Wrong. Meyer won a national championship. Herman was a part of that, but not the sole reason. Don't get me wrong, I like Herman. He'll be a great coach one day. I don't understand why Mizzou can't target him.

So then I'll ask you the same question I haven't gotten anyone to answer on either board.

Today you have two candidates.

2000 Gary Pinkel.
Or
2015 Matt Rhule.

Who do you hire?

Sure it matters. It's not the defining mark, but it matters.

And I'm not sure that a .500 coaching record qualifies for the title "proven winner."

Well, if Matt Rhule beats Houston this coming weekend and wins the AAC...he and Gary Pinkel would pretty much be neck and neck as far as candidates go.

Pinkel did very well at Mizzou. Rhule could do just as well or better.

GP, he was an assistant on championship team. Also had about a 10 year run as a HC. With a few 10 win seasons. When the season was 11 games. And at a time with less parity.

He had 10 years as OC/QB coach at FSU. Yes. That's not head coaching experience.

But I would take long looks at any 10 year coordinator from a top 20 P5 program.

1 year of success at Temple isn't near the success Pinkel had at Toledo.

He spent the previous ten years at P5 Florida State under Bobby Bowden, seven of those as his OC.

You get me a coordinator like that and I'll be happy. A lot happier than this schmo at Temple coming in.

Yes he was. Yet, he never won a national championship at Mizzou nor a conference championship.

Herman was with Meyer last year when Ohio State won a national championship. Doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion that Herman will win a national championship too.

Odom doesn't have anything to show other than a tenacity to "one day be a head coach" and a couple of top 25 ranked defenses (which like I've said before is impressive but not as impressive as solid head coaching experience).

Or equal the amount of on the job training he got from a NC winning head coach.

Hold on a sec...if Rhule wins his conference this weeken, it took him 3 years to do that. I'd argue that Rhule winning it in 3 years at a shite school like Temple was just as successful as Pinkel taking 5 years to win his conference at Toledo.

Winning a NC is difficult. I'd like our guy to have been someone that did it's right hand man.

Winning a college football NC is likely the hardest thing for a program to do the first time in all sports. Having a guy that's sat in the office for a few years with a guy that's done it means a lot to me.

A lot more than flipping Temple from the trash heap to the top of their division.

If Rhule hadn't leaked his name to the press, would there be a single person clamoring for him?

This really turned into the lesser of two evils quickly. Rhule needs to take his job at Maryland and let our fans get back to where they need to be. Thinking realistically.

Just like Pinkel, huh?

I agree because it takes a bit of luck too.

So you'd rather just rehire Pinkel, right?

Well that's pretty damn impressive especially since Temple is beating teams like Memphis, Toledo, and potentially Houston this weekend.

Yes. And it would be justified too.
