All things being equal, I'd like a guy with Bama ties, too. Who wouldn't? But all things aren't equal and there's not a name on the rumored list that has credentials as a head coach and Bama ties too. And with me, resume' wins over relations 10 times out of 10.

This. All things AREN'T equal. And a connection to the University should be the absolute LAST criteria ever in a coaching search.

Mike Dubose and Mitch Gaspard should be enough of a reminder to anyone that forcing a UA hire over more qualified candidates is absolutely stupid.

ETA - I like the idea of hiring Bohannon.
