That's because he's taken over dumpster fires and turned them into winners.

EVERYWHERE HE'S BEEN.

This year he'll have a 10-win season at his fourth stop as a head coach - Fordham, Richmond, Bowling Green and now Wake Forest.

He'll go to his SIXTH STRAIGHT bowl game. At WAKE FOREST.

He's an absolutely outstanding coach and he would without question win big here. The only question is recruiting with him, because he wins with diamond-in-the-rough recruits rather than 4- and 5-star talent. My guess is with some $$ to work with he could hire big-time recruiters to help with that, though.

He’s been at WF since 2014. That’s a lengthy rebuild.

And that’s a good spot for him. Word is he likes the more academically focused institutions.

He coaches in the god damn ACC and isnt setting the world on fire over there. Hell if we are going that route we might as well hire Napier. Man come on... So Aranda, Kiffin, and Napier arent good enough for LSU but Clawson is. Think about what yall are saying for once please.

He's 8-0 and atop the league standings. Exactly what about that doesn't satisfy you?

You are exactly right... but I do not see how this would make him any better that say Napier. He does it in his conference with the talent he has. And what about Aranda, he does it there with all 3 stars. And Kiffin, even though he is at Ole Miss, the talent he has there isnt great. You see what I am saying. Just because you are doing great at a lesser school with the talent you have does not make you better than any of the other candidates.

No. He goes out with wads of cash on the recruiting trail and bagmen on his speed dial, he'll do just fine.
