Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3507422, member: 2117"] I think GG would be a high risk hire for Mississippi State. You gotta get a sure thing in there if they're keeping all of those players. I'd love to see GG coaching again but Mississippi State is such a hot program right now that I wouldn't risk it with her. I'd target Walz, Graves, Semrau, Close, or Rueck if any will bite. And if that's the case with Harris about being good cop, she might be best suited to follow Vic and work their magic in Austin rather than be a head coach. A lot of greats need a nicer assistant to buffer and balance out the staff. CD balances out Geno, Demoss/Holly to Pat, Niele to Muffet, etc. I mean even though Holly was an awful head coach, she sure as heck could recruit and her players really liked her. I dont doubt that Harris would make a better head coach than Holly, but it is a completely role with drastically different demands and being a great assistant doesnt translate to being a great head coach.
