Wilky, who is on your shortlist? This is not a challenge in any way, I legitimately am curious and interested in who you think would be good. If you don't have name(s), that perfectly fair too.

I agree about Harsin, there's just not enough there for me to have the confidence in his ability to make us a winner. I don't know enough about the others to have a comment.

I honestly thought that it was a weird list. There are five guys that I think Oregon State would be stupid to hire and two decent suggestions.

Bloomgren is decent, but I don't think that he'd work out in Corvallis. And if he did, he would not be here long.

Tee Martin has great upside, but he does not have any ties to the West Coast outside of California. And our hires from USC have been mixed in the past.

I have posted suggestions elsewhere. I am intrigued by Smitty. I think we would be dumb not to consider a guy like Rocky Long, who has an excellent track record and Corvallis ties. Beau Baldwin is going to be a great coach at the FBS level soon and has northwest ties. He might as well be a great coach here. Norm Chow has tremendous upside and is not doing much of anything. I still think that a Jeff Tedford would be a great hire. A Brady Hoke would not be ideal but might not terrible.

I like the idea of Beau Baldwin, particularly after he gets a year of P12 experience at Cal. The guy knows how to coach quarterbacks. Looks we agree on Smitty as well. I hadn't thought of Tedford, that would be intriguing...
