how can you accurately analyze what he's done this year? any one of those coaches at OU could do what he's done so far. can he sustain it? imo, you can't accurately judge a coach until you see progress on the field. OU was already good. plus, there's no way he leaves OU after just one season. see willie taggart.

100%, and it also matters what the talent, age and state the previous HC left the program. Who the frick knows how good of a coach someone is when they take over a successful program?

After year 2 with Muschamp, you would have thought he was a genius -- but if you paid attention you'd know that he did it with a championship level defense that he didn't recruit or really develop.

Right now, even Charlie Strong to me feels like a better fit than most other candidates -- he runs a spread offense and seems to be doing pretty well for himself at USF, but he also did well at Louisville.

1 season for taking over a team that was already championship level doesn't tell us anything whatsoever.

Although I will say: He is playing a shite ton of transfers, looking at the depth chart.
