6. Hugh Freeze, age 52, Currently the head football coach at Liberty (They are currently 7-4) Annual salary: 3 Million. The drawback to him is he was involved in recruiting violations while at Ole Miss. Total Head Coaching Record: 67-42.

7. Dave Doeren, age 50, Currently the head football coach at NC. State (They are currently 8-3) Annual salary: 3.2 Million. Total Head Coaching Record: 86-53

10. Luke Fickell, age 48, Currently the head football coach at Cincinnati (They are currently 11-0) Annual salary: 3.4 Million. Total Head Coaching Record: 52-21. Of all of these on the list, Coach Fickell would be my top choice for Tech to hire. However, he would be the most difficult to agree to come to Tech, too. Schools like LSU would have more money and appeal to lure him. Nevertheless, it could be possible.

11. Jeff Monken, age 54, Currently the head football coach at Army. Annual Salary: $932,521 in 2016. Was a top CPJ Asst during the early years at GT. Monken’s name has been mentioned in openings the past two years at Kansas, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Boston College and Missouri. Total Head Coaching Record:94-58

Why do we insist on doing this garbage? Is there nothing better you could have done on your Sunday? smh
 
Seems like he likes his offense to be physical. Run and play action. Another good recruiter it seems, maybe will help with the TE recruiting. From interviews and press conferences I watched seems knowledgeable.
 
This seems like a good hire. This is better than I expected. I wonder if Key and Choice were involved in the selection?

Don't know about Long - wish him the best - On another note I found these excerpts about Napier as UF coach interesting and he learned them at Bama. If this is the future of CFB then most will not be able to afford it - open your wallet. What is an "analyst" BTW?
New Florida Gators coach Billy Napier plans to hire 'unprecedented' support staff

Napier had close to 40 analysts at Louisiana-Lafayette and could end up with even more in Gainesville. In addition to a $7.5 million annual budget for 10 assistants, Napier got a $5 million pool to build a support staff that includes analysts.

We're going to hire an army of people here," he said. "We're going to create an infrastructure not only in the personnel department but also from an on-campus recruiting, creative media, name, image and likeness. We've got a great vision for the organization that we're going to create here."

Stricklin made it clear he's open to the changes that are coming, no matter the cost. "He gives such a compelling reason to why these things are going to help make the Gators better," Stricklin said.

"We might have to go build some barracks, right?" Stricklin said jokingly.

ULL had 40 analysts!?!? How could they possibly afford that?

I can understand going out and getting Lincoln Riley's understudy, but going to the "Dollar Tree" of Coaching Hires and bringing this guy in is making a cosmetic change to try and pull the wool over the eyes of GT FB Fans.

Maybe some have missed the news. The "Dollar Tree" has been upgraded to the "Dolla and a quarter Tree".

From a ND fansite a bio of Long's time at ND

Energizing the Irish
In his first season of calling plays for the Irish, Long led an offense that averaged 34 points per game and set a new single-season record under the Golden Dome with a running game that ran for over 3,500 yards. In addition, 35 touchdowns scored marked the Irish’s highest total in that category in a quarter-century.

Long continued that success with an Irish team that went undefeated during the 2018 regular season and 31 points per contest, with Long helping to create a more balanced attack. Ian Book took over at quarterback in the Irish’s fourth game ended with him throwing for more than 2,600 yards and 19 touchdowns. At running back, Dexter Williams finished with 995 yards and 13 touchdowns in nine games.

His tenure came to an unceremonious ending following the 2019 regular season. Long and Notre Dame mutually parted ways with Long leaving the Irish without a new role lined up before Notre Dame’s bowl appearance in the Camping World Bowl. He was replaced by Tommy Rees in January 2020.

So it could just be that Brian Kelly is a prick.
