They wouldn't have had the same success so quickly, but yeah, much better coaches. We'll be talking about this until we find our guy, which is hopefully Butch.

I loved the Kiffin hiring , still do actually, but it would have been interesting to see this program if we had gotten the "right" guy the first time.

I am not sure who that would have been, but just the guy who would have still been here and successful. Love B.J. but would have liked to have it right to see what would have happened.

Lane did have so much potential, and it fizzled, which made me sad. and I hope we can all get behind BJ

Dooley is getting a rough rap... let's keep in mind what this program looked like prior to him showing up. Dooley was very good at what he did and he accomplished that here. It was time to move on. But Dooley got this program in a position that is on much more stable ground. Props to Dooley for getting us to a point where we can now start winning again.

Check some other threads. He has several noted detractors who are beside themselves that he hasn't signed a treasure trove of 4-and 5-stars yet.

Yes, but RockyTopATL is right, some folks are just miserable. I understand a wait and see approach, but give CBJ a chance. I think we may have lucked into a great situation.

Agreed.

You left out a bunch of other now successful coaches that would have taken the job. It is just amazing how badly this thing turned out.

Yes sir. Those are just the coaches we passed over that happened to be at the helm of the some of the hottest teams.

And LWS and others are likely correct...Kelly would go to ND.
