[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 920528, member: 2299"] My original preference, of anyone seriously mentioned, was O'Brien. P5 experience with connections, successful head coaching experience, a good offensive mind that isn't married to any particular system and would, hopefully, be able to help the OC without being as heavily involved as Johnson was calling the plays allowing for a more general program focus. Otherwise, pretty much any of the others mentioned, Chadwell, Fritz, Clark, etc would be fine to me. I'd prefer Chadwell or Clark to Fritz but it's not a huge deal to me. I was always cold on Sanders because of his overall relative lack of experience but at the very least it'd be a spectacle and there is a dynamic with him that is just incomparable to others which I at least see the argument for. Key is basically at the bottom of the list. No HC experience. Minimal OC experience. The biggest feather in his cap coaching wise is the 8 games as IHC where half of them, UVA, VT, Miami, and FSU, were bad performances to me. In the remaining games the calling card for our improved play this year was very heavily on the defense which not only isn't his area of experience but also likely heavily influenced by other new coaches to that said of the ball, along with a publicly documented change in dynamic that predated Key taking over. Basically with the others you can answer the question of "what have you accomplished" and point to successful stints at prior places either taking programs to higher levels (Chadwell, Fritz, Sanders) or just an amazing rebound (Clark). With Key you're pointing to individual games and then things like players loving him and being a GT guy. What Key should do is go be the head coach of UAB or some smaller school. If he's what people think he is, he'll quickly prove himself and if we're making a change in a couple of years then he is a much better candidate at that time. If he doesn't work out then we avoid a big bullet in promoting from within a staff that pretty much completely failed. Ironically, I think Key is actually hurt by the donors leaking stuff trying to play king maker for him because while he's waiting to see if he'll get the job here, other places where he might get picked up are likely moving on.
