Next Head FB coach

[StarkVegasSteve]

Very few coaches that we could have hired previously would hesitate to take it now. The transfer portal is a game changer and anyone we hire can immediately flip a roster very quickly. Also, zero chance we lose 40 guys no matter what we do. That just isn?t going to happen. There are a lot of people who would love to take over an 8 win team with a lot returning and a favorable schedule next year.

UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I figured I would lead it with it this time. This is not a normal coaching search. You are replacing a sitting P5 HC who was quite literally with his team 96 hours ago. This is not replacing a guy who got fired or a coach who is resigning or retiring. This has only happened 3 or 4 other times in the history of the sport. This is not on page 76 of the coaching handbook. With the timing of this and the circumstances surrounding it there just will not be much interest in this job from anyone other than extremely high risk candidates. Only a couple of P5 HCs that we would want will have legit interest in the job and only a handful of G5 HCs will and we cannot hire an outsider who has never been a HC to try and steer this ship after what has happened. And you are right the transfer portal is a game changer, but it is not a game changer in February. Only a handful of guys jump into the portal after spring practice. Again I am not making the hire. No one on this board is so our opinions are just that, OPINIONS.
