Look I can get the it takes 3 to 5 years to build a program up talk in some cases that's true hover if you find the right guy the results can be immediate.

Now is he a rarity? yes most likely
Does he win immediately? .yes he does
Did he leave places quickly to go to better places ? Yes he did
To the fans that say we want stability and don't want to hire someone who just use us as a stepping stone let me ask would you have taken say three years of around ten wins with an offensive mastermind in the last 15 years of futility?
The points being good coaches don't need 3 years or 5 years to make a team better and they don't need there own 4ecruiting classes and they don't need to be at Ohio state or Florida to make there team better. All 5hey need is to coach them up and go.
Now some good coaches leave those rebuild jobs and the next coach isn't as good and can't build off that success and the team falls flat but some build off that and just continue on.
We have had 15 years of mediocrity I suspect we are in for a few more on the current path, I'll take the chance of hiring one of these young hotshot to get 2-3 years of exciting winning football and if he uses that as a stepping stone to Alabama ,usc or Ohio state well let's hire the next young hot shot, I would like to see some excitement about ThE program.
