And given what Moorhead was, which is zero SEC experience, Chizik is a starting point if the fan base wanted experience and SEC familiarity plus won a title.

It gives them a measure of what the fans really want. Are they ok with a retread, but one that's got extensive SEC experience and a national title? Solid name for them to float even if it's bull crap. Gauges what the fans are wanting. That's why there's nothing wrong with being someone that gives out info the athletic department WANTS out there. Who cares if it's false or if it's true?

It's all for the athletic department to gauge fan interest.
How about the just go hire the best coach and stop worrying about what the fans want?

Does nobody here know how to interview coaches?
