UCLA, NC State and Ole Miss aren't major schools? Maybe not the last 2 (big maybe), but UCLA?

a head coach has to start somewhere's right?
but who are some assistants out there (other than ours and muschamp) who would be up for it?

It's a lot to ask of an asst. to come into a program that wins 10 games every year and continue that success.
That's the key thing to note. About the only coach on the list that didn't go into a losing program was Richt, and UGA was only a 7-8 win type program at best when he took over. If we were to go and get an asst with no HC, he'd have to be use to the expectations and environment of a program at this level. All I can think of is Jimbo and Strong, and neither seem likely.

I thought he had no HC exp. either, but he'd actually coached at some smaller schools before WV.
1990-96 Glenville State
I will still include him since those are really small programs and he was an assistant right before getting the WVU gig.

True, Lester, but how many times did those coaches first become head coach at a smaller school, or one that wasn't a traditional power?
You are both a gentleman and a scholar.

I don't consider these guys to be at major schools, or traditional powers...
Texas Tech and West VA are traditional powers though?

Nick Saban was basically a career assistant when he was hired at Michigan ST.
and our own Les Miles was a career ASST before landing OSU

Yeah, just saw that Ferenz coached Maine for three seasons...before being an assistant.

Lester, can I assume that you are not opposed to a coordinator being hired?

Its not my first choice, but no, Im not opposed to that idea if its the right person.

Ok, can you think of any other OC or DC that can be added to the potential candidate list?
Posted on 11/29/07 at 4:13 pm to Chicken
I dont know how realistic they would be

No. He had been the HC at Toledo for at least one season.

I know I'll get shot for this. What about Sarkasian, the USC OC?
