2013 College Football coaching carousel

I think the perfect storm for any program is to have a former player come in and be a successful coach.

Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech is the benchmark that every program would love to duplicate.

 

Does the whole Baptist school thing make recruiting to Baylor problematic?

 

There was this guy at this school in the South for a few decades who might have been a better example.

 

Honest to God, after reading this the first time I wondered why Petrino was going after a radio job.

 

Oh, did he coach Alabama for a few decades?

 

It sure felt like it.

 

Vers sure as shit wishes he would have.

 

I don't think so. Baylor is Baptist like Notre Dame is Catholic or TCU is whatever. That's where the money comes from, but in practice being a student isn't much different than at a state school. Unless you get caught smoking weed or banging a cheerleader. Then the pressure might be for a stiffer punishment.

Now, recruiting at BYU might be a different kettle of fish.

 

Yeah, there have been a few... I was going with a current one...

Obviously, The Bear... Spurrier didn't do too badly at Florida...

 

At Baylor, they now have to promise not to murder their teammates.

 

That only applies to the basketball team though.
