[Hoo's That]

Imagine if all this buyout money went to educating students. <cue john lennon>

Unfortunately, there are few athletic deep pockets who would even spend a nanosecond to consider contributing to the academic side of the house, especially in the SEC and B1G.

If I am Perv St - I go after Kelly before I hire Ruhl.

With his dances with recruits, he is eminently qualified

NO Fran Brown. But there is Dan Mullen.

I still think the way to go is most qualified alumnus and spend money on Coordinators.

For example for LSU shouldn't your #1 target be the Detroit Lions DC? He is young and rising in the coaching ranks. Then get the best OC you can buy. That will be cheaper than giving a long term contract the the big name guy who might not fit (see BK).

Fact is there isn’t really any proven hires any program can make. No one has really proven themselves in the new college football era. The ADs especially at LSU, Florida, and Penn State are in an awful position. Likely going to be forced to make a hire for appeasement and not the actual best hire because even the best hire would likely be unproven. I personally like the positioning we are in right now long term which includes keeping Fran and in the ACC. I actually feel like the future of the ACC lately is more optimistic.

That's because there only like three or four coaches that actually matter. The rest are just banking on timing and luck.

Saban, Meyer, and Harbaugh win everywhere (and the last two cheat).

The rest, just a roll of the dice. A smart AD will hire some up and comer from a lower level school for pennies on the dollar and then "give" that coach what it would cost to hire a Kelly or Franklin to buy players (let's be honest, it isn't NIL).

I don't think Fran Brown is a very good coach (maybe he'll get there - he's green and growing). But he's about the best recruiter there is, which makes up for some of the University's resource deficiencies.
