I figured it was time to start the new version of this...

2012 Schedule
April 14: Spring Game
Sept. 1: SE Louisiana
Sept. 8: Georgia
Sept. 15: Arizona State
Sept. 22: at South Carolina
Sept. 29: at Central Florida
Oct. 6: Vanderbilt
Oct. 13: Alabama
Oct. 20: OPEN
Oct. 27: Kentucky*101st HOMECOMING*
Nov. 3: at Florida
Nov. 10: at Tennessee
Nov. 17: Syracuse
Nov. 24: at Texas A&M

Still three games to be released here. I'd expect a mid-major in the Sept. 1 game, a FCS team on Sept. 29, and another mid-major on Nov. 17 (to get a November home game on the schedule).

I'll try to be good about maintaining this, though I've set a ridiculous standard for myself.

I would be surprised if Alden's next coach doesn't have head coaching experience on the college level. And NFL head coach doesn't count.

I've posted it on here before, but I was told back in September - before any sense of Pinkel being in real jeopardy - that Paul Rhoads and Kyle Whittingham were on Pinkel's short list (that he always keeps, just in case - part of being an AD).

I'd expect Charlie Strong and Dan Mullen would get calls. Strong is probably at the top of the list.

Why not Gus Malzhan? He's done a good job at Arkansas St. and has ties to the SEC.

[KChiefs1]

Is it true that Pinkel is resigning?

[NewChief]

John L. Smith needs a job.


In all seriousness, character issues or not, someone would be nuts not to pick up Bobby Petrino. I just hope it isn't in the SEC, because I don't want to have to play him.

Would make things interesting for DGB.

I suggested this in a Saturday night rant.

[KChiefs1]

Petrino would be a great replacement for Pinkel.

[duncan_idaho]

Mizzou is not going to touch Bobby Petrino.

1) He's a slimeball, and Alden won't hire a slimeball.
2) He's a huge risk, because of the chances that he will either do something shady off field that forces you to fire him or jump the first time another school shows some leg (and more cash). Mizzou is not a program that can afford having that much head coach turnover over a few years.
3) Auburn is going to back up the Brinks truck and dump way more cash than Mizzou is going to spend on Bobby Petrino.
4) Petrino, while a brilliant offensive mind and great playcaller, is not a tremendous recruiter (no better than Pinkel's staff) or defensive coach.

As for Gus Malzahn... that one definitely is interesting, and I'd like to see him considered.

Charismatic, shitty NFL coaches make pretty good college coaches. Del Rio in college might just be Dave Wannstedt at Pitt.

Doubtful. But there's smoke.

Why not Herm?

Herm would be an outstanding HC on the West Coast. Think PC-led USC.

[Reaper16]

Herm can recruit and coach in the SEC.

[Dr. Gigglepants]

Malzahn would be interesting, seems like a really smart guy. Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas are looking for coaches right now, that is a lot of competition.

If Mizzou wants to compete in the SEC they will have to shell out top dollar for a top notch coach. If they were never serious about it then we will watch other teams sign the hot coaching prospects.

[NewChief]

Malzahn has done nothing but win everywhere he's gone. The guy is a stud. I'd hate to see him go to Mizzou, but I don't know if Arkansas is going to offer him a contract. He pretty divisive in the state unfortunately.
