A lot of people seem to be upset we’re not getting any better external candidates linked to us than Johns but at this point of the year, who is out there that would be available by the transfer portal? I’m not as low on that guys coaching ability as many on here - Riley Leonard was great at Duke with him as OC/QB coach.
However, I do think we SHOULD be able to do better if we were looking for a coach on a more traditional timeline. Smith was fired too late. Unless the rest of the staff was in some way involved in some sort of misconduct that hasn’t been revealed yet, Hauser is the obvious move. He’s been here for our most successful run, players are calling for him to get the job, and if he crashes and burns or kills it and leaves for a bigger job, we’ll have way more good choices on a normal timeline.
