None of these coaches went from High School/Division II/Division III to a Power 5 school in 2 years.
You really need to work on your analytical skills.
We are not OSU.
Malzahn was a coordinator for two SEC programs, including Auburn, prior o being HC.
Briles turned Houston around, plus is in Texas for ****s sake.
Come in, you can do better.
And no one gives a **** what you think either. Go be a Hawk fan for being a ******.
I brought up Leipold several days ago, and think he'd be a great hire. Keeping my fingers crossed.
There are definitely some concerns but he is known as a stellar recruiter. We don't need him to X and O at all. By all accounts players and alumni love him. He has made loads of connections at great programs which could help him create a good staff. There are certainly some things that suggest he could cover all the important areas of head coaching. Recruiting is the major major plus here though.
We are Cincy, not Notre Dame. You realize that correct? So we would essentially be hiring the guy a couple years earlier than Cincy did.
Is it a risk? Sure, but not one person on that list is a sure thing. If I'm taking the risk, I'm taking it on the guy who has run a program and won while doing it.
Would we be the laughingstock if we made this hire? Well, we've won 8 games in 3 years. Our program is one of the worst in CFB history. We already are a laughingstock. If Pollard and Leath feel this guy is the best guy, let the outsiders laugh.....because they already are!
I think a lot of you guys underestimate what a really good football coach can do. I can promise you that there are HS, D3, D2, and JUCO head coaches out there that are better head coaches than some of the guys coaching P5 football. They've just had different paths in their life/coaching profession.
What, all maybe two posters in this thread that have said stuff like that?
Whoopty doo. Losing focus from the topic, here.
Ridiculous. Here's a guy who has won at a lower level, so you know that he isn't going to be learning on the job as a head coach. He's also been an assistant at P5 schools. Plus he is a Midwest guy. Yeah he isn't tearing it up at Buffalo, but it's just his first year and they were pretty bad last year. There is no reason to compare him to Turner Gill. That is beyond stupid.
Id much rather have this guy than Campbell or Frost. What exactly has Frost done to deserve a P5 job?
Helped orchestrate ridiculously good offenses that just so happened to win a bunch of football games... Namely in a P5 conference...
You are skipping the part where Kelly had success at Central Michigan before going to Notre Dame. Leipold has one year of not even .500 football at Buffalo.
You are way off base here.
Except Frost has only been the OC since Kelly left. He is using Heilfirch's playbook. Hell, I dont even know if he is calling the plays on the side lines.

Why do you do this? Just make your point (s)...........don't be so abrasive.
For the 3rd time. I'm not comparing us to Notre Dame. We are Cincinnati in this scenario.
I'm only off base if you don't understand what I said.
I didn't imply that it works out for everyone, I just simply answered the presented question.
