Vibes and acumen. Good combo in college football. Somebody's gonna kick the tires one day and in a year like this year where you're starting at a pile of mid i think there's much worse experiments to run than the super bowl winning hard nosed cool guy with connections.

Again, what acumen and what vibes? The last time he was a successful HC was when George Bush was priming the nation about the 9/11 attacks. He just came off a 3-year stint at Oakland where he had 0 winning seasons, so the most recent sample on him is underwhelming. He has ZERO collegiate resume whatsoever.

Your idea on his "vibes" is basically driven by nothing other than the fact that he smartly placed himself into the media spotlight and has made a living by throwing his name out in NCAA and NFL coaching searches for the last ~15 years, which is the only reason why he is even still relevant at all. He just markets himself, that's it.

P4 head coaches:

Kiffin (make him say no one more time)

Dilly Dilly (I doubt he leaves ASU, he graduated there and was raised in the valley).

Key

Lashlee (not sure he is worth the price he would require)

Lea

Drinkwitz (I am meh on him, even though he has done well).

G5 Head coaches:

Jon Sumrall

Eric Morris at North Texas (#2 offense in FBS football).

Alex Golesh at USF

Bob Chesney at JMU (top 10 total defense, top 30 offense in FBS). Has won everywhere he has been and is not yet 50.

P4 offensive coordinators:

Will Stein at Oregon

Brian Hartline at OSU

Mike Shanahan at Indiana

Kirby Moore at Mizzou (he runs the offense independent of Drink).

P4 defensive coordinators:

DJ Durkin - Has to be first choice. Ohio St. wanted him, every other coach knows what he can do. We are lucky a candidate like him is on staff already.

Shiel Wood at Texas Tech - Has them 6th in total D and 5th in scoring D nationally. Was a Broyles finalist at Tulane under Fritz. 43 years old.

If we hire Drink or Durkin, we'll be right here again in a couple of years.

Should be Morris or Sumerall

I have no idea about Morris but Sumrall is a no for me simply because his OC was Chad Morrris’s OC at SMU and Arky and I want nothing to do with the Chad Morris tree.

Alright, we’re back (should have happened last year). Welcome to the becoming much too reoccurring daily

WEP’s Top 5 Coaching Candidates

1. Dan Lanning (have to make him say no)

2. Jon Gruden

4. Jon Sumrall

5. Charles Kelly

Tune in daily for an updated list. WDE!

I hope you’re trolling. If not, you’re an idiot

Google said one of the top questions was if he was still sober

That same question also applies to Sarkisian and Kiffin, and several other names that have been discussed.

I wonder how many people will be wrong about their guy this time.

That has worked out just phenomenally for North Carolina so far huh?
