You guys just had a bunch of insiders saying Gruden was a done deal, and everyone got use to the idea.

Thats happens with all fanbases, but you guys have alot larger, dedicated fanbase. So it just seems worse.

I think they'll do fine. I get your point about having home run hires but a lot of times it's the unknown coaches who turn out to be superstars.

In 07 there's a great example of this. Michigan went with the big name coach (Rich Rod) over a then little known coach named Jim Harbaugh. How different would things be for UM now

I don't care who they are as long as they get the job done.

Here is all you need to know about Jancek and his evaluating talent. He offered Chase Vasser and Dexter Moody first over Jarvis Jones, but he did offer Jones much later. On his in home with Jarvis Jones he fell asleep. He is the reason Jarvis went to USC.

Kevin Minter begged for a UGA offer that same year, but Jancek thought he was not good enough so we took Mike Gilliard, Vasser, and Moody. LSU should send Jancek thank you cards... Jancek was told to look elsewhere for a job after that recruiting cycle...

I guess nobody realized the best staff was in Cincy this entire time.

I dont think many know much about his coaching ability.

You don't think many know about his coaching ability? I guarantee you none of them know about his coaching ability. You hit the nail on the head, they just remember him as the QB that led UT to the NC.
