At the end of the day State is a job where you have to take risks with any hire. We can’t hire a slam dunk, sure to succeed, sitting head coach. The candidate pool is always going to be active/former P5 head coaches with baggage, a rising P5 coordinator, or a G5 head coach.

State wanted a guy that would fix the offense and get fans excited. For whatever reason, in this cycle most of the HC’s interested in this job were defensive guys (Sumrall, Odom, etc).

There are a lot of parallels to Lebby and 2008 Dan Mullen. I think the hope is that Lebby gives State a similar jolt of energy.
