RC was a internally promoted assistant, not a national search...and started of really well, riding jackies momentum. Fran was a bust (lets get us a bama coach...kind of like idiots calling for kiffin). Sherm...not a personality fit...but built the heisman team. Summy...a 90 mile national search. Finally-jimbo...he won the NC...got us a real one...oops...winning against the 1 or 2 competitive ACC teams to get to the big show aint SEC ready...would have been the same exact mistake hiring Dabo a year ago...thankfully the acc thing is exposed (gotta beat more than 1 real team in regular season to go to playoffs in the SEC).
So the capable coach to win SEC west with a resume that says he can...(rather than just hitting the jackpot on a relatively unproven resume like when LSU hired saban) is a *****. Hopefully BMAs take time and not choose a risk that the downside dooms us to some charlie strong type for another 4-5 years out of current anger.
So, keep the auctioneer on staff...recruiting head. Save money. Interim promote the biker for 2024. And wait a year for real goodness. Which isnt immediately apparent. Baylor thought they scored a coup...not so much.
7-5 with jimbo this year. 8-4 with petrino next (on pure inertia). Wait til next year is turning to wait until year after next. 2025 coach gets 10 wins wegmans junior year. BMAs go nuts and give the guy a billion dollar 20 year guarantee. Back to 8-4.
