We are in a league where we should not be using our coordinator positions to provide on the job training for brand new coordinators. I don't know who the right hire is but that person should have extensive coordinator experience against teams that provide a high level of competition. That person should also have good interpersonal skills to mesh well with the existing staff. We have plenty of money in our assistant coaching staff budget to pay experienced coordinators well.

I don’t know. Fisher tends to hire those who give him a hard time on the field. There are several names that come to mind because of that but would love to see Arnett from MSU. At the very least Robinson will be promoted to co-DC

Georgia did it with Dan Lanning, and Clemson with both Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott on the offensive side of the ball. Heck, Notre Dame did it with Clark Lea after Elko left there. If we only had a top 50ish defense, maybe I would be looking to trade up. We have had uncanny coaching stability since Jimbo got here. Given our results under Elko I would value continuity in scheme and terminology over play calling experience.

That statement is just untrue and made in ignorance. First of all when programs promote from within it is a sign of their strength and not weakness. Second, the best candidate gets the job. If he’s already on our staff then I don’t care about the amount of coordinator experience. We have one of the best defenses in the country, 3 defensive players on the all SEC Fr team, and the potential #1 recruiting class loaded with defensive talent. Every available DC in the country should want to coach here.
And as far as recruiting, Elko’s departure should not affect recruiting. He is an elite game day coach and he excels at player development, but I don’t think he was integral to the staff in recruiting beyond the fact that the players love him.
