[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 907475, member: 282"] I think some of our favorite topics around here are how much our coach should be fired (when we have a head coach), and who our next head coach should be (more popular when we’ve fired our head coach, but still popular any time our coach doesn’t have us in top-tier bowl games). Again, none of us had Batt on the “who is the next AD?” bingo card. Likewise, we should consider the frontrunner for the next head coach as “someone who isn’t on our list at all”. We haven’t considered many FCS coaches, but some of this year’s hottest coaches were FCS coaches recently. Hiring an FCS coach isn’t a “they won’t cost a lot, let’s bargain shop” decision. Some of those coaches are really good coaches. On one hand, the competition is fiercer in P5; on the other hand, they’ve got more resources to use (even here). Also, on bargain shopping—I think we’ve learned our lesson that sometimes you can save too much money. It costs us more to fire a bad coach than it does to hire a good one. When we look at programs that are punching above their weight class, a lot of it is being consistent and being at least a little innovative. Building a good staff is something we should have our eyes on, too. Syracuse is night-and-day better after adding the OC that UVA cut loose last year. Another trend of this thread is that I see us rejecting a lot of candidates in posts here. I haven’t watched a single game that Deion Sanders has coached. If you haven’t seen what he’s done, how can you reject him? I saw Chadwell called a “hyped coach”. He got Coastal Carolina into the top 10 and ended the year in the top 25 just two years ago. He was in the top 25 last year. There are other G5 coaches that are good coaches. Key still has a shot, too. Last Thursday didn’t help, but he’s still got time to show what he can do. Mid-year repair jobs aren’t easy. Instead of trashing a candidate (if they even are a candidate), why not go on YouTube and post a video here of one of their games and show what they’ve done, and break down some game film so we can figure out what they can do?
