There are likely better candidates out there - that's always the case when an interim coach is named.8 wins minimum before he should even be considered. And I'll go out on a limb and say there's zero chance of that happening. We need to be focusing on real head coaching candidates.
Can you name one coach that could have won 8 games with this roster, assuming Northwestern and Georgia Southern were already off the table? If that guy is really out there somewhere, by all means hire him.
