Agree. I think Monken is ready for something new. He accomplished some great things at Army like beating Navy, giving OU a run in Norman, pushing Michigan to OT. He is ready now, I think.

I have also read that he has said if he would move to P5 that he would run more of a spread offense. Mixed feelings on that. I don't want the option, but I think he would need some major help to play a spread.

I've heard that as well. He's going to have option concepts though to his offense. He's been involved in an option offense for like 25 years. That won't go away, but he knows he won't be able to get guys here if he runs a triple-option offense.

It sounds like if Monken were to take a power 5 job, he'd run option concepts similar to Fritz at Tulane or Chadwell at Coastal Carolina.

Coastal is the perfect comparison. They run an option-based spread offense. They can go 4 wide, but still run option down your throat and dominate TOP, and they don't even have the biggest OL in the world either. Bunch of undersized guys who get leverage.

You can recruit with the full amount of schollies. This staff is actually pretty good. More importantly the back end resembles a P5 program and all levels of senior administration are backing football for success. If you can drop off the bag in the 2 million range the HC that takes this job knows they have three or maybe four years to do nothing but be competitive and build the program. This program is dying to have someone who wants to push this program to a Iowa State or KSU of the 90s - early 2000s level.

Leipold, Monken, Fritz and it sounds like in any scenario that Jones will be retained.

Too bad we can't just get the Coastal coach.
