re: Paul Johnson

I have no inside information, no connections, and no influence.

But, I think we'll get someone like him, i.e., someone out of left field. This is Skip's M.O.

No one thought about Miles when Saban left. And, most felt that we had been shortchanged with Miles and that we should have gone after the much bigger name.

Skip will do the same thing this time around -- hire a no-name coach (that has had mediocre success) to a $1.2 million contract, and just hopes that things work out.

I seriously doubt we'll ever see these pie-in-the-sky big name coaches even being interviewed by Skip. It will be a name out of the blue that wasn't prominently mentioned on this site. Brian Kelly, perhaps is about the biggest name that may be considered.
