From my understanding of the situation, Napier has turned them down twice, Chiz withdrew, and the Army and Air Force guys aren’t legitimate candidates. Sark and Grantham are really the only two realistic possibilities at the moment. I’m sure they are scrambling for other possibilities as they need this settled now because it’s starting to resemble UT’s last search fiasco.

I'm with the folks who are tired of huge staff turnover. I wonder how this would make Bryce feel?

That's the part I don't like, because they took our best coordinator.

If he is so desperate for an HC gig that he would take that position he needs to go. He really can’t be trusted and has already proved it several times. No need in delaying the inevitable.

If Grantham wants it after being there as DC, then he's probably the guy they should hire if continuity is also their goal. If Sark does well there (relative to how difficult it is to win there) Sark would probably have more suitors wanting to hire him away than Grantham would if he did equally well. Sark's time in the NFL and with Saban and his broad recruiting reach would be appealing to good programs nation wide.

It's just not a pretty situation to walk into. The roster, particularly on offense, doesn't look like something you'll be able to really make work from day 1, a big reason Moorhead got fired was apparently a bunch of inmates running the asylum type off field issues, and the fanbase still hasn't really come down off of the high from Mullen and remembered that 6-6 or 7-5 isn't that bad at State relative to their unfortunate program history. Walking into that is just begging to be on the hot seat going into year 3 after a couple of 4-8/5-7 type seasons.
