Here's how I see it now: we've got people VERY interested in Mike Leach. Another group VERY interested in Mike Bellotti. And still more VERY interested in Jim Harbaugh. We're all acting as if these are attainable coaches for our program. And don't get me wrong, any of those hires would be great, and I'll hold out my hope that one of them does decide that our program is right for them.
But if you look at the last 40 years, it doesn't support it. We're more likely, regardless of lip service from the AD and President, to end up with someone like a Kevin Sumlin, or an Al Golden, or a coordinator from a big school at the end of the day. And I'm worried, with all the grandstanding from the fanbase now about these high-end candidates, that if/when we end up with a good, young, up and coming coach instead of a home run off the bat, we'll have a lot of unnecessarily disappointed people around these parts.
Agree? Disagree? Gopher07 is an idiot?
