He's a successful P5 coordinator. He doesn't have a track record with the length you would typically want, but he's coached under a great defensive mind and now under a great head coach and has shown success as a DC. He's already shown he can be successful with the type of recruits we get against the competition we play. He's checks all the boxes for the type of experience you want, just not the length. I agree you have to do a national search, but I disagree that he's not a top 10 candidate. Now would he be if he were not already here? Likely not because of his short track record, but he is here and that does play into it.
