He’s their interim IIRC.
He’s told the press he wants the job.
they were upset up there when he got canned from being HC the last time. Surpised they didn't go torch a Harley dealership.
He was the OC over the past couple of years and it was not so stellar. But to be fair, their last HC was not someone to get them to where they wanted to be. Petrino was headed that way back before he got canned.
Not sure if he could get that magic again.
I agree with their fans. Not a splash hire. Auburn is not such a splash either, although he has some good experience and was turning USF in a way better direction.
SO many of these schools are hoping to do what Indiana has done. But that coach was really successful at the below FBS levels.
And THAT is what schools (even ours in the future) should keep in mind. If some guy is getting his team to the FCS playoffs several times, especially if they win that Natty, then that guy is worth a serious look.
