Which B1G West Coach do you want?

[PnkPanther]

I think that Pitt was an orchestrated training job. Barry got him hired with the end game being that he comes back to Wisconsin.

He's a very good fit for Wi, and I wouldn't fault anyone for choosing him. As I said, for me it's a tough list


The only coach I can safely rule out is Lovie

few coaches you are arguing upside/potential over accomplished results

Its tough to imagine anyone doing a better job at a program like Iowa than Ferentz has but if I had to pick someone else I'd go Frost

 

[PnkPanther]

Frost or Brohm. Recruiting is a huge part of college football and these two are the ones who could get it done IMO. Chryst Fitz Fleck and even Ferentz are great but developing what they have, but that's not good enough at a blue blood. If I was a fan of a different school my answer might chsnge

Fleck's a solid recruiter. I'm more worried about his ability to develop talent. At Western Mi he basically he had top class every year in the MAC.

He wont' have top class every year in B1G with Minnesota, but he's getting better recruits than prior regime

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

FINALLY, somebody got the right answer...

All you tards going "Chryst" are basing it off prior records, which OP specifically banned

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Not really. I am matching the coaching style to my favorite team. Chryst is at Wisconsin for the same reason that Frost is at Nebraska. And Fitzgerald is at Northwestern.

Surprising that enlarged lat syndrome is accepted at NU

Also as good as Chryst has been, he's only beaten 4 ranked teams since he's been there (LSU 2016, WMU 2016, NW 2017, Miami 2017).

I think this season is big for him as it's now mostly his guys. Can he win with his own dudes?

It would be nice if our recruiting was better. And it is improving. The 2019 and '20 classes are grading better than what we are used to. It had better be. I want the West to get to East status. 2-3 teams regularly in the Top 15 or so. Then, whoever wins the division doesn't get the "Who did they play" asterisk.

Lot's of people dislike him. I'd mock him if he coached a rival. I don't agree with everything he does, but I think he'll do well in MN.

 

[PnkPanther]

Good luck

Wisconsin wasn't any good at sports until the 90's, so I'm optimistic turn arounds can happen

The guy can flat out recruit. He works the area I live in pretty hard because of his previous MAC connections.

We both had hockey.

Wisconsin had some pretty good football teams back in the 40's and 50's.

Frost and/or Fleck are gonna murder that side of the conference very soon so.. either one of them

 

[iowajerms]

If not Ferentz, I would go with

Chryst - he has that same style that Ferentz uses at Iowa. You can tell his influence by Alvarez, who stemmed from Fry.

Brohm - I like his style but would be interesting how it would work in Iowa. It might be like Bill Callahan at Nebraska. The style just didn't fit. But I like Brohm.

Fitzgerald - Not a fan of coaches who complain about everything, and Pat does that. But I wouldn't mind as much if the team wins. Same with McCaffery with Iowa basketball. His style is quite similar to Iowa's.

Fleck - I like him but he was on the screen too much. I want to see more of him before I really have an opinion.

Frost - Glad BTN didn't have him all over the screen this off-season. But like Fleck, too soon to really have an opinion.

Smith - He has seemed burned out to me. But Illinois is doing better than usual to start the season. But Lovie is really the only only one I would think was not a good hire.

I would say Brohm before Fleck.

 

[TheReal_NU]

I don’t want any of em over Riley, but I’d say Chryst of the ones listed.

Riley is no longer coaching in the B1G West, but I’m sure you could get ol Mr. Nice Guy for a song.
