I understand, but like I said in the other Fleck thread, the MAC coaches du jour that have been hired elsewhere have actually played for the conference title with other not-so-great programs.

he looks like he's on the way this year

but even within the MAC, WMU is a bottom feeder. he's not running NIU or CMU or one of the other MAC programs with some history of success. we have to keep that in mind

that doesn't always translate. just look at Franklin and his issues at PSU (Vandy is probably the SEC equivalent so it shows that this kind of momentum may fail even in bigger conferences)

again, I'm saying he's not ready for prime time but he should be the super clear-cut #1 option for any mid-tier BCS program looking for a coach, esp if they're in the midwest. if he can do well there and adapt to the higher pressure/media/booster influence, then i think he's going to be the clear-cut #1 guy for a top 10 BCS program in 3-4 years

Absolutely, all of this.

I was called ignorant in the other Fleck thread for saying he wasn't ready for the LSU job though.
