Agreed and believe me in that I'd LOVE to have a football coach that is essentially successful enough to be that proposed Zo type role and be the football "czar". That was the model that everyone was hoping for with Richt. Allows the AD to act in essentially a support role for that marquee...

The Coyle type names are exactly what we should be hearing as possibilities after you drop down from our "dream" candidates. But again- until they prove otherwise it should just be assumed that we're a fundamentally unserious institution.

Nunez's base salary is $300k at New Mexico. So a) that's the caliber of candidate we're dealing with here and b) you're absolutely right that most ADs wouldn't take the hit in title but we'd probably sell it as some "Co-AD" type of nonsense while giving him a large raise.

Here's a simple standard for any hires within the athletic department. They could ask themselves what programs do they think we're comparable with right now. They could then ask what programs they'd like us to become or pull even with. Then just ask if ANY of the schools between that starting...

Seriously. If you combined this dude AND Tony Hernandez you still wouldn't even have a remotely acceptable candidate.

Haha! Definitely. Kinda like if Belfort and Garin Justice somehow had a kid.

Bright side- our cross country team will now have someone that knows how to win.

His oldest daughter was told that Miami was seriously considering hiring her dad right before this picture was snapped. The photographer got it in right before she collapsed to the ground laughing.
