It is hard to say how many SEC schools would have taken an interest in hiring because outside Bama we were the only team hiring after his undefeated season at JMU. A team that recently jumped from FCS and won the Sun Belt with a talent deficiency even for sunbelt standards. I am not saying at the time he had the resume for Bama, but he certainly did for the mid tier SEC schools. He had much more head coaching experience than Lebby who had none. Whether Cignetti actively reached out to us is something I would need to ask my family to ask Frank Cignetti Jr when they see him at the IUP/Slippery Rock game in mid January, but Selmon did 100% not reach out or have him on his radar
