It would've been viewed quite unfavorably. Kleiman is in a great spot at KSU and he didn't have to really move his recruiting base. Coming here would've shifted him into an unknown recruiting base and the SEC is not a learn as you go conference.

    I mean we've got people having a lot of revisionist history on the Moorhead hire. There weren't many people, in our fanbase or out, that were saying we made a bad or questionable hire. Hell there were OM fans who were pissed because he'd been linked to them if Luke wouldn't have been retained in 17.
    I don?t care what our fanbase would?ve thought at the time but I advocated for him because he was a fantastic coach and kept winning national titles at a small school. They would?ve got over it once he won 10 or 11 games with the 2018 team. If our fanbase really cared about football they would?ve seen it was the best hire at the time and we wouldn?t have witnessed our players looking like dweebs when we played KSU on our home field two years later up against not rated and 2 star players. And our fanbase that thought he was a good hire has never been to PA and heard the jokes made about Moorhead and how much he underachieved there I heard it all the time and knew it would be a disaster
