Message: [QUOTE="coachcap, post: 4048244, member: 621"] This hire is where A.D. Dave earns his paycheck: All A.D.s keep a file for possible replacements if it becomes necessary.(or should) I'm hoping that Benedict has identified some great prospects that have had success at previous stops. Every so often there are young stars that you just KNOW are going to be great on a major stage. a. Bill Bellechik- anyone who watched Parcell's Giants teams Knew that young Bill B. was going to be a great head coach in the future. (his Cleveland stop doesn't count because of the inner turmoil that ultimately resulted in the team moving to Baltimore). b.Brian Kelley-successful at every step along his head coaching ladder. We saw Kelley's ability firsthand during his stint at Cinci. My point is there are coaches that you can just tell are destined for greatness at the next level. It is up to A.D. Dave to identify such a wunderkind, & get him to sign on the dotted line. Doesn't matter to me if said coach comes from the offensive or defensive ranks. The only criteria that matters are winning history, organization, being able to identify & recruit talented players, &, clear lines of communication to his staff, the athletic department, & the fanbase. The Huskies have languished far too long in the basin of FBS football. It's past time to climb out of the abyss & back to respectability. With this hire,it's on A.D. Dave to get the University there.
