Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 1203861, member: 309"] The problem is, who is truly a proven commodity? Michigan, ND and Florida are high profile programs who have the $$ to hire just about anybody, and yet they have whiffed on their choices - Michigan twice (first with Rich Rod) and the ND faithful haven't been happy since Lou Holtz left (they suffered through Jerry Faust before that). There are plenty of other examples. Then there are guys like Marrone and Bill O'Brien, who found some success but left to coach in the NFL, or coaches like James Franklin and Brian Kelly, who bolted teams comparable to SU (Vandy and Cincy) to go to bigger programs.
