Remember, coaches are a arrogant cocky bunch and they tend to think they can succeed. Moreover, G5 coaches don't get better job than us unless they go 12-0 like Frost or Herman. Look at Neil Brown- had we hired him he'd be making 3.5M at an SEC school with top 25 talent. Instead a year later he has to take the WV job making less. Scatterfield is at a worse program than us after being ignored for a season or 2, Clark was passed up, Norvell has been passed up for years now... G5 coaches aren't as picky as you'd think. Maybe the top 1 in a year but the other 2-3 really solid G5 coaches would jump at our job
State could get a G5 coach. After Arkansas and FSU fill their jobs or turn them down
