I'm not sure I agree about the part of having to have previous HC experiences and a track record of success. By insisting on that as a qualification you are looking at an extremely small pool of candidates. I'd also argue that success outside of an FBS conference as a HC is not correlative of success within an FBS conference unless the guy is the cream of the crop that all of the big boys want.  I don't think SU can compete with all of the other openings out there if we are just looking at HC's with track records of success.  I'm not saying don't talk to them but I think an equally likely bet is an innovative OC who knows how to put points on the board and knows how to recruit. We need to think out of the box here. For the record I don't remember Marrone ever being a HC before he got Syracuse and that was working out ok until he left.

I'd also add as criteria:
 - someone who is able to assemble a really good coaching staff
- someone who has demonstrated that they are able to fit their system to the talents of the team and not force a system on the players
- someone who has shown that they learn from their mistakes
