Holiday is intriguing, but he is older than I'd like.

58, so he could have a 7-8 year run before the "he's about to retire crowd' gets vocal.

Some key things about his resume, besides being 26-6 the past 3 years, are:

2000–2004 NC State (AHC/WR)
2005–2007 Florida (AHC/S/RC)
2008–2009 West Virginia (AHC/TE/FB/RC)

At NCState, he was the one who discovered and recruited Philip Rivers, he also didn't have a losing season there and built them into a respectable program under Amato. They were recruiting well those years.

2005-2007 at UF as the Recruiting Coordinator...they won the BCS in '06 and '08 with the guys he was helping Meyer bring in.

As the AHC and RC for 2 years at WVU, he went 9-4 both years AND helped build the team that destroyed clemson with 70 points in the Orange bowl the year after he left.

He's a VERY good evaluator of talent.
