No. Lewis had a subpar coaching record before hitting the undefeated season jackpot.

Houston has a really good coaching history at every stop.

Houston has a nice resume, but ZERO experience as a player or assistant or head coach at a major program. That is concerning, as he has no opportunity to even watch how its done at a P5 school, including the recruiting, organizing, management, fund raising, media, etc.

Yeah Houston would be a very underwhelming hire IMO, but he would be a relatively safe hire - similar to how I view BOB.

One was National Coach of the Year at Penn State and won his division four times in six years i the NFL, while the other has been slightly below average at ECU. Yep, very similar

Personally, I don't pay much attention to NFL results/experience - IMO it doesn't necessarily translate to NCAA.

I do think BOB is better option, but so much of our fanbase has no interest in BOB, that it would be viewed as a very vanilla hire (irregardless of how qualified he is).

i have a feeling we are hiring a name we haven’t discussed on here. like a p5 coordinator from a bigger school or position guy.

most of the favored names carry more risk than anyone wants to admit and i feel like the interest is more than likely one way

A lot of the favored names are just that.

I was strongly against hiring Whiz four years ago. Right now, I think we’d have been better off with him.

Because the buyout would be lower?
