Jeez! Make me work at it....

Rob Chudzinski - AMAZING TEs coach who was also OC at Miami (Hurricanes not Dolphins) and Cleveland and now Panthers

Winston Moss - Green Bay assistant head coach/inside linebackers talked about a lot but very unproven

Perry Fewell - DC of the Giants, interim head coach of the Bills at one point... also talked about a lot... I'm not sold on him at this point... but he is definitely someone to be considered

Dirk Koetter - OC of the Jags. Former head coach at Boise St and Arizona St. He has done really well in Jacksonville given what he has had to work with.

Pat Fitzgerald - Head coach at Northwestern. YOUNG (37) Routinely gets great production out of some of the WORST recruiting classes in the Big 10 (not his fault.. NW has very high academic standards and is in Chicago.. who the hell would want to go there.. it's a good school but you couldn't have PAID me to go there) His teams out perform their talent level and he has put a number of players into the NFL.

Chudzinski and maybe Moss.

Fewell no thanks.

Koetter sucked at ASU

Fitzgerald I don't think his team is even bowl eligible.

Did you even read what I wrote? MOST people who follow college coaching closely will agree that Fitzgerald is one of the best there is right now. He has ZERO to work with, yet gets production out of them... THAT is what makes a great coach. He's like a young Bill Snyder. You aren't going to win a national championship with the talent you get at Northwestern.

I'm guessing that this is your first year to pay any attention to the Big Ten at all. Those of us who follow it closely know how good Pat Fitzgerald is.

Oh and didn't Pat take a MUCH less talented Wildcat team to Lincoln and beat your boys?

You can't say he isn't a great coach just because he has Div II talent but has to play in the Big 10.

Young Bill Snyder

Because I don't agree with you must mean I didn't follow Big Ten football til this year *dismissive jerk off motion*. Gary Barnett didn't have much at Northwestern and took them to the Rose Bowl. Sure as **** didn't mean he was an NFL coach neither is Fitzgerald.

Northwestern beating Nebraska had nothing to do with Fitzgearld you must not have followed them until the last few weeks. Persa wasn't doing much got injured and then Cain Coulter came in and moved the ball but it wasn't like Nebraska was playing inspired.

Might as well put Paul Rhodes on your list then too.

Wow, I am normally not so dismissive.. but you REALLY don't know jack shit about this. I can find you dozens of articles talking about how great a coach Pat Fitz is. Your example of Barnett is a piss poor stupid one.. Barnett WAS considered a great NFL coaching candidate until all the scandal.

You really are talking out of your ass on this one...

Also, I'm not sure what you are laughing at with the young Bill Snyder reference.. are you saying that reference is unfounded or are you claiming Snyder isn't a great coach and someone to which you hold other people up to for comparisons?

Paul Rhodes may eventually be on that level... he is currently a big ? BUT he has an advantage over Fitz... he can recruit morons... the academic standards at ISU are not even in the same BALLPARK as NW.

You are failing to realize how amazingly hard it is to make a team like NW competitive... you may as well try to get Dartmouth or Cornell to be relevant.

We're talking about the coach that lost 5 games in a row this year and hasn't won a bowl game right? Yeah I'd love to see an NFL team hire Pat Fitzgerald.
