On paper, amazing. NFL players love him and his energetic style would translate. Also as good an Xs and Os guy as you'll find. Risk is that he just hasn't done anything in college in ages.

He's had success as a coordinator, but not as a head coach. Looked a little overwhelmed, to be honest. I'd personally like an existing college head coach who has been successful.

CoachBada said:Yes, please. We need someone who is competent, and not going to play us for time/money. If LSU can get their guy in their terms, so can we. We just need a backbone.What about Saleh? From Dearborn, went to Northern, and NFL coaching experience.

Cali Wolverine said:No? Lmfao you think Dillingham is a better football coach than Salah?? That guy has coached some of the best defenses in the NFL over the past 5 to 10 years and also has head coaching experience. Every single player who’s ever played for that guy has loved him and he’s also an elite defensive schematic guy. He would also be a very good recruiter. He’s coached in Super Bowls. He knows how to develop defensive players and again every player who’s ever played for that guy loves him. This would be a no-brainer home run higher if our athletic department wasn’t completely incompetent.No

CoachBada said:I’m really not sure why our higher-ups are not considering more NFL guys in this coaching search. It seems like our entire list is Deboer and then a bunch of mediocre 50-50 college coaches. I get that the timeline is difficult for the NFL, but if I’m in our athletic department, I’m pushing for Minter Brady Salah etc. these guys are all elite football minds who have nfl experience and have coached and developed at the highest level.What about Saleh? From Dearborn, went to Northern, and NFL coaching experience.

No NFL guys unless it's Minter. We need coaches who understand how college football currently operates.
And it would be nice to poach some players from another team too.
