List of a few who made the move successfully.

Ryan Day-Ohio State
Chip Kelly- Oregon
Lincoln Riley-Oklahoma
Kirby Smart- Georgia
Marcus Freeman- Notre Dame
Dan Lanning - Oregon
Clark Lea - Vanderbilt
Brent Key - G tech


I think this is accurate! And if we go this way, do we hire an offensive or defensive guy?

Schumann - Defense
Stein - Offense

If you are going that route

Lea and Key would be higher on my list for HC. I would look at it closer but Lea's Vanderbilt team looks great with talent upgrades. However, there is that ghost in the background named James Franklin who did the same at Vandy and never could win the big game at Penn State. And Key at Ga Tech is top 10 obviously in the rankings. I would like to see them play and see if Haynes King is carrying the team. If HK doesn't win the Heisman, he should at least be in New York as a finalist.

Just about every head coach in college or NFL, good or bad, has been a coordinator at some point.

So go ahead and add Kiffin and Brian Kelly and Orgeron and Miles and Saban and Dinardo.....

Franklin never sniffed what Lea is doing at Vanderbilt right now.

Schumann has somehow made Georgia’s defense average. I don’t want that guy anywhere close to here. The second lanning left that defense went downhill.

Huh? Franklin was at Vandy for 3 seasons...1 losing season and 2 9-4 ranked in top 25 each time. Lea had 3 losing seasons at Vandy then a 7-6 last year and 7-1 this season SO FAR. This season isn't over yet. I would say so far that Franklin's resume is better than Lea's.
