Whomever it will be has to have a minimum of 3 yrs head coaching experience, believes in a special teams coach, and hopefully wants to stay 10-15 years like HCGP did.

Here's a good read on Clawson.

IMO sounds like exactly what we need here.

"If they're not going to play significant snaps, we try to redshirt them," he said. "In the conference we play some pretty good football teams. I don't know if we're going to beat Clemson and Florida State on a lot of recruits. One of the ways we try to close the gap is on player development." For that, Clawson turns to a strength and conditioning coach that he's trusted for the better part of the last 12 years in Brandon Hourigan. He's a guy that allows Clawson and his staff to take some chances on undersized prospects because he knows he can trust in their strength development within the program. "I've always used the guideline, is he going to help us win or help us survive?" said Clawson. "I've felt if he's going to help us win then it's not fair to the player to redshirt him. If just going to help us survive, it's not fair to the player to play him because then you're sacrificing the long term goal of the program. I've had so many players where that fifth year is where it clicks." At the Florida States or Clemsons of the world, redshirt seniors are typically the career special teams players that haven't caught the eye of NFL scouts. At Wake Forest they're the stars. Cornerback Kevin Johnson was a first-round draft pick out of Wake in 2015 after finishing his fifth year in Winston Salem. Brandon Chubb went to the NFL a year later as a fifth year all-conference performer. As Clawson enters his fourth season year at Wake, all that roster patience is starting to pay off and yet there's still room for growth. There are only 10 seniors on the 2017 roster – six of them redshirts. The 2018 season could have as many as 23 seniors, all of them players recruited by Clawson.

That is an approach, maybe the only approach, that will work here.

Add him to the list.

Normally, I'd say this is exactly the type of guy that we need but right now I'm thinking we need more of a energy type coach because the program is in the tank. I'm not sure a development guy is going to be given enough leash right now by the fans.

Nonetheless, an interesting name for sure.

How much is he making?

Look for Major Applewhite... Read this on another board..

Our next head coach

Read through it. Impressive history. And we have a great experience with coaches from there.

Can't miss.

worked for KSU, sorta.

Im pretty heavy on the Frank Wilson bandwagon at this point. I'd like a little more experience, but I think we are somewhat going to have to take a chance and this guy just screams future star.

Both candidates are intriguing, Wilson alittle more. Also wish he had more experience, but that SEC recruiting should highly be noted.

Wilson doesn't really run the offense there, which isn't a bad thing imo. I really like HCs to leave the play calling to the coordinators.

Watched some of their highlights on YouTube. They look like they blend pro style and spread, I did see several snaps under center. Not sure if that it his philosophy or his OC, but I'm a fan. Couldn't really figure out if they were a super tempo team. I hope not. I'm pretty much done with that.

ETA:

Found a full game on YouTube and watched a couple series. They don't huddle, but they also don't try to snap the ball every 5 seconds. Liking him more the more I dig into him.
