There are plenty of great coordinators who have made great head coaches. Only uninformed posters would even suggest otherwise. I can go right down that list of coaches and cast great doubt on the possibility they are SMU's next Coach
First of all I watch enough football and grew up playing the game so i know there are plenty of head coaches who made the transition. All of them had to at some point.
Unfortunately this little school we went to called SMU tried that before and screwed it up. Since you're the self proclaimed expert you probably know that. Therefore, we need to try something new. If we were a school that had not lost for the last 20 years, we could afford to take the coordinator risk again.
The risk needs to be limited with this hire by hiring someone with experience. If you're the board of a computer company and you're fighting to keep the doors open/catch up to the competition, do you
A. Hire a very sharp recent graduate as your new CEO to save the business?
B. Hire a CEO with experience, who has gone into other struggling
computer companies and turned the business around?
Maybe you will get my point a little better now that i've broken it down into little wittle baby bite size bites for your miniature horse mouth(stallion).
That company would promote someone from within. We aren't talking about a computer company. It is not that complicated as SMU makes it look. That is the problem. Nobody wants this computer company! Go against the grain and do something different.
