kirklandduck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) ASU's getting desperate...probably because no one wants to coach ASU with an unknown number of sanctions coming their way. If I were Dillingham I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Nothing kills a promising career like a really bad move.

EzDucksIt No. 3 Share Posted November 14, 2022 People chasing that flapping Dollar in the wind, might. But smart people, develop their foundations first. See Dan Lanning assembly of staff. Could it be possible, sure. Smart man making that decision, KD NO WAY says me. Kenny wants to prove himself. Arizona St going to have some NCAA issues. No matter what, if KD performs to the level he has, there will be positions galore for a man of his skills. One that will provide security to him and his young family. Had Harsin, looked at Auburns past, Place where Coaches go to Die Rich. See Texas, Miami, FSU, Tennessee, Florida, USC and soon to be Texas A&M. I would have added Nebraska but they kept their coaches over 4 years, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuck No. 4 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Why take a job with the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head? In addition to a depleted roster and pending sanctions the Athletic Director is on thin ice, having recently received the dreaded vote of confidence from the ASU president. The tweet quoted below speaks volumes. Anderson is under contract through February of 2026. Anderson himself had been ambiguous about his role in hiring ASU’s new football coach, saying he’d be involved but didn’t know “the structure” of how the process would work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noDucknewby No. 7 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I Agree with Mr. FD, I'll worry about the silly season when it gets here. We know KD is a rising star and is going to get offers, but I'm betting he wouldn't take this job even if offered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckFan93 No. 10 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It's another problem and sign of OBD's success. I tell all my fellow OBD fans after Saturday to take a deep breath and look at the big picture - shouldn't we be happy that UW made such a huge deal about beating us? Remember how it was a HUGE DEAL for UO to beat UW back in 1994? How the tide has turned? OBD is now enjoying the prestidge of Alabama, tOSU, Clemson and ND, where other teams "win of the (insert forever in their timeline)" is beating the Ducks? Same idea about yanking coaches form us... We should rejoice in the successes of OBD and continue to be proud of our team, as long as they keep working on it. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Waddler Moderator No. 15 Share Posted November 15, 2022 It’s never easy to gauge the effect on a coach who is being offered the chance to ride into his home state and alma mater like the cavalry come to save the day. You could call it the Mario effect. It probably tugs at such a guy like a magnet. And if enough money is being thrown at them it can tip the scale. You just hope that KD is as smart as they think he is, and lets the emotional pull and money wash over him until he can come to a clear understanding of what is at stake. If he does that, it’s hard to imagine him walking into that mine field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 16 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Think about how passionate we are as fans about Oregon, then add in the emotion of playing or coaching at that school. If Oregon called me for any position, I wouldn’t even have to think about it. It would have nothing to do with money. I don’t care how big of a mess the school or program was in, I would pull the trigger immediately and go for it. Mario made a terrible decision, but how can you blame him? I would have done the exact same thing. My guess is Dilly is gone for that reason. ASU is a mess, but there are advantages to that. The biggest being that he probably is going to get some time to build it without immediate consequences.

47sgs Author No. 17 Share Posted November 15, 2022 ASU hires outside consulting firm in search for next head football coach ARIZONASPORTS.COM Arizona State has hired outside help from an organizational consulting firm to aid the university in finding its next head football coach. Dillingham may be a candidate for the job, but he isn't necessarily THE candidate. ASU has hired a search group for candidates, and they also have the interim coach as a candidate. We'll just have to see how it plays out and if he's even offered the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 18 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The most prominent names for the ASU job are Jim Mora Jr. and Bryan Harsin. Both make a lot more sense than Dilly, as it is unknown if he has the tools to be a head coach, as it is so early in his career at age 32. Jim Mora knows the West coast, and understands the Pac-12 as he has led UCLA to a 46-30 record. He’s got UCONN to 6-5 this season after the single win in 2021 and two wins in 2019. (No 2020 season) He is really turning things around there. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have no idea why Auburn hired him in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No 2020 season) He is really turning things around there. 1000% agree on Mora and Harsin. I think Lanning will counsel Dilly to take the approach that he did, which was to wait for the right opportunity. ASU may avoid serious NCAA sanctions due to the fact that they basically cleaned the house of the coaches who were involved in some of the mess there but they will likely get some sort of punishment. A guess is a reduction in scholarships and some other administrative changes they need to make so for a couple of guys who want to get back to the P12 this job might be attractive. The AD there has been known to make some 'head scratching' decisions so hard to say what he might do, but Mora or Harsin would fit his profile of possible hires in my opinion before KD.

OhioDuck No. 21 Share Posted November 16, 2022 If Dillingham bides his time a little bit, there will be better offers than this coming along. It might be at a lower level than the PAC at first, but with a great chance for success. Then, if he makes the best of that chance, he's in the running for some big time jobs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 22 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Short term a very good idea. Longterm probably not such a great idea if your dream is to be a successful head football coach. The problem here is it is a brilliant idea if you just want to go pick up a winning lottery ticket. We live in a society where the American dream seems to be to win the lottery. Hard work and putting in the time to be successful isn't seen as often as the highly publicized lottery winner. Whether it is the elite school dropout who takes their unprofitable company public, or just the coach who put up some great statistics, the big money is a large lure. Can Dilly stay focused on building his resume and ability or will he follow our previous two head coaches into the chase for the big bucks. I will also say there is nothing wrong with knowing where your ceiling is. Helfrich probably would have become one of the most elite OC's in the country, but chased after something he wasn't able to succeed at. Either way tough choice.
