Is there really one of those over there?
I don't think most are judging by the paint job, more like the top end speed( one season as an OC where his team cracked 30 ppg) and apparent mechanical problems( been part of at least three coaches getting fired not including himself and been out of coaching for 2+ years).
I'm not a proponent of DeBord necessarily, nor am I an opponent.
I do know that if most here were correct in their assessment of a coach; Butch would've never have been able to recruit with a losing season; the defense wouldn't have improved from year 1-2 because Jancek 'failed' at Georgia; Sal Sunseri would've been Dooley's savior; Will Muschamp would've been a home run hire before Dooley; Gruden who has never been a HC in college and hasn't coached in years was the perfect fit at UT; Bajakian was so awful he should be fired (instead of getting a look for a CFB HC, and hired as position coach in the NFL); Butch and his staff can't recruit in the SEC, because Big East; the list is endless. The one consistent thing is that what the guru's here believe to be the important factor, rarely is.

I think Magee is the best name I've heard for the job. Mangus is second.
But Debord would also be a great hire.
Who hasn't coached in 7+ years? I believe that Gruden has just been 6+, but I would have to look it up.As tight as the "coaching circle" is in all sports, if you have not had an opportunity to coach somewhere in 7+ years, there is usually a REALLY GOOD reason for it. We have finally started moving a few steps forward, now is not the time to take a step backwards.
