Just look at schools that have hired proven head coaches at the highest levels. While it's not a given, they typically see success.
- Saban was hired at Bama as a proven college coach.
- LSU hired Kelly, a proven head coach at ND and Cincy, has them in the playoff hunt in his first season.
- UCLA hired a proven college head coach Chip Kelly, has them at 7-1 with an outside shot at the playoffs.
- USC hired proven head coach Lincoln Riley... and they are 7-1 with a shot at the playoffs in his first season
- To a lesser extent, Mike Leech and Mack Jones have Miss St and NC headed in the right direction.
Oklahoma hired a coordinator... thud.
ND hired a coordinator... thud
Miami hired Crystobal who I think underperformed at Oregon
As I said... it's no guarantee, but if you're a program with the means, just go out and grab a proven winning coach instead of rolling the dice.
