Worth bringing his name up. Has had success as a 1-A head coach and helped build the program at Louisville. Not my first, second, or even third choice, but worth a look. Would rather have him over an up and coming cordinator.

At the very least he would deliver highly entertaining press conferences.

If you want a team that's undisciplined and consistently leads your conference in penalties per game, then he is your man.

Bad coach.

I wouldn't mind him. He graduates his players.

But he is a protege of Dennis Erickson...
