In preseason Baylor was picked to beat UCF & Iowa St., so while getting rid of low energy Amanda and putting some excitement back into the team with Klanderman is great. Picking a real HC means waiting to see how the rest of the season goes.
Definitely interview him but think long term not picking the hot guy or flashy prospect.

Don't wait for the season to end, give him a 3 year deal laden with incentives. If we wait, we may lose him.
2 games, 4 press conferences in and It would not hurt my feelings at all if he was named head coach.
He's hitting on all the right points.. spot on. Really a complete indictment on Dave but in an extremely classy way.
If he wins 2 of the next 3 AND Doug is confident in his talent evaluation of both players and coaches I wouldn't be opposed.

I think to keep it simple, if Klanderman is the guy, we will know it after three more games. Doesn't necessarily have to run the table, but just keep Baylor looking like they can knock heads with the best of the conference.
it definitely seems like a stark contrast from Baylor football of the past several years.

Let's see what the next 3 weeks bring. Maybe not all wins,
but good competition. (hopefully)
I don't see many schools looking at the Klan-man right now for
HC. Now come Dec. 1, maybe a few might find some interest.

I'm kind of past the point of the eyeball test. If he loses these next three, it's a definite no for me regardless of how close it is or whatever
After 2 games I would lean that way. But let's wait a few more games and see how he does against the gauntlet we have coming up.
Maybe it's just me…. But it's just refreshing to have a guy that sounds like …,,,… a friggin FOOTBALL COACH!
If he wins out it will be too late to retain him. Someone else will grab him. We aren't going to do much better. We should lock him up.

Give him a 10 year extension now with guarantee

That is certainly a possibility. I'd say watch one more game and see how we do at BYU... win or lose. If we lose and are still competing in the 4th quarter, give it to him.

Reality has to hit a fanbase at some point.
After the wild ride we've been on these past few weeks, the fact that we're bowl eligible and still legitimately in the hunt for the Big XII title should tell you all you need to know.
We're playing with house money at this point, fellas.
If we miraculously win out and make it to Arlington, all the better (no one was even thinking of a possible championship opportunity after the Kansas loss).
But I wouldn't base hiring Coach K on whether we win our final 3 games (or even 2 of 3).
Like many on here have said, just be competitive each week and continue to improve.
Learn from your mistakes. Make adjustments. Get better.
I like what I've seen from the guy already. And he's just going to get better from here on out.
Plus, you likely retain your staff and players by keeping him at this point (instead of risking a complete turnover of personnel and a possible rebuild altogether).
This is a long-term hire we're about to make, and should not be a heat-of-the-moment one based on whether we beat BYU next week.
Think big picture: We want to stay competitive and in the title picture EVERY year moving forward.
He's got this group believing in themselves, and it's likely they'd run through a wall for him at this point.
Coaches like that don't come around very often.
Personally, I've seen enough.
Might as well lock up him up now - before somebody else does.

I hate that the last two years we have more basketball players who are new to the program than played last year. This team looks fantastic. My point?
I'd love Klanderman to stabilize the program and keep our good players. I hope Drew is doing the same. I don't just root for our university. I root for our students and athletes.
I hope Klanderman grows into a championship coach HERE.

Sure...long term contract is the answer. That is what gave us the past several years. Wait a few weeks and if he deserves one give him a contact with incentives to make more. I would never give any coach anywhere anytime a long-term contract. The kiss of death.

If Baylor beats BYU, give Klan a 3 yr contract.
BU should definitely keep retaining Klanderman as HC under consideration until the end of the season. I think Klanderman would consider keeping Spavital if he would be willing to stay. A three year deal for each might keep both of them. We'll know by the end of the Houston game if there is something to this.
Baylor may have its best option right under its nose.

A lot of you are adopting the attitude you criticized Mack for having regarding Aranda's extension.

This
10 year deal was sarcasm. No one is getting a 10 year deal.
If he wins out I think he is in consideration. But otherwise we need a proven head coach. Running a program is different than winning 2 games with superior talent you only played a moderate role in obtaining.

The problem again is that hiring an experienced HC conflicts with the time it will take to really evaluate Klanderman. So it is kind of do one or the other for all practical purposes. I don't think we should pass on most of the names floating here if they can be lined up.
Now if we are down to Kittly and or Kinney then may as well go Klanderman. I would support him above those. If it is down to that though it means we have a problem at AD. I would also hope we don't go with Klanderman again because the AD is inexperienced and Klanderman has done enough to rescue what behind the scenes could be some Stanton era type botched search behind the scenes.

Unless we're talking about proven coaches at the highest of levels (like your Nick Saban's and your Dabo Swinney's), then you can absolutely pass up on ALL of the names mentioned up to this point, as they're all risky gambles and not sure bets.
At least with Coach K, we already have a good idea of what we'd potentially be getting in a program leader, and he's already getting buy-in from much of the fanbase (and most importantly, the team) at this point.
By hiring Coach K, you immediately stabilize the program and keep most of your key pieces in place (this is not a 'Jim Grobe type of situation' playing out here).
If you go with someone else, you're potentially sacrificing all of that. And for a MAYBE at that.
Besides - Anybody who can have that defense looking stellar after last year dang near has my vote before we even get into the other stuff.

Tru' dat!
Our search has already begun. We may have someone just about signed up. These searches don't begin after the final game these days. Just to name a few I do not think Dickert or Eck are a bigger gamble than Klanderman. You have to admit there are less risky candidates who have been thrown around. If one of them is almost a done deal, you don't hypothetically call them on Monday and back out for Klanderman especially based on two games.

All good points. A fallacy of Baylor fans is BU is a school/team that Top Tier HC candidates would melt to come to Baylor. Not so.
Nobody gets hired without an official secret personal interview at Dairy Queen.
It's still open.

Maybe but a more common fallacy I see is we are a poor sad sack program lucky to have a coordinator or G4 coach willing to take the job.
We compete, we win. We are Baylor. Baylor is an amazing school and a great coaching job.
Truth is in the middle maybe but I think lots of coaches would want this job.
