Sorry, but anyone without a rock solid pedigree should not, in fact cannot be considered for the head coaching position. there are only a handful of candidates who could step in and add prestige to the program. Sure, we've had Bo and Moe and now someone wants to hire Curly. We can't afford a slowdown in the program. The cost is prohibitive; lost donations, lost recruits, lost fans and their dollars. A good number of people are already grumbling about paying top dollar for tickets, only to see tickets given away and prices for food and drink going through the roof. Assuming we had one. Prices continue to go up while the quality of play erodes.

Many alumni and fans have supported the program for years with their dollars and cheers. Now is not the time to short change anyone. Not the alums, not the student body and certainly not the players. If a change must be made, it is imperative to bring in a proven winner, a man of stature, one who commands respect and integrity.

The young men on the field deserve the best the University can deliver.
