My criteria would be:
1. proven head coach somewhere that has BUILT a better program, overachievement a must.
2. a guy who will handle one side of the ball. Either D or O, don't care which, but needs to have been a coordinator.
3. Can bring or hire a key assistant to run the other side of the ball, and some other good ones. No more learning on the job (Kiesau and Helfrich)
Haven't done the research yet on Calhoun. Would elevate Hoke, Patterson, guys like that to top of the list. Would also consider top coordinators.
African American and personality is a plus. EB's inexperience is a huge negative. Could be a huge home run though with the right coordinators.
Who they would bring with them would have to be part of the criteria. An offer should be contingent on assistants having offers as well that they have verbally agreed to.
