    We’ve been everywhere and done everything, haven’t we? There isn’t a right style to hiring, maybe that’s our problem. We hire backwards.

    8 is very under valued and should be explored more, imho. 6 will likely rise and could get a good look.

    If we have to make a yolo pick Will Stein seems as good as any.

    I agree with that. I am just telling you that Golesh is not in the conversation.

    All I can say is that Saban said no. Much to my dismay.

    Every coach we've fired has gone on to get another head job, doesn't sound like career ruin to me.

    A couple years ago, I mentioned Marcus Freeman and was laughed at.

    Not sure you want to claim that one right now. Laughed at you then! Nothing has changed.

    I’m not pushing for him. I merely saw his name on the list at #3 and reported that I threw his name out there merely for consideration once in the past and was laughed at. That’s all. No need for a “Come on man.”

    I will retract my C’mon man. You seem like a great guy, but I don’t think that Marcus Freeman is a great coach.

    The going price will likely be 10 mill plus, unless we go for an unproven.
