Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 4835400, member: 363"] Not that many of these current MAC coaches really excite me but I see the reasoning, I think if you hire a current MAC HC or a coach at a lower level, it's so much easier for them to hit the ground running and they have guys on their current staff they can simply bring over with them, minus one of their coordinators who will most likely get the job they left behind and an assistant or two. But isn't this what we just did with Dino? I am interested in guys like Joe Brady at Buffalo if he were to have some moderate success as the interim OC for Buffalo. Dan Pitcher with the Bengals. The OC at Oregon, Leipold's OC at Kansas. Tim Cramsey OC at Memphis, they score a ton of points and his offense is clean and like top 5 in least penalties at least was last year. He's also from New Hampshire. None of these guys would come out of the gate firing, IMO as they will have an uphill battle to just get a staff together and learn the recruiting landscape etc. I mean Wildhack would need a few people to talk to who know the landscape, I think the right people know who the up and comers are. And again these types are probably boom or bust they would come at a decent price and with the right contract shouldn't be a huge deal to move on from in 3 years Or you shoot the gap with a guy who has experience as a HC but who isn't one currently like a Golden or Kyle Flood type. I guess it kind of depends what you are looking for and what route you want to take. Kind of a mess no matter what you do. a new coach is going to deal with the proverbial mass exodus as well so why not take a huge shot and give them a few years. Not 8 but 3. The portal will hurt up front but may help once coach has time to get his feet on the ground I still think Dino has a 50/50 shot at being retained as I think he will wind up 6-6. [/QUOTE]
