We need someone who has shown they know what they are doing and has had past success but is stuck in a bad situation elsewhere or under employed. Ross was such a guy coming from a öööö show in Maryland.
I don’t really care if the coach is in purgatory due to his own stupid decision or just mismanagement of those above him, but we need one of those guys who can manage an entire program and coach on Saturdays.
Here are a few proven guys who are in purgatory or otherwise underemployed and aren’t 75 years old like George and Ralph (God bless both of them):
- Bobby Petrino
- Art Briles
- Gus Malzahn
- Clay Helton
- Dan Mullen
- Gene Chizik
- Bronco Mendenhall
Not all are equal (I’d cringe at the thought of Chizik), but we need someone to stabilize a listing ship. We need another Bobby Ross or George OLeary to come in and save our ass.
