He picked a guy who will be the hottest commodity NEXT year. But not now.

I heard this bullshit when Mullen was hired. OH WE HAVE TO HIRE AN EXPERIENCED COACH for the sec. Yea, That wasn't the recipe to equal an unprecedented ranking. Those who will only hire someone with experience in a position get left in the dust. plain and simple. They are followers that will never lead. At some point you have to have faith that the next Saban, Adolf Rupp, or Skip Bertman is waiting to be hired. If you aren't willing to hire him because of experience, you are a dumbass.

get the hell outta here with that baseball snotty attitude. Do something new or remain with the ashes of the past.
Saban was a HC before lsu and bama hired him. We think of ourselves as being closer to lsu and bama in baseball than to Michigan st in the mid-90s when they hired Saban. Urban Meyer was a HC at bowling green and Utah before Florida. Les miles was a HC before lsu.

Fact is, top tier programs shouldn't have to gamble on unproven commodities, they should be able to pull successful HCs from lower tier programs. The timing of this sucked, so pulling a successful HC was pretty much out of the question, but cannizaro will be on a short leash because if we start a coaching search in the summer, we could absolutely pull a guy with proven success.
