So who's the 'coach we couldn't believe was interested'?

[howeda7]

It clearly was not Jerry Kill. Whoever it was, they clearly couldn't close the deal.

Jerry Kill seems like a solid guy, and he'll probably be a solid hire. The problem is not him. It's that at this point in our history we needed more then solid. We needed a HR. And that's what Maturi promised. At worst, it seems we could have had Phil Fulmer or Randy Shannon. They may not have been home runs, but they would have been a lot closer then Jerry Kill. Whether this hire will turn out well remains to be seen. But from a PR and public enthusiasm standpoint, Maturi has failed.

He couldn't believe Mike Grant was stupid enough to state that he'd be interested.

I think at first Maturi was surprised Jerry Kill was interested because we were way out of his league. Then we hired him.

In all seriousness if I had to guess I would say Mullen.

My guess would be Shannon because at that point he was still coaching at Miami.

Why didn't we hire him then?

Petersen and reported buy out issues?

I'd rather have Kill than a guy who has never coached outside the city of Miami. Seriously.

 

[Tricks]

Why didn't we hire him then?

I have no idea. I like Kill more than I like Shannon, however. Shannon did less with more. Kill has done more with less. Shannon probably deserves a second opportunity and he may be successful but it won't be here.
