[QUOTE="Techster, post: 762067, member: 360"] Monken is a HELL of a coach...IMO, one of the top 10 coaches in the nation. Any P5 school that brings him in will have 5+ years of 8-10 wins. However, it's going to take an AD with a BIG set on him (or her) to sign Monken. The day you announce Monken as your head coach, half of your fan base will always hate him, and you eliminate yourself from 50%+ of your recruiting pool...and a even higher percentage of elite recruits probably don't even answer the phone. Unfortunately, that's the uphill battle you fight with "triple option" coaches in this day and age of spread offenses with QBs regularly throwing for 2500+ yards, and WRs with 50+ catches a season. Even CPJ acknowledged that in a Sports Illustrated article. Coach Ken at Navy had to fight that battle with BYU, and ultimately he walked away from BYU because they wanted him to change too much. If I'm a school like Vandy whose fanbase just want to win no matter what winning will look like, Monken is an absolute no brainer. Should have happened years ago with Coach Ken at Navy, but Vandy AD didn't have a set big enough to pull the trigger. [/QUOTE]
