Narduzzi and CSU getting some traction

Forde and vannini on Twitter both saying that nardawg is among the list of potential list of candidates for the colorado state job. Others named were Scott Frost, Vance Bedford, Billy Gonzalez, Tony Alford, Dave Baldwin, and Marty English.

He's not on the list of candidates that I drew up for the CSU job, so I don't think there's anything truth to Forde's or Vannini's speculation.

yeah. I just checked my list too and there's no Nardawg on there anywhere so this has to be false.

Harbaugh is the leader for the CSU job.

Harbaugh is also on the list of names to replace a recent retiree where I work.

Harbaugh thought to be the next General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party

I'm not sure I buy narduzzi as a head coach. Not because I don't want him to leave, although I don't. There's just something about his personality that lends itself well to coordinator. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see I guess.

See, great minds think alike. We should compare notes at Turtleneck's Cotton Bowl watch party, that is, if you're going.

Way to relegate him to coordinator his whole life. Well guess what? You're not mod material and are going to be a measly poster forever.

You just hate me cuz you ain't me.

Narduzzi is going to Pitt

Geography does matter and Narddog to CSU seems like a stretch. But Narddog to Pitt seems like a perfect fit. I'm actually all for it - he takes that gig for five years, and comes back with head coaching experience when Dantonio hangs his massive brass balls up in the Hall of Fame.

So your horse could live in a barn and not eat at the dinner table?

Dave Baldwin? Where has he been? Shocked he hasn't gotten a bcs OC gig in a while

Baldwin was OC and is interim CSU coach right now for the bowl

That actually doesn't sound bad. The concern though is what that does to the MSU defense immediately vs what might work out 5 years from now.

One of our defensive minded coaches has a ring on his finger for winning a NC.

I would rather let my horse eat next to me at the table than most humans.

BS. Nardawg was up for the Texas gig, and turned it down. Now you're telling me he's leaving MSU, and Connor Cook's senior year, to take Colorado Fucking State? I don't think so, Tim.

Nardawg wasn't up for the Texas job, dantonio was

Yeah, he might be a candidate, and he may interview, but I don't think he's going to CSU. Pitt I would believe to be a much more likely destination.

Mike Bobo (OC @ Georgia) is interviewing for the CSU job.

I was thinking the exact same thing..

GO GREEN!

cSU is a stepping stone job while Pitt is more a destination due to craptastic acc.

W that said, not sure either is good enough for nardawg. Perfect place for him is Miami fwiw

....and if CSU is smart. They either tap uofms oc nuss or our very own at CMU and keep the jls train a rolling

You think the nardawg could revitalize the 'U'?

Fwiw that's what he based his D on....

So basing the style/philosophy of his D on a defense run by a staff that is long gone, and with players that are long gone and were in massive violation of NCAA rules somehow means that he could go there and be successful?

I don't think he'd be a good fit with the culture of the U or the city. Oh sure, they'd like the swagger (if he could come close to replicating what he's done on defense at MSU), but not the integrity and discipline that he'd bring.

Dude can dominate with integrity. He'd be fine

So what you're saying is that there's a list of a list, on which he is listed??

I'm not talking about integrity in the sense of not having a Luther Campbell or Nevin Shapiro helping the program, I mean just in how he carries himself, recruiting (even within NCAA rules), discipline, etc. Assuming Duzzi were to run his program similar to how MD does, I think he'd ruffle a lot of feathers down here.
