NO WAY IN **** is Hue Jackson coming here. He's all NFL. He's been waiting for an NFL gig for a minute. His name is always thrown out for NFL positions. We ain't his alma mater so therefore he's not going to just give us love. He's all NFL...I repeat, ALL NFL.
Let's say he is the leading candidate and gets the job, first chance at an NFL gig he will bolt, and we are back at square one.
And the reason he would get that job is because he had success at Miami. Isn't this what we want? Our coaches to be wanted at the pro-level?
Just worry about the now.
Conman, it isn't accurate to assume that he would have to be successful in order to receive an NFL coaching job. Bill O'Brian went a mediocre 8-4 and 7-5 at PSU and left after 2 years for the NFL.
Looking at Hue's career he is a serial job hopper. The longest he has stayed at any of his coaching jobs is 2 years. So the chances of him leaving if he gets called to the NFL would be high if we are judge him by his career pattern.
A few things PotatoCane,
1. Every successful coach we had left for the pros. None were lifers. Again, none were lifers. This is normal, coaches move to better gigs after having success.
2. Bill O'Brien did a great job considering what happened at PSU and what he had to deal with. That is success. That is why Doug Marrone at Cuse left, he did well for what he had at Cuse.
3. Hue is already in the NFL. He is due for a HC position at the NFL level soon. He doesn't have to come to college to earn a HC gig. It doesn't matter anyway because if he leaves it would be because of success.
