Who's our Millen type candidate?
I was thinking back to when the Ford's hired Matt Millen with zero experience to run the LIons. Remember when Izzo expressed some interest in being the football coach? Just for fun who would you like DB to talk to who has limited/no experience that would be an interesting candidate? I'm not suggesting this but would be interested in speculation of off the wall candidates.
My choice would be Chris Spielman - yes a hated buckeye, but Moeller was an OSU captain and Bo coached there. Ton of passion, understands the rivalry and would probably be a terrible choice like Millen, but fun to speculate about.

obviously.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:26 AM ^
Dan Dierdorf... or Lucy Liu. She'd be a hell of a recruiter.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:25 AM ^
Pay homage now or prepare yourself for the day of reckoning!
January 9th, 2011 at 11:53 AM ^
agrees with you. It was either Harbaugh or Miles from the get go. I've heard of some waffling on DB's part, but the way the updates have been leaking with the MSM it appears the deal is taking shape. We'll know quite soon.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:27 AM ^
... when you can get two?
January 9th, 2011 at 11:27 AM ^
Elvis Grbac, natch.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:36 AM ^
I hate Ohio State.
How about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Just think about Drew Sharp asking Arnold a question.....Ohh the possibilities.
He could also be our possible Strength coach....No Dianabol though.

Your going to fun to have around.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:34 AM ^
Maybe that is what he and DB have really been talking about.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:34 AM ^
Dave Brandon
January 9th, 2011 at 11:36 AM ^
Cobrani Mixon. Yes he transferred away but yes he wants back. To coach. With an OC of Mister Simpson.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
Kelly Baraka will be put in charge of the S&C program (gotta get the kids hungry to eat all those pizzas) and Marques Slocum's Fuck Lion will call the defensive plays.

Millen.
Not that Millen, but Hugh Millen.
Extremely bright, understands football and is very passionate.Have years and years of experience in NFL and have been a local Seattle radio analyst since then.
His father went to Michigan and Hugh has always said his second favorite team is Michigan (obviously, his alma mater, UW, is first, but loves Michigan).
Never became a football coach because he didn't want to pay the dues (i.e. toiling as assistant for a decade or so). But I believe he would make a great coach if given a chance. He would probably also come as a package with his best friend - Jim Mora.
January 9th, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
Eesh, you had me up until Jim Mora. Frankly, he's a decent coach, but I don't think he has a very favorable opinion of a playoff system...
January 9th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
I thought you were referring to Matt Millen's younger brother Hugh, not Hugh Millen the NFL player, which was entertaining.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:47 AM ^
HC - James Earl Jones
<br>OC - Mike Wallace
<br>DC - David Alan Grier
<br>ST - Barry Larkin
<br>Head Trainer - Sanjay Gupta
<br>
<br>Obviously...this is a ridiculous suggestion. Everyone knows David Alan Grier prefers to coach the Offense.
<br>
<br>Get on it DB!
January 9th, 2011 at 11:48 AM ^
I'm all in for the Coner!
January 9th, 2011 at 11:49 AM ^
Would be catastrophic.
That said, if we're looking for ridiculous, barely plausible candidates, how about Ron Zook?
January 9th, 2011 at 11:50 AM ^
would be epic!
January 9th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
Jim Herrmann?

I won the MNC 10 years in a row with North Texas on NCAA '07 before they randomly fired me right after winning another MNC. That's got to be worth something right?

January 9th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
...Jimmy Johnson.
And you think Les Miles sleeping with every woman around would be bad? Jimmy has what I can only assume is a free, never-ending supply of male enhancement product:
January 9th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
He'd understand the rivalry better than anyone right? I mean he DOES own the rushing record against the Buckeyes after all so that qualifies him.
BTW, what the hell has he been up to the past few years? Anyone actually know?
January 9th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
The last I heard he owns and manages a couple of McDonald's in Florida.
January 9th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
according to Wikipedia, he owns two Bojangles restaurants in Georgia, and failed in his Nathan's Hot Dogs venture.

Clint Eastwood or Walt Kowalski

Perfect combination with Barwis.
January 9th, 2011 at 1:38 PM ^
January 9th, 2011 at 1:38 PM ^
I thought we had our Millen candidate, at least insofar as the Big Ten was concerned!
January 9th, 2011 at 1:44 PM ^
Got a lot done with limited talent in Little Giants, which could be a valuable skill given the likely state of recruiting. Did well in the rivalry game. Has that bit of a sad sack look that will remind folks of Lloyd Carr, which should help with the alums.

We won the games last season that he was in town for.
