Except that every successful coaching hire since 2000 (2+ BCS/CFP appearances from coach) has come from these groupings / don't meet your criteria

- Promoted Coordinator/ position coach
- Top coordinator at other school
- Hired non P5 coach
- CFB coaches who washed out of NFL (No current candidates)


There are 3 notable exceptions, these guys wouldn't meet your criteria though

LSU - Les Miles hired from Okie St after win% of 57%
LSU - Nick Saban hired from Mich St after win% of 57%
OSU - Urban Meyer hired from "retirement"


Highest profile hires directly from P5 schools have failed

Ark - Bret Bielema 3 BCS at Wisc, 0 at Ark
USC - Lane Kiffin from UTk
Mich - Rich Rodriguez 2 BCS at WVU
