I don't know if its an obsession - I just think he's a viable alternative. Obviously his ties to the U, the fact that he was successful as a player and a coach, his pro-experience, makes him a plus. It speaks volumes that guys like Butch and Pagano respect him as a coach. That being said, he does not have any experience as a head coach in college (although half his teammates or players seem to be coaching HS ball in South Florida). Would I prefer the young Stoops (Kentucky) or Jim Leavitt (San Fran), of course.
