I agree. I just think in this situation, the person is clearly looking for more than a wikipedia entry on the guys coaching past. Yes, I can look up and see he was with Boise, then Texas, etc, but obviously theres more too him. Was he considered the guru of Boise's offense? How good was Boise's offense those days? Did Texas offense improve under him? These are things that googling might not tell you as quickly, but maybe, i don't know, someone on a football blog might?

Boise's OC during the Kellen Moore years, spent a couple of years at Texas as co-OC with Applewhite and this past season as head coach of Arkansas State.  Arkansas State is the big loser here, Harin is the 3rd guy in a row (Freeze & Malzahn before him) to leave after 1 season.  I guess to get the best candidate possible they can market the position as a platform for better jobs.

Here is their story - (LINK)

"The 37-year-old Harsin, who will leave Arkansas State to return to his alma mater, succeeds Chris Petersen who left Boise for Washington last week. Harsin compiled a 7-5 record in his one season at Arkansas State, and led the Red Wolves to a berth in the GoDaddy Bowl."

He played QB at Boise State and was an assistant on the staff for close to a decade, so he is coming home. According to the article, the next coach will be Arkansas State's fifth in about three years too.

He has won everywhere he has been. EMU actually hired a guy with a good track record of success instead of a position coach. People thought Dino Babers was the guy, but apparently it is Creighton.

It makes you wonder why so many people consider Pat Narduzzi such a hot head coaching candidate. Narduzzi's resume does not compare to Harsin's, and nationally, Harsin is a bigger name.

I get why some might think "poor Arkansas State, 3rd guy in 3 years" but all 3 years have ended in a conference championship, so there are worse situations they could be in.
