Why didn't they get their hire? Lets see who did and didn't get their hire this year. Please help me if I am wrong and please add to my list.

Minnesota: No
Michigan: No
Miami: No
Pitt: No
Indiana: No
Colorado: No
Florida: Yes
 

How do we know who was 'their hire'? Do you go by what the fanbase wanted? The AD's dream hire?
 


If you're going by "fan base", then the answer's probably "No" for all of them.

When Muschamp's name first surfaced, the Florida fan boards were full of people pitching a fit about the Gators "settling" for someone who'd never been a head coach, blah blah blah. A lot of Gator fans thought Stoops, Petersen, Harbaugh would crawl over dead bodies to get to Gainesville & were shocked/horrified UF was taking a "flyer" on a coordinator with no head coaching experience.

That sentiment began turning when links to some of the Texas fan boards were posted - Texas fans were apoplectic about losing Muschamp (yes, even though Texas was 5-7 last year). Figuring "if they're that upset, maybe we did OK here," people began reading up on the new guy & gradually came to believe the Gators did well.

IMO, something very similar is happening here with Coach Kill - it started out with "We had to settle, this isn't what we were told was going to happen" to "Hey, this guy's a good football coach" as we got to know him.

In that case, Minnesota & Florida got "their" guy - - - - even if his name wasn't the first name on the fans list in the beginning.
