan]

[lutecat]

This is how they let people save face when they don't get the job. They didn't lose out to someone else. They decided to stay where they are.

I don’t know, I think you’re right about that sometimes but word on the street with this particular one is he was definitely offered the job.

[tagleason]

One of my best friends from HS has a 32 year old(?) son who is the HC for the GB Packers and his brother is the pass game coordinator for the Niners. Those are the young guys we want but of course that ship has sailed. Point being that age should not be a qualifier for a coaching job.

Sean McVay was 30 when he got the job with the Rams. Billy Napier was 28 when he got the job as OC at Clemson. Granted, both of those kids were coaches kids but this bit about age or whether they are "ready" is a crock. Dennis wasn't very old when he got Idaho's job, 32 I think?

Plus he's an old fart now and he was when he went to Utah. Age ought not be an issue. I'm more concerned about the age of the committee members than who will be the next coach.

[3-7-77]

This 'committee' seems to be throwing roadblocks in its own way, requiring the incoming coach to keep anyone(if true). They could have just promoted from within and moved on. National search is a joke. If any candidate knew this requirement up front, would they have actually be interested? Doing anything by committee is a guarantee of failure, so this 'trust the committee' is stupidity. But, it's o.k. with me, YOU ARE THE SCATS, so keep on phucking up. More power to ya. Now it's Up With Montana, Down With the Foe...

The last guy was hired by committee. How many times did the griz beat him?

I assume you're talking about the LaFleur brothers. I'm a big Niner fan and I can tell you that when the 49ers DC was hired away as HC of the Jets a couple weeks ago, he took Mike with him to be the OC. He got a promotion. Just to update you a little.

[tagleason]

Thanks for the update. I haven't talked to his dad for a while so did not know that. GB tried to get Mike as well but sf wouldn't let GB talk to him. I don't know how long you've been a niners fan but you might remember Mariucci. Our families are really good friends for the past several decades. He QB'd NMU to the DII title in 75. Except for an absolutely atrocious call on the last defensive play of the game that handed the game to Akron by putting them in very short fg range they would have played MSU. Uh oh. My oldest brother played FS there. Steve went to to GB to coach qb's where a young guy named Favre showed up. The only thing that kept Mariucci from a career in the NFL was his Flutie syndrome. Small world on some of this stuff blue and gold.

[bobcat99]

The ONLY good thing about GB having two of the best QB’s ever is how little they’ve done with them. May they all rot.

This probably played into Matt's mind, but will Frost be the head coach after next season? So far three seasons in a row he has had a losing record. You have to go back to 1961 for that many losing seasons in a row at Nebraska. Not sure the administration, boosters and fans will tolerate four in a row...
