Big time programs that have hired assistant coaches...

LSU fans are probably still gun shy about hiring a coordinator to take over the program due to how the Mike Archer era ended. What major schools have hired/promoted coaches without head coaching experience and how did they fare?
Coaches that have done well:
Bob Stoops at Oklahoma
Mark Richt at Georgia
Lloyd Carr at Michigan
Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia
Mike Leach at Texas Tech
And not so well:
Ron Zook at Florida
Mike Archer at LSU
Mike Shula at Alabama
Larry Coker at Miami did well, then fizzled.
Who else? I guess I am hoping to make the point that we shouldn't eliminate coordinators from the potential candidate pool because of what happened with Archer.

Fulmer was hired from within. 1 NC
Carr was hired from within. 1 NC
Croom was an asst in Green Bay and is turning MSU around.
Wasn't BC's coach an asst before this year?
Petrino was an asst before Louisville.
Arnsparger was an asst before coming here.

I thought he had no HC exp. either, but he'd actually coached at some smaller schools before WV.

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?

Charles McClendon, LSU (I know it goes back a ways, but he's directly relevant, school-wise and my personal favorite.)
