Why would any university, especially a major program hire someone as the HC without that individual having a major Defensive or Offensive philosophy (Orgeron).


Ask Florida, Ohio State and Clemson. They have done it and the coaches are all still there except for Florida.

what happens in 2-4 years when the entire coaching staff and all the players have changed.


O will probably pick up the phone and call some of the best CO's available and say "Hey, the guy that we were paying well over a million bucks to run the defense is leaving. You want to come here and make a name for yourself with some of the best talent in the country? You will be able to run that side of the ball however you see fit."

Are we talking about he same Urban Meyer that has literally coached both sides of the ball at the college level, then went on to a mid-major college program or two with good success before moving on to a major program? Is that the same Urban Meyer were are talking about?

And Dabo Swinney is the exception that proves the rule. A couple of coaches that buck the trend, does not sell me on the risks. We could name quite a few that went the other direction.

Doing this once or twice is not the cause for concern, having to do this ever 2-4 years is what has me with the not so confident feeling that this is the best thing for our (Or any major program for that matter) program.

A HC decision should not be made based on the coordinators he would need to hire. Especially if the basis for that argument is throw more money at it! Don't forget, the major programs set the trend. More and more schools will start to pay more and it only becomes more expensive for us. In not too long that "over a million bucks" isn't as enticing and we the fans will have to pay more to offset this.
