Somebody may have done this already but I thought it would be interesting to look at the Power 5 coaches who didn't have head coaching experience before their current jobs. I believe I have everyone on the list. Note: Bill Snyder didn't have experience the first time he started at Kansas State but obviously did the second time so he's not on the list. Jim Mora Jr didn't have college experience but did have pro head coaching experience with the Falcons and Seahawks.

My preference is to get a guy with head coaching experience but I just thought it would be interesting to look at the varying degrees of success. Many of these guys have turned our really successful (but with more resources than Syracuse can probably provide) while some are still to be determined... and Kyle Flood.

David Beaty, Kansas

Derek Mason, Vanderbilt

Pat Narduzzi, Pittsburgh

Kevin Wilson, Indiana

Mark Stoops, Kentucky

Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech

Kyle Flood, Rutgers

Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern

Dan Mullen, Mississippi State

Kyle Whittingham, Utah

Bronco Mendenhall, BYU

Bob Stoops, Oklahoma

Gary Patterson, TCU

Jimbo Fisher,Florida State

Mark Helfrich, Oregon

David Shaw, Stanford

Dabo Swinney, Clemson

Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State
