He does, however, have successful P5 HC experience at two schools (albeit on interim basis).

Interim doesn't count.

True, O did a good job as interim at both schools. But an interim steps in for the prior coach, with his players, staff, etc. Interim is more about keeping a team emotionally intact. A permanent HC is in charge of the entire program.

Now, O has done a good job since getting the permanent gig, so I give him credit. But it's all about results on the field.
