What I mean is not day dreaming about how Kirby or whoever is coming. Who is the best realistic hire for them?

1) That entire team is about to absolutely gutted Pate said they could have 30 TRANSFER PORTAL ENTERS.
2) Someone who can adapt to modern football, delegate properly like all the best do (see saban kirby etc) while he focuses on rebuilding it
3) Someone who can build a culture there that the true players have like UGA Bama OSU etc

Who would this person be? Is it possible? I’d say maybe Glen Schumann. Potentially Dukes coach whose names escapes me

We won't have 30 starters transfer. We should keep the big names. I'd say Elko is the best realistic hire.

Every realistic possibility is a crapshoot except Urban Meyer.

I don't know if it would be considered a home run but someone will grab JMU's coach soon enough. Just looking at his wiki he's currently 50-8 at JMU. He's 118-34 overall, with 17 of those losses coming at his first gig at IUP where he was 53-17.

Schuman has never been a head coach. This is not a thing, frick off, and delete your post.

I think Mike Elko would be the best/safest hire for a variety of reasons.

Schumman may be great but he has zero head coaching experience, that works out sometimes (ala Kirby) but often doesn't.

Elko already knows a lot about the A&M landscape and could retain a lot of the good pieces.

BFANLC isn't coaching atm and needs a stupid bunch of money thrown his way.

Elko is probably the safe bet.

Idiot AD that painted them into a corner with Jimbo has screwed up any reasonable possibility of a reasonable hire. Bjork screwed it up worse with an extension. Probably only way out of this is hire someone that looks to be an up and comer, roll the dice and hope and pray for the best.

Jimbo was a home run . Tom Herman was a home run. Rich Rod was a home run. The list goes on and on.

I don’t recall seeing Kalen DeBoer on any of the recent SEC coaching searches, but he’s doing just fine.

Fact is no one is a home run. LSU chased the white whale, and the jury is still out.

I think we hire Elko, keep Robinson as defensive coordinator and hire either Will Stein from Oregon or Warren Ruggiero from Wake Forest; with Ruggiero the more likely given the obvious history with Elko.

There will be attrition. The question to think about is; would it be more or less if we kept Fisher? I think it’s a coin flip.

We have to think strategically and long term. A hire for the long term growth of the program. That means not sweating the attrition and plowing ahead.
