I'm sort of on the fence about that. Yeh, he's probably not going to coach more than 6 or 7 years tops, however he could build a better foundation in those years than Brooks did and retire leaving UK in the best shape it's ever been setting the table for the next coach.
I looked it up and he is going to be 65 in 6 weeks.
We have a good enough personel on the team right now for us to get the attention of a good proven up and comer.
I love Butch Davis and his abilities as well as former Ohio St coach Jim Tressel but both are the same age and we might get 3-4 years out of them before they would want to retire.
I like Schiano, Kiffin, Fleck, Brohm, Taggart, matt wells, Herman etc.
Then your going to have other programs fire their coaches as well this season and their will be a carousel of hires.
Who can put together a staff that has noteworthy names to draw recruits? Who can keep a couple of guys on staff that we have who are good coaches (marrow, Gran, Hinshaw, thomas), connections to recruiting hot beds, etc etc.
