We have only had 3 coaches in the last 27 years- a stable program
Sherrill and Mullen made it to 14 bowl games in 22 combined seasons- and Jackie got screwed out of one in 1997.
We are viewed as a stable program with good leadership
You know damn well candidates realize OM is getting sanctions
2 of our 3 coaches were winners at State. The 3rd was hired by LT under an NCAA cloud after 3 straight losing seasons.
It's an exciting time for us right now. Stop fearing the unknown and embrace it. I expect another younger, high energy hire like we made with Cann
