Seriously now…
Rhett Lashlee of SMU, currently ranked AP #23, or Jake Dickert at Wake Forest, currently ranked AP #17. Both know that they will end up in a lesser ACC leftover conference after 2030 realignments are announced in 2027/28. So this will be an opportunity to get out before the ACC drops in status along with their funding resources.
Just being ranked is a rather low bar.
I know of Lashlee, but is he a good coach or are they just buying players? I don't know much about Dickert.
Has either won a conference title? Are their teams consistently good?
Lashlee is a great coach and a great culture fit. We should 100% hire him if he would come, but I don't he will unless he decides he wants to build something at a true Christian university,.
Some people have argued that Baylor has become woke and is no longer a "true" Christian university. Obviously, that's very debatable.
It's not at all debatable. Livingston is a far-left Marxist loon and Baylor is most definitely "woke". We're barely more Christian than TCU at this point.
You really shouldn't use words you don't know the meaning of. It makes you look stupid.
F*** you. You're one of the resident far-left loons on this board as it is, so of course you would defend Livingston.

Handle checks out.
Baylor is finally open and the Bears should be one of the more attractive openings this cycle. That means a deep candidate pool with established P4 head coaches, rising G6 stars and a host of high upside coordinators. https://t.co/jKYITdaIIS

What do we know about Eck? I'm too lazy to look it up
He's a great coach, but he comes out of the Big Ten tree and is likely destined to return there.
I think we need a paradigm shift where we start accepting that we may be a steppingstone to the Big Ten and SEC. We simply cannot compete with them financially. I think a head coach with a little ambition is generally a good thing.
I don't think there will be any stepping stone with Eck. That's my point. He'll go straight from New Mexico to the Big Ten IMO like Cignetti and Chesney did.

Correct. Before Cody Campbell and friends, back when their talent was similar to ours, I recall Dave going into Texas Tech and beating them pretty badly. If Dave beats you badly, you did something really wrong. That's all I'm saying

Maybe, maybe not. Hard to tell with the state of being fluxed up that college football is today. What Joey will always bring is that chip-on-the-shoulder, spit-in-your-face, south Fort Worth attitude to the program. The Davids of the college football world, like Baylor, will ALWAYS need that.

If he's not getting it done at a big 12 program with top-tier resources, why would it work at Baylor with average resources? Genuinely curious

He may be available soon. Scathing article about him in SI after trojans got clobbered by Wisconsin.

Why would we want Lincoln Riley? I've never been overly impressed with him.
I wouldn't mind Brown as a fallback, but I agree on the other two.Youre a clown said:boognish_bear said:Baylor head coach replacements

Stoops, Neal Brown, and the Houston offensive coordinator would all make me depressed. Surely we can do better than that. The other names on that list are solid
I'm aware. But as a head coach, he went straight from G5 (James Madison) to the Big Ten. There was no stepping stone in between.AC/DC said:bear2be2 said:Youre a clown said:bear2be2 said:jikespingleton said:

Cignetti was on 2009 Bama staff under Saban.
Another plus for Traylor IMO is his age. We worry about some younger ladder climber who'd leave quickly (a la Rhule) instead of building a strong program. I think Traylor would be happy/satisfied at Baylor the rest of his career given a successful tenure.Bearsalways said:
Need someone with Texas HS ties, Christian, culture builder, and a proven HC. Also, someone who won't be looking for the next best thing.
There's one man that fits this mold better than anyone else.
Baylor don't mess this up.
