And, while you're at it, at what school would you have this fellow coaching?

I voted other.

I would hire Mark Richt who is likely on his way out at Georgia. Mark Richt is still a young coach with good years left under his belt.

Now, hold on! :lol: I think Dabo Swinney is doing a respectable job. Give him some time. Or, are you trying to just unload Johnson?!

If, though, he made his way to Ole Miss, I don't think he would succeed any better than any of the last few guys. I'm just not sold on Mark Richt anymore. If I was an Ole Miss supporter, and I could pick from some coaches, I'd go after Terry Bowden (I know, I know but name me anyone with a better record of coming out of the chute faster than this guy does, i.e, Samford, Auburn and UNA), Charlie Strong (but, y'all would HAVE to quit yelling about the South rising again --- stick to Hotty Totty), or even a guy like John Chavis. Phil Fulmer is also a guy who could succeed at Ole Miss, I think. All just IMO.

Hold on a minute. I'm not ready to get rid of Houston. :) I believe we have a good coach who will consistently lead us to bowl games. I just really like Mark Richt. He has a Christian testimony, and will make someone a good coach.

Well, I hope OM fans hang with Nutt. He's a fine coach.

I voted other, Les Myles to the school up North. Two reason, I want to see Rich Rod fired, and they will go after a "Bo" guy.

One website speculates Michigan will pursue UM former QB Jim Harbaugh. They'd be better off, IMO, all the way around with him or Miles.

Neither Tim. I just think they would be good fits. I like Johnson though I think he has made some poor choices this season but those choices may turn out for the good next season.

Do you have to like a coach to want him. Rich Rod. is a great coach with a character people question and a personality that seems to rub many the wrong way. He will make Michigan a winner if they give him 2 more years.
Which would you rather have, Mark Richt who has impeccable character and a warm personality but who wins only (?) 70% of his games or would you rather have a Rich Rodriguez who will win 90% and possibly a national title? As a fan of the institution where they are going to coach, which would you rather have?

No you do not have to like a coach to want him. I like Bill Stewart, but I do not like the fact that he is the coach at WVU. I don't think Rich Rod will win if you give him 5 more years at the school up north. His offense is to predictable. He has never had a good defense. Bill Stewart has an impeccable reputation as a coach. But he is not a coach you can win with.

Bill Stewart = Mike Shula. Great football knowledge, wonderful person. Not a head football coach to win with.
