Because perception is a big part of reality, especially for the current generation of kids...instant credibility is worth a few years' worth of results in some situations. Dilfer may have gotten Lipscomb to the same place if you'd never heard of him, but not as soon as it happened just because you (and everyone else) knew the reputation...not because he could coach.

I will disagree with you. I think you and I could have done just as well as Dilfer if we had the players he did. Granted we could not have got them like his reputation did, not his coaching. I f Dilfer had been coach at Glencliff he would have not any better than current coach ( no disrespect to him),  Players won those games at LA, not Dilfer. I do think there are some former pro players who can coach. My point is there are others who can coach just as well.

You really need a comprehensive reading class man...you begin with "I disagree with you", then agree with everything I stated. The only thing different at all is that you insinuate that Dilfer isn't a better coach than average, and I just left that out altogether. Literally just did the same thing on the BA thread too...SMH!

Completely disagree with you….Trent was an amazing x&o coach, coupled with having 15+ coaches on staff.  Defensive coordinator so good that Trent brought with him to UAB.  Say what you want, but how many high school d-coordinators step up to a power 5 d coordinator job.  
You have zero idea what you’re talking about here.  You think Lipscomb had better talent talent than Thompson?

i'm with flea.  I think the man is an incredible head coach/CEO.  the vision he cast and the drive with which he pursued that vision was pretty amazing to watch.  he attracted the talent on the field, pulled in amazing coaches, cast a vision for a brand that is pretty strong and attractive, set a goal and achieved it.  I think that's selling him short to call him an average coach.  LA was a door mat when he arrived and he won a championship in 3 years.  

ask jimbo fisher about having all the talent in the world but not winning...

Before you think that I'm disagreeing with you, I'm not...you nailed it! I find it sort of interesting that while listing Dilfer's positive qualities, you completely omitted coaching knowledge. I'm not saying that Trent can't coach (in the pure form of the word)...I'm sort of illuminating the fact that success can be achieved in many ways, and your word CEO for it is perfect.

I dont think you were disagreeing with me.  fb247 said, "I think you and I could have done just as well as Dilfer if we had the players he did" and I dont think that's true.  I didn't mention his football knowledge because I am not qualified to discern that, I dont think.  however, I co-own several companies, have been the CEO and know what a good one looks like.  sounds like we agree on that.

So who is Lipscomb going to hire at the next football coach?  It’s currently January 23, 2023 and the clock is ticking, do they have any additional interviews scheduled?

Kevin Mawae.

The biggest reason to go with another NFL guy is because whoever it is has to be connected enough to continue to fund the program. The school itself did not pay for those 25 assistant coaches, strength staff, nutritionist, and barber. That was all raised internally. Whoever gets the job has to be able to continue to raise those funds because they will not be coming from the school itself.

If it's Mawae, that's a really good hire.  He started his career at MBA after he retired from the Titans and developed a really good reputation not just as a coach but as a leader in the school.  I can't remember what exact role he was given in the school, but it was a very senior position.  Plus, he was hosting on campus a really high level OL camp during the summer.  Just like Dilfer could attract QBs, Mawae will attract O linemen from all over.  Was just thinking recently we need to get something like that going again, maybe with Steve Hutchinson.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
