Selling a high ceiling is better than accepting mediocrity.
    Someone with experience is way less risky. The time we went the coordinator route since 1979 Dan is really the only one that worked out. Felker,
    Moorhead, and Arnett were not good. Dan worked out so we're at 25% there.

    The guys with coaching experience that we have hired- Bellard, Jackie, and Leach all were successful here.

    Croom was a NFL guy so he doesn't fit but clearly didn't work out.

    I would imagine we are definitely considering coordinators and doing our DD on everyone, but there is a strong preference and lean towards a current HC. Selmon is a smart guy, he knows what needs to be done

    There's no success without risk.And counting Cohen hires are illegitimate. He's an unqualified fool trained by Templeton who was the same.

    Look, I said when this started to watch for Elko if A&M didn't move on him. Well, here we are and there he is. I don't know if we can pull him, but since we've talked to him, there's at least something there- could be a raise from Duke, could be a move to the SEC. Could be he gets another job too. But he's a plus guy.

    This to me would be a home run hire. SEC coordinator experience, big time program experience as a coordinator, successful P5 head coach at a place that doesn't traditionally win. To me that's as good as hire as anyone could possibly ask for.

    Got to get through Michigan St as well. They may be close to getting their guy. TAM is not expecting to announce their coach until after the Conference championships, so that would indicate that Elko is not their top guy or they have their guy and waiting.

    I would be pretty happy with Elko. He has been at A&M and also at Notre Dame with Brian Kelly

    Elko would be in the homerun category.

    Elko, Candle, Fisch and Smith. Leipold looks to not have made their top 4. Could be a smokescreen though.

    I'm not sure who it will finally be with them. They are doing a full national search though.

    You've taken so many L's recently I'm encouraged by this prediction.
