they clearly know the obstacles to winning a National Championship like not getting the top notch 5* guys in abundance, can't recruit academically challenged players to build depth, have to play a ridiculous schedule to build the ND brand and not football success, and ND won't pay top dollar for the head coach or assistants.
Best to take a chance with a young up and coming coach and hope you strike gold. Who knew when they where first hired that Meyer, Dabo, Saban or Stoops would be successful? Find a young energetic guy that doesn't know better and wants to make his mark. Just might hit a winner. A so-called proven name isn't coming and even if so you might be hiring a retread.
But WTF do I know.
