Lebby is a good coordinator but unproven as a HC. It's still quite a bit of a crapshoot, that you could hit paydirt on or not. You can't miss in the next hire.

Guys like Cignetti, Traylor, Jonathan Smith, Chadwell, etc are your targets.

Willie Fritz is also a guy who could come in an probably stabilize the program again, but he is also not. A longterm solution at his age.

Give me Chadwell, Smith, Lebby all day. And Cignetti could be an interesting hire, although I'm not sure he's quite ready for an SEC gig.

People will want someone "with SEC ties" or "coaching roots in the south" like it's still 1995 and there's no internet, social media, NIL, and transfer portal to work with that's completely changed recruiting.

You get an exciting hire with a winning brand and the recruits will come. Pretty sure Deion had zero ties to recruiting in Colorado, the West and Midwest and he completely flipped his roster with incoming additions. You get a great coach that knows how to do more with less and wins games first, the rest will fall into place.

At least he has coordinator experience.

Sam had zero.

It’s as stable as it’s going to get, they aren’t quitting games. They’ve fought in every game we have played.

Every loss is directly on a head coach that doesn’t know what to do, combined with not recruiting a serviceable offensive line.
