so back to the fact that we have an unqualified and poorly lead search committee....
the realities of schools like Baylor - that going Coordinator gives you a better shot at a game changer. It might end up in disaster but going full HC only is focusing on risk reduction but ensuring mediocrity.
What makes the committee poorly lead and unqualified? I'm not being sarcastic, either. Maybe some information came out that I did not catch. Or is that statement merely your feeling on the matter?
I disagree with needing to go with a coordinator to have a better shot at a game changer and that a HC choice ensures mediocrity. You mentioned baylor earlier in your post - they hired a HC, Matt Rhule from Temple. He certainly was not mediocre.
With all of that said we are not going to pry an established HC from a P5 program, so I would think plucking one from the G5 would be the best route, in some years at least.
