Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 3958021, member: 5685"] There is a dearth of quality HCs in CFB. Even the big programs are having issues. Part of the problem is the constant merry go round. But you don't keep a bad HC because of that. However, you could keep a decent HC and make changes. I am not sure Dino is a decent HC at this point. He needs to prove it the rest of the season. Recruiting wise we are now in decent shape on O outside of WR. So there is a foundation there. On D we are in great shape in our back 8, but the DL is a "?". Is DIno making inroads with local HS coaches? That to me would be a factor. The D coaching looks to be good. The O coaching is a mess, we need a new system if Dino stays. STs need to be fixed. If Dino is not the guy where do we go? Retreads tend to not work out. There usually is a reason the HC was fired. Cutcliffe is a rare exception. Does Moorhead fit the retread since he was only there 2 seasons and not fired for sucking? HC returns tend to not work out. Mack Brown seems to be going well though. Marrone is still young. Would he be committed this time? If Bill OBrien gets a new NFL job and wants Marrone as OC, are we in trouble? A former NFL HC might work as they are superior X and O wise to CFB HCs. But you always need to worry about them going back to the NFL. And can they recruit? The G5 seems to be tapped out. Leipold would have been nice if not for Les Miles. I think Mike Houston has potential but needs a least 2 years of success. Chuck Martin could work. I don't like Candle at all, Toledo has been solid but nothing special. I wish we could get a guy with NE recruiting ties but there doesn't seem to be any. An assistant at a major program like Addazio or Hafley were. We probably need a guy who has run a program before (HC experience) given our situation. We cannot have a revolving door. It is too hard to find decent HCs time and again. It will eventually catch up to you. We are in a crappy situation and I hope that Dino can figure it out but I am not sure he can. I am not giving up on him yet. For me it isn't obvious like it was for GRob or Shafer. But it wouldn't take much to push me over the edge. [/QUOTE]
