[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 900518, member: 2299"] The celebrity talk holds merit because he is not being mentioned because what he has done at Jackson State. If he wasn't a pro sports legend in atlanta he wouldn't be mentioned. Not because what he has done is bad, but because what he has done just doesn't show enough. He's had about 2 and a third years coaching in college total. None as an assistant or coordinator, and none at the FBS level. If it wasn't for his fame, he'd be getting looks from mid majors but he wouldn't be considered for a P5 job YET. Look at Willie Simmons. If we're going strictly by coaching records, Simmons has accomplished more. Took an FAMU team that had something like a 5 or 6 year streak of losing records and had back to back 9 win seasons, 7-1 in conference. He also has several years of experience as an assistant. Is he getting any mentions? I haven't seen any. Nor would I expect to. Not because he isn't a good coach. By all accounts he is. But because the normal expectation would be going to a G5 school. Sanders is being talked about because of his celebrity status. He may very well be a good coach on top of that, and maybe it is a point that makes it worth jumping the normal process, but his resume is not what is going to get him the GT job if he does get it this year.
