“Won a national championship” is not an automatic home run hire

In the past 12 years the SEC has been home to the following coaches that won national championships exactly once:
Gene Chizin
Ed Orgeron
Jumbo Fisher
They all have in common needing an amazing QB to bail them out; all of them were mediocre at BEST once said QB was gone.
Kelly, who has not won a national title yet, was a much better hire. Kirby was a DC when he was hired as an HC, and he’s won a ton plus a title of his own.
I simply remember when talking heads would talk about how many coaches who were in the SEC who had won a national title. Who cares when you’re in the same club as Orgeron and Chizik?

BOB and Goldberg won't have to worry about that.

You’re going to confuse Diddler with this thread. It is way too intelligent.

Just to clarify, you're talking about winning a National Championship as a HC, right? Well one of those 3 listed isn't like the others. jimbo won his at FSU, while Gene and Ed won theirs in the SEC.
And LSU was mediocre because Burrow left... it was because he went pro, and Clyde, and Jefferson, and so forth.

My point is that Ed had Joe, Gene had Cam, and Jimbo had Jameis.

Only one of those were hired post winning a NC. And not that many coaches have won a NC that are looking for jobs. You could have mentioned Mack Brown and Les.

Jimbo is the only one that was hired post NC! And Les didn’t have a QB like those guys did
