And all three had success.

Would have completely depended on who he hired. Which is a complete unknown. What we do know is MSU has shown that we can hire elite coordinators even going back to the Jackie Sherrill days and I don't think Cohen would mind overpaying on coordinators especially if he can save money on the head coach. Then it's a matter of hiring elite recruiters. And we absolutely have the ability to do that.

So, at the end of the day it's all about how we decide to go about it. Try to outscheme everyone with a Mullen, Moorhead, or Leach and maybe sacrifice some recruiting acumen or get someone like a Pittman with really good recruiters. Either way works for me.

The good thing is IF we ever do hire Judge he will have head coaching experience. Plus whatever else happens between now and then.
