No risk, no reward. Wes Johnson didn't have head coaching experience. Lemonis did.

There is less risk with Elander than all of these West Coast head coaches being named. Less risk than mid major coaches being named. SEC experience matters. Recruiting prowess matters. He's learned from the best program builder and premier coach in the country.

I would make a run at Backich and Heefner first. Then I would hire Elander. All other names are unrealistic or mid. And just remember, all head coaching hires are a risk.
