You need a program builder. It's going to have to be someone who is young enough to still be a go getter and yet someone who has extensive experience in a variety of football organizations. It's going to have to be someone who is used to doing more with less and who has enough connections to bring in some impressive young go getter coordinators and assistants. If they don't show to the interview with a spiral bound book with "the plan" a la Al Golden or like our coach Trent Miles did then thank them for their time and go to the next one. We are not talking about fixing offense or defense here. You have to take this house down to the studs and start over. He is going to have to have an attitude about recruiting that every 3* along I-20 in AL is his. He is going to have to fight for private money to renovate the practice facilities he has since he can't build new ones. It may be an FCS HC we are talking about. If it is a coordinator he HAS to have leadership experience. No time for on the job training.

Can you lead our search. Please. LOL

While I don't doubt what he saying is true, there are people interested in the job that kind of fit the profile he mentions.......will we get the perfect coach? No, but at least we will more than likely upgrade over the last HC.
