The Dubose hire is probably the closest comparison to Orgeron you can historically find.

They hired a nobody to run a pretty well developed program just because he was a fan favorite cuz he was "family"

At least Orgeron on has a little HC experience though.

Phil Fulmer is another good comparison...

A lot of fans thought carrying on the "developed program", (but hopefully with a more proficient offense than Stallings would run) would work, more so than because it was DuBose. He was a darn good defensive line coach and a pretty good defensive co-ordinator.

as someone who wanted Dubose the fact he played for Bama was just lagniappe. I wanted him because he was a damn good defensive coordinator
