Was listening to Andy/Ari pod and they weren't so sure Brian Kelly would land a P4 job.

Also on another pod, I think it was Feldman who said after Patterson got let go from TCU, he thought he had a good chance at either Nebraska and Auburn when really he didn't. Point he was making is that these coaches remember themselves at their peaks not as currently how they may be viewed.

I've heard similar stories from the CFB media in the past about Houston Nutt and Phil Fulmer.

Point being one time big names can land up anywhere if they still have the bug and really want to coach.

Houston Nutt- there's a name haven't heard in a long while. Permanently sidelined at 54 years old in 2011 bc of recruiting violations? Solid W-L record.

Is it worse to be FSU and have had a fairly recent taste of success and championships and be where they are now, or to be Rutgers?

You know the saying…..better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.

One thing I've always wondered is why schools spend a fortune on hiring a firm to help narrow down their next coach (which Maryland just did). I guess there must be more to it than I realize.

But programs always have and always will make bad hires even using these firms, so still not sure about it...

Totally agree.
Any idiot (speaking for myself, of course) with an internet connection knows the names:
Eck, Huff, Dickert, Napier, Haines (Indiana OC), Mullen, Indiana DC.
