1: I want a coach  who also played at a high level. QB would be great i also like OL as they both require a ton of thinking vs just reacting.
 
2: I would love to have someone come from a football family. Kinda like a good hunting dog, bloodlines do matter.
 
3: A history of success.
 
4: Success with less.  By this i mean  have they won against superior talent vs because of superior talent.
 
5: Are they a teacher, do they have the respect of their peers
 
6: Experiance and connections both for recruiting and for hiring coaches.
 
7: Passion and fire. Not crazy but passion like we saw out of Doug the second half of this year passion.
 
8: Family guy.
 
Ok with that i think i have found a potential coach for us.
 
This coach played QB in HS. Was given a full ride to a D1 school and did well until an injury caused him to transfer to a lower division school. He ran the run and shoot O as a QB which i like as i want a guy who will take advantage of what we have started.
 
After school he became a grad assistant and did well.  He moved onto a series of assistant coaching jobs and at each stop made his side of the ball much better. At one stop at a lower level D1 school he actually coached them into a top 20 spot beating  Alabama, Maryland, and Iowa State in the same year. He has been a coordinator at two of the top football and academic institutions in the country and has recruiting and coaching contacts from coast to coast.  He is a teacher of football and is considred one of the best coaches at clinics to the point that he has 8 dvd's on coaching to his credit.
 
He currently is coaching at a strong university in the east and has taken his unit rankings from being the 101st worst unit in all of college football to the top 20 in 4 years. 
 
Please Doc if Doug realizes his dream and moves on the NFL dont wait more than a day to name Scott Shafer our next head coach.
