I personally like head coaches that have a defensive background.


This ^ a good defense hc is better than offense hc imo. We were always told great D wins championships

7 Don’t let perfection be the enemy of very good.

IE you will never find an available coach that meets all of 1-6 so prioritize based on your specific circumstance….

At any time there are only a handful of possibilities….

Agreed. I actually think the less strings attached the better.

Disagree

People that have messed up personal lives, eventually it carries over into their job performance.

Has nothing to do with strings, has to do with having integrity, sense of family, etc.

So Bear Bryant would have been ruled out of the Alabama job. Nick Saban would have been ruled out of the LSU job. Bobby Bowden would have been ruled out of the FSU job. And Kirby Smart would have been ruled out of the Georgia job.

I think you need to possibly revise your formula.

Saban again ruled out at Bama based on no OC and record with the Dolphins.
