Aparantly Paul Clark would be upset if we don't hire a current head coach without an offensive lean... Hopefully Pollard doesn't agree...

He said the rumors are Chizik is going after a coach with head coaching experence and an offensive backgound. But the Tulsa coach is on the list. Pat Hill was another name he through out.

Strong looks like a strong candidate to me...but somehow, I think he'd make it here without Mac as an assistant. :biggrin:

:biggrin: I was one of Mac's defenders to the bitter end...but the program was in a rut, recruiting had stagnated, and it was time for a change. At best, Pollard would be hiring a coach now, one way or another.

Why do you say that?

I think he could get Dan as his DC.... i really would like to get a guy with head coach experience (i dont count charlies time as interim coach haha) but i think if we go the coordinator route he would be my number one choice. great recruiter and a brilliant defensive mind

Edit: just looked at the recruiting targets Mac has been after... of four targets, 3 of them are 4*'s and he has landed those three(a OL, DE, and DT)... also recruiting a 3*. just cool to see dan succeeding a lot
thats awesome, its also cool to see how much easier it is to recruit to florida than it is to isu
