[QUOTE="EE95_curse EMAG!, post: 909926, member: 4295"] I want a guy/gal for BOTH. past success and currently holding their own. Most important to me, if we get a former HC, is did they improve a program? If so, good upside for us. If they just played caretaker to a program that was already improved or the program slipped each year...PASS. If we get an OC/DC/other that has no HC experience, I want the OC to have dramatically improved the offense or the DC for the defense for said program over multiple years. Again, no OC/DC that came in to an already top offense/defense and simply held firm or saw a modest decline. Most of the retread HC's being discussed all failed at some points and didn't have any great turn around stories. Florida got worse under Mullen, Miss State better and then worse, but they have a history of being good a few years and then bad again well before Mullen got there. BOB, not real enthused about him. If he got hired, I'd admit he's better than CGC, and he has some potential to be a good HC. However, the way he completely mismanaged the Texans leaves serious doubts about his admin/leadership abilities that a good HC must have. He did win early with Texans, but they had a VERY GOOD defense left over from Wade Phillips days and good OL/RB play. He also had Deshaun Watson. He had tons of talent that he quickly mis-managed away. Deshaun issue blew up only at the very end of O'Briens tenure. I'd rather hire an up-n-coming younger coach with upside or Deion just for the huge boost in attention he'd bring to GT which would improve recruiting drastically, get NIL deals that actually catch recruits eyes (not quite Bama/UGA/Texas level, but not a joke compared to them either). I get Deion is a huge ??? as far as playing teams with comparable talent, but I do think we'd finally have comparable talent and that's half the battle. The other half is good OC and/or DC to keep us playing efficiently. I am sure Deion could attract a good OC/DC, just not sure if he'd hire the right ones for him, but hey all HCs run this risk. The OC/DC we have now are awful. They make Friedgen and Tenuta look like HOF'ers. My true wish is to aim for national titles. I don't want to "settle" for 6 or 7 wins and lower tiered bowls that no one knows where it is. PASS.

I hope the hire says we're going for it all, not just incremental improvements to just get over the .500 hurdle every season... YAWN. Whomever they do hire, I'll get on board.
