Oh I think he is. People said the same hung about Bill Cowher, dungy, etc, heck greuden should have been done. That game day analyst role is super cushy and pays very well.

I don't think Cowher of Dungy have that level of obsession/ego, Gruden, yes.
I went down a rabbit hold reading Texas A&M message boards last night.
It made me so appreciative of Cyclone fans and this board. Outside of the cave and the understandable venting that happens in Gameday threads, we have a far greater percentage of reasonable posters than most big name universities.

He would probably quadruple his salary and bring along coaches that had that same opportunity.
@FriendlySpartan if Pitt didn't **** the bed this year would MSU contacted Narduzzi? Does have some history.
Oh, for his perspective, absolutely makes sense. And I'd carry his bags if it'd get me back into coaching even as a freaking analyst, are you kidding, lol...
but I was just referring to it as a school's POV.
If I'm Indiana's AD my short list would be probably
Sean Lewis - Colorado OC, kinda, and former Kent State HC
Tim Albin - Ohio Bobcats, HC - yes, kinda like Toledo in a sense but he had a mess to clean up and has at least been a HC outside of Ohio as well so you've seen him at two schools as HC
Chris Creighton, Eastern Michigan - won at a lot of smaller, schools, including a couple where its tough to win
Heacock - don't get me wrong. I don't want him to leave. But at Indiana, running a defense like the dime stack would make them unique, and a little hard to prepare for, he also is familar with the recruiting territory.
Alex Golesh, HC, South Florida - yes, it was only one season but he got them bowl bound after the dumpster fire that was USF.
He's been incredibly familar with the Big 10 - time spent at Illinois, GA at Ohio State, been at Northern Illinois, Toledo, Iowa State, even at Tennessee which geographically is not far away from Indiana. Yeah, probably not getting any studs out of SEC country, but he's got that and now has connections in Florida.
Trick is just one year as HC but , meh, maybe?

It’ll be interesting what smaller schools open up as these get filled. Nate S made a good impression when interviewing either last year or the year before for some smaller head coaching jobs. I’m sure a year as a coordinator will help. Hopefully we can hang on to him for another year.
Doubtful, he really hasn’t done anything special for awhile and has had some negative comments towards the school recently. He also turned the school down when asked before the tucker hiring.
Agreed, although I think schools might want to see a bit more in terms of offensive production. Don't doubt that he;s a fantastic interview. Its just... our offense IDK if you're "selling" a hire as an AD to boosters and fans would be enough.
I think if the offense grows and we can finish top 50, maybe better next year... then for sure, he'll have opportunities, no doubt
He was really upset about the peach bowl loss, had some comments about it and the conference in total, also threw his former OC under the bus and is anti NIL. That’s just not going to work in modern CFB.
Elko wont make it 3 years in that cesspool. Hope his buyout is huge.
