It's just that Arena Football is a radically different game than American Football. A CFL coach would be a much more logical choice, because Canadian Football is far more similar to American Football than is Arena Football.
A guy with NFL experience for recruiting purposes; and College experience so he can handle 18 and 19 year olds and not forget that, size aside, they are all still kids.
What about Jim Zorn?
Any chance there?
Kurt Warner made the switch pretty well. Are there any other examples of success or failure from coaches or players going from AFL to NFL? Is it just an assumption that the games are to different, or do we never see the cross over because AFL players and coaches "weren't good enough for the NFL?"
I dont know much about Hohensee except he was a GG and is an AFL coach. Why do people keep bringing him up, and at the same time get ripped on for bringing him up? What kind of coach is he? What would he bring to the table here?

If you had several million dollars of Danny Snyder's money in your bank account, and you had to give back any amount that you earned being the Gophers OC, thereby basically working for free, would you? I wouldn't. Not to mention that it would be a pretty long way to fall. Far better to take your money and disappear to a nice island someplace for a year.

Brew wants a good x's and o's guy with great recruiting ability, and NFL glitter. So does everybody else. The question is, what is he most likely to give up. At this point given we will have three decent classes assembled, I'd go for the best coach. But I don't think that's how Brew rolls.
It was discussed in another thread, but Zorn couldn't be a OC here because he doesn't have a college degree.
Hohensee would be the logical choice. There are so many reasons why I dont't have time to type them all down. The Gophers would at least have an explosive offense under Hohensee.
