Finally got fed up with all the naysayers about EB's (and for that matter, Embree's) lack of coordinator experience so I decided to do a little research.
OK - I'll give it to the naysayers, of the current BCS Top 25, 21 of the coaches have had past coordinator experience.
BUT....FOUR HAVEN'T, and a couple of the names are interesting:
#4 Stanford - Jim Harbaugh - I think quite a few people here have expressed their feelings that Harbaugh would have been a great hire if there was even the slightest chance
This one surprised me...#6 tOSU and Jim Tressel.
then
#17 Nevada - Chris Ault
#25 - Northern Illinois - Jerry Kill
So while the numbers don't lie, the fact remains that just under 20% of the current Top 25 BCS coaches have no coordinator experience whatsoever. I think with Scooter, we have an excellent chance to help that percentage go up and like Mr. Sweater Vest, win an MNC to boot.
BRING ON ERIC "SLEEPING WITH" BIENIEMY AS THE BUFFS' NEW HEAD COACH!
that is all...:smile2:
