Can we let it play out for the next 3 years before we term a guy who did 7-5 a "home run hire". Remember rich rod.....

i think he means home run as in winner at a BCS school, winning track record. i think home run refers to the coach before he coaches a game

Man, you need to read a little closer. I didn't call any of those guys "home run hires".

Here's what I said:
"In terms of getting a head coach with sustained success, only 2 schools seemed to have done that - Notre Dame and Texas Tech."

And I think that statement is true. Tuberville had a level of sustained success at Auburn, and Kelly had a level of sustained success at Cincy (I think he was 34-6 in 3 years).

My original point is that none of those hires were glamorous. Some may turn out great for a particular school, but it's not like colleges are reeling in Gruden, Shanahan, Stoops, Cowher, etc. like some fans believe would happen at their school.

Yes, I remember Rich Rod. He went 3-9 in his first year, as opposed to Brian Kelly's 7-5. Not sure what your point is.
