re: Realistic coaching candidates

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but when I see current head coaches in the Big 12 or ACC mentioned as possibilities--I'm truly puzzled. I don't like dwelling on so many negatives, but I think many of you are unrealistic right now about our place in college football.

Why would a head coach in either of those conferences want to come to one of the worst programs in the meat grinder that is the SEC? This isn't being negative, but that's what we have been for the most part since Petrino got fired. We may be the worst just above Vandy. Say what you will about Mizzou, but they have beaten us way more than we've beaten them and they just knocked off a ranked team yesterday.


What would be the incentive for them to make that move other than money and conference status? They have it easier where they are. Our big-money donors either can't or aren't willing to spend the money to get the best players in here.

Seems to me that our best, most realistic options would either be a HC from a really good mid-major i.e. Chadwell or a great coordinator/assistant from a successful program who's also a great recruiter.
