In a post Spurrier era, who (black or white, but no asians) is currently HoF or near HoF status?


Honestly, I wouldn't mind going up-and-comer rather than HOF bound with our next hire. Someone who is going to bring innovation and excitement to a program that has some measure of name recognition built up with our last two coaches.

My personal thinking is you can go with the up and comer after you reach the mountaintop. Until then, a bad up and comer can take you back years. Just look at Joker @ UK. Brooks got UK competitive and Joker put them back all the way to the pre Brooks years.

As for them hiring Stoops (an up and comer) UK already had the MNC with Bear Bryant in the 50's and near MNC with Fran Curci in the 70's.

In this case, SC's best move would be to hire an up and comer that loves recruiting.. SC doesn't need to hire another coach that made his name somewhere else and tries to force the same approach here. Spurrier has done GREAT things for SC, but his biggest Achilles heel is that he came to SC with the same hands off everything approach he had at Florida. SC requires a guy with his hands in EVERYTHING.

And coaches like Spurrier are already so up in age that they aren't really willing to change their approach much at this point in their careers..
