Why limit our Head Coaching candidates?

Reach as high as possible....sell our reasonable short-term fan expectations in the Big Ten to give an experienced top name head coach an opportunity to build a football powerhouse with the high school football talent available in NJ, NY, PA, and Florida to start.

In my opinion, Rutgers could win a future National Championship with the right, experienced head coach (i.e. top coach whose fan base is not happy with an average of 8-9 wins per year in a Power 5 Conference) if given the time to build the program.

Getting someone like a Mark Richt (former Georgia head coach) to Coach at Rutgers takes two things: Money and Listening to a coach tell you how he can/what it will take to win a future National Championship at Rutgers.

The question is whether or not someone like Greg Brown can "sell the dream" to a guy like Mark Richt.

Your thoughts? Any other Power 5 Coaches that we should add to our dream search list?

I love Joe Moglia.

What happens to the more realistic choices if you are chasing guys who are not coming here?

I agree with the OP. I am having a difficult time understanding why the most discussed candidates, here and on the Rivals article, are Schiano, coaches who worked under Schiano, Matt Rhule and Joe Moglia.

If you want to go with Schiano, so be it. If you don't want to do that, why would you go with Cristobol or Fleck? Matt Rhule and Joe Moglia are huge long shots, neither has done anything professionally that suggests they will be successful at the P5 level. Joe Moglia is particularly confusing to me. Why would anyone be happy with that hire? Being a good motivator is enough at the level he is coaching at. It will not be enough in the Big Ten. Success is going to require, at an absolute minimum, a very good game day coach.

Why aren't top coordinators being mentioned? If we have the money it will take to get Schiano back, which everyone seems to think is the case, there are a LOT of coaches in play for us.
