re: The Official Coaching Search Thread- updates in OP

Although it's possible, I don't see Kelly coming here. He has no ties to the South, and I'm sure at least one more high profile job would be available. I could even see Oregon taking him back before him coming here.

Also, I don't get the love for Herman, Morris, or Smart.

Herman - has coached a whopping 5 games as a HC. He also only coached under Meyer for 2-3 years, so can't even really claim him under his coaching tree which has been successful. I'd like to see what he does for a couple years first.

Morris - see Herman (although I think he was the HC at Tulsa for a bit?) I know SMU is a tough place to coach, but has he even won a game this year? Also a member of the Malzahn coaching tree, and we are watching that disaster unfold as we speak.

Smart - never been a HC and has been a DC under one of the GOAT for a number of years now. 1 - how much has really been him? 2 - I'm sure he's had offers; why hasn't he taken any?

I like Steve Addazio, although he's a bit older than we should shoot for. Didn't know much about Fuente until these threads started, but he's growing on me. I think we should give Dantonio a call out of respect, but I don't see him leaving.
