I agree with this. Want someone who has a good track record.

That statement is just untrue and made in ignorance. First of all when programs promote from within it is a sign of their strength and not weakness. Second, the best candidate gets the job. If he’s already on our staff then I don’t care about the amount of coordinator experience. We have one of the best defenses in the country, 3 defensive players on the all SEC Fr team, and the potential #1 recruiting class loaded with defensive talent. Every available DC in the country should want to coach here.

And as far as recruiting, Elko’s departure should not affect recruiting. He is an elite game day coach and he excels at player development, but I don’t think he was integral to the staff in recruiting beyond the fact that the players love him.

Who else runs a 4-2-5 that we might consider?

Didn't Gary Patterson run a 4-2-5?

Patterson is washed. TCU's D has been trash for a while now.

I'm thinking Robinson. It aligns with the culture piece. Work hard, make it happen. Earn the job.

I am not throwing any shade on our position coaches. I am also not saying we should never promote internally. I am saying we have to be careful promoting somebody to be a first time coordinator because of the level of competition we face in the SEC.

Which of these statements do you think is false?

It is a major transition from position coach to first time coordinator.

We won't know how well a position coach will transition to the first time coordinator position until we see them do it.

I am sure Coach Fisher will make a great hire. He will have no shortage of qualified applicants interested in the position.

These decisions are like international policy. We as constituents don't have enough info to really have an opinion.

How involved has the internal candidate been in high level decisions? Was that input valuable? Have we run Good on good with them as acting DC?

I'm not stating a preference at all, just saying it wouldn't surprise me, and is consistent with the rest of the pitch.
