Obvious that the mind set is to find a DC. 2 of those 3 names are coaching in the playoffs, and the other beat the other 2 this year.
Are we sure this is panic time? Or is this an overreaction to the week weve had and not getting a name that starts with Gru or is a pirate?
I don't think it's an overreaction.
I think it's the proper reaction to seeing countless other schools 1. Identify the coach they want. 2. Get it done in a reasonable, timely fashion.
We've been at this for three weeks and we have a list of "maybe they might be good candidates" while other schools have gotten who they wanted...while, whether it's Gruden, Kiffin, Leach, Miles, Sumlin, Gundy, Mullens, Kelly, Taggert, Frost, Tee Martin, Norvell, Strong, etc...we get guys that haven't been solid HC's before and the vast majority of those just mentioned didn't even interview.
I think it is fair to be unhappy, angry even, regarding the cluster F this search has been. If you aren't angry then you have let them make you apathetic, maybe numb.
