Hack's a lot more interesting now than he was even two months ago and I have a mini-man crush on Shafer, but HOLY DAR DAR UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD EITHER BE THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB AND IF YOU REALLY THINK THAT PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR OTTO COSTUME AND BREATHE. 
 
Promoting Shafer or Hack would be an absolute panic move. We're better than that. And if we're not, then Marrone failed as coach because if a panic move is our best move he hasn't raised our profile one bit when coupled with going to the ACC, and losing him amounts to nothing.
 
The smart move here, if we have to find a new coach, is to go out and find the best college head coach we can. That likely means someone that has experience. That likely means someone that has had some success. That likely means someone that brings a little something extra to the table to energize fans. That likely means someone that has experience working in less than ideal circumstances, and succeeding in spite of them. That likely means somebody that has connections to the areas we recruit.
 
I'd bet on the farm on Bobby Wilder at Old Dominion.

He built a program from nothing and has gone 38 and 10 as head coach. I'm not exaggerating on "building from nothing" - Old Dominion didn't have a football program. He recruits the Atlantic area. His QB threw for 5000 yards this past season. 
 
Someone else mentioned him earlier this week. I'm sold. 
 
Take a walk on the Wilder side, my friends.
