Not sure a big name guy who was successful at a football factory with all the resources in the world is the kind of guy we need to be looking at. I'm thinking a young, up and coming, eternal optimist/salesman is what is needed (not to mention a staff of like minded guys). This ain't bball where a player or two can lead to immediate success. This is going to be an uphill battle and we need to make believers of our current players, students, recruits and prospective fans to turn this thing around.
Let's just get a coach that knows how to recruit and win. There has to be more Art Briles and Gary Patterson types out there just waiting for their chance.
