Jeff Jagodzinski is a candidate for the Louisville job

It appears there are conversations with ‘representatives’ of at least three candidates.

Jags would not be my personal preference because I want a long-term coach that does not harbor NFL dreams.

This is getting exciting.

sounds like he’s not much of a people person seeing how he can’t hold down a job….. let’s keep looking; very glad we’re looking to go in a new direction at the head coach spot!

I am just glad we are looking for someone at this point. There is only one direction we can head and that is up.

He was obviously very successful in his only year at BC, but he also dared the AD to fire him. However, not sure you could be any more humbled than saying “F—- you” to the AD and then not getting the job. You’d like to think the guy learned his lesson. We shall see.

He is a guy looking to fix his image/name, and the only way to do that would be to turn the program around.

Hire the Gruden brothers…

Not a fan of this candidate. While I agree everyone is better than Koach… I don’t think Jag is the steady hand that this program needs. Hiring him could be a lose lose situation… Either he does good and he is interviewing all over the country and leaving after a few years and were back at square one or he is as bad as Tampa thinks and we don’t win. All in all, a weathered veteran like Tuberville is the much better choice. With Tommy we get a more long term fix.

Jon, not Jay. Listening to Jon during MNF leads me to believe he is a football genius. I doubt it will happen, but at this point, why not dream big?

On one hand, I am soooo glad to hear even unconfirmed reports that a coaching search has happened behind the scenes. However, and this ties into comming full circle with Tuberville but…

Shouldn’t this stay out of the public eye? It seems a little bit like what Auburn did to Tuberville in flying Petrino down there behind Tuberville’s back. I realize that we haven’t gotten to the point of bringing anyone in to actually interview, but can’t we at least wait until dec, before bowl season when we can make the hire after Krag doesn’t take us to a bowl? Maybe I’m a little naive, but guys like Tuberville, Jags, and anyone else we might look at are probably going to still be available then, and unless you’re going to fire Koach now, it’s not going to give you a huge head start in recruiting. I’d rather have someone like Tuberville then Jags too for what it’s worth. I’m not sure I trust him to stay when the next NFL post opens up.

him or tuberville is who i want to see her. I’ll punch someone if they say Fulmer. Forget that guy. But i do agree with the earlier post that he is a job shopper. Petrino did that to us with Auburn and then the Falcons. Instead of firing Petrino the first time we welcomed him back with open arms, and i still think we would today. But it we got this guy i would expect him to get us back to the top of the Big East then start looking over his shoulder for the next big gig. I want Tuberville. His recruiting contacts in the south and past track record would be perfect for us. Plus… HE’S A NAME. that is what we need to get publicity back on this program and get recruits noticing us again. I don’t think we need the best coach, we need the best known coach, and Tuberville is that guy.

but he looks good in Red & Black :)

Yes, it’s a slow day at the office today…

Hire Jon then put a clause in the contract that he can leave after 3 years and the former U of L QB and Arena Bowl Champ QB and Head Coach Jay can stay at his alma mater and be the head coach. Similar to the Brooks/Phillips and Tiller/Hope arrangement. These brothers can coach and the offense would be like a pinball machine. Jay can teach the QB’s the speed/read/key style used in the arena leagues (think Kurt Warner at St. Louis when they ran up 40-50 points per game). You will get 2 for one and a former record setting alum to boot who gave the ’ville their first winning season in 10 years in 1988. They will recruit Fla, Ga, Al, and Ga to bring the kind of recuits Schnellenberger and Petrino brought in.

Jagodzinski “not equipped” to direct NFL offense

Perhaps there is a more salacious truth out there, but the St. Petersburg Times reports that Jeff Jagodzinski is no longer the Bucs offensive coordinator for a simple reason: he wasn’t ready for the job.

“Jags” had very little experience calling plays, something that Steve Logan normally did for him at Boston College. (Logan is now in Tampa as a running backs coach and will remain there.) The Bucs reportedly grew concerned that Jagodzinski knew how to install a zone blocking running scheme on the team, but not much else.

“Sometime during training camp, it became increasingly apparent to Bucs officials and players, that Jagodzinski was not equipped to install and direct an NFL offense,” writes Rick Stroud.

The team reportedly believed Jagozinski lacked “sophistication” when it came to various aspects of the passing game. Coach Raheem Morris spoke about the decision Thursday.

“Coach Jag came in and I have a lot of respect for him,‘’ Morris said. "But we’re at the point now where we have to be more precise and we need to be more detailed and we need to have more direction to where we’re going to go. And we just didn’t have it right now for whatever reason. That’s about as detailed as I can get on it.’’
