re: My absolute perfect scenario given the circumstances surrounding Herman

Recruiting for one...and are you seriously wanting to teach the players a new system/philosophy next year, just to bring in someone else with a completely different system the next year?

I'm thinking its not as different as it seems. Also, like I said, it would give us the best guy, and the guy who would be here long term, and not risk hiring just whos available for the sake of having a coach.

A coaches first year is usually not their best, because they are getting their players and philosophy installed. You would be wasting next year.

Not always. Larry Coker won a national championship at Miami in his first year as head coach.

Les Miles went 11-2 and 11-2 in his first two years at LSU.


Jim Harbaugh went 10-3 at Michigan in his first year.


Urban meyer went 12-0 in his first year at Ohio State.
