I was supportive of Elliott at the time, I thought his background and experience would lend to better recruiting than Collins and he had actually been a coach on a championship caliber team where as Collins' closest brush with high level success was being an off the field director of personnel or whatever at Bama. Turns out I was wrong on Elliott but right on Collins.Not sure we dodged a bullet considering who we went with instead...
Looking back at the common names that were being thrown out at the time, a lot of them ended up being duds.
Collins
Elliott
Scott Satterfield
Jeff Monken
Neal Brown
Whisenhunt
Willie Fritz
Brian Bohannon
Gus Malzahn
Bohannon has probably maintained the most success of all of them by posting double digit wins in 2019 and 2021 with a very good shortened covid year, although he is still at the FCS level and had a mediocre season last year. Monken has had a couple good seasons and a couple mediocre, Fritz has had the one really good season, one really bad season, and one mediocre season, but looking good so far this year. Malzahn has put up 3 9 win seasons and a 6-4 covid season, and is also off to a good start.
