If we miss on a top existing coach Gruden, Mora, Stoops, Strong, then I am all for going for a top NFL assistant in Greg Roman or Mike McCoy.
Some will disagree, and I totally understand that, but I just think after the top teir, we are better off going down to NFL Assistants and look for a rising star.
Just a thought on Sumlin.
Chizik won with cam.
Sumlin may turn out to be an awesome coach in the SEC. But when you have a playmaking game-changing stud at QB you can win a lot of games
Manziel shouldn't be in the same breath as newton. Newton is the best college football player I've ever seen. Literally won a nc by himself
That's how I feel. Its not realistic anymore to expect a coach to stay somewhere for 10 years.
Kinda similar to the urbs. Won big with Alex smith and Tebow (won one yr with leake/Tebow). After Tebow left though he was borderline .500. Now this yr he has Braxton miller. (And he's in the big 10)And he is undefeated again.
I agree with sojme of the things said in this conversation but the biggest change is the pace and time required for coaching college football. I believe it is unrealistic for most successful head coaches to maintain that pace for more than 7 to 10 years. Beyond that, they need to take a year off or make a change. That is the model of the future.
