I like Phil Longo and think that he would be very successful right now at a Group of 5 school but it is incredibly difficult to make the jump from OC of an FCS team to OC of an SEC team; especially for someone who has never even spent time working or playing inside of an FBS program.
He might be successful for someone but I don't want to be the school to risk everything on him. There is plenty of evidence of huge risks like these working out for the hiring school, but look at the percentages - they are far outweighed by the ones who are unsuccessful.

Ben Garret just said Longo is a leading candidate.
Bears pointed out something earlier saying that his system will not prepare the players for success in the NFL, which blue chips and high stars will not like.

Gus Malzahn, Chad Morris, and Art Briles went from highschool to Ark, SMU, and Texas Tech respectively. I can't think of any that failed but then they wouldn't be memorable.
