I'm just saying that at any time in the year, y'all should be able to secure the services of a head coach other than John L. Smith.
I get that you might not snag the "top" choice for a coach, due to the timing. But there's levels. And IMO, from day one, JLS was not EVER the level coach that should be chosen by an SEC team. Not even a Kentucky. I honestly never got that.
because I'm sure coaches were lining up to be an interim head coach. Even with this season one year of John L would be better than multiple years of whoever we would've gotten in the spring.

Boy, all of you Arky fans are missing it.
What does it say about your university that you were forced to hire a guy like John L Smith for 10 months, with the talent of a top 5 team (allegedly)?
You can disagree with me, I get that. But I'm saying, I listened to Arky fans go on and on and on about having unlimited purse strings. I listened to constant speculation that it was going to be John Gruden. If you are a big time football program, you can hire an elite coach at any time of the year. Because big name coaches will leave whatever they are doing, at any time, to step up to a major university.
Are there better times to hire than others? Sure. But to accept that hey, the best you could do was hire a John L. Smith for 10 months? I don't get that. And I don't think any of the top half of the football schools in the SEC would have made that hire in a million years.
