Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4059864, member: 1023"] that is my thinking too. The MAC had a bunch of good coaches a few years ago but most got snagged by other coaches. I don’t know if there is anyone who has established himself right now. Maybe Leopold, maybe the guy at Eastern Michigan who took a long term bad program and has made them into a respectable one. The thing with coordinators is that it’s hit or miss. I know there is a lot of hope to land Morehead, but his stop at Mississippi State was a mess. His Team was a mess. Cheating scandal, his quarterback injured in a fight at practice, a meltdown at a press conference. Just a hot mess. And of all things, State fans complained about his boring offense. As I said, I also I sort of wonder about looking for a guy who was at a major program but didn’t exactly fail. Just didn’t succeed at the level the fans thought they deserved. So a Herman who might want to rebuild his image but also whether he is too “regional.” There have been a few of these guys who show up in the MAC over the years. The other guy who I wanted when Diaco was hired is Pete Lembo. Successful head coach at Lehigh, Elon and Ball State. Word is he felt he deserved a Big 10 job at the time, but didn’t get one. Supposedly turned down a G5 job, though I am not certain of that. Been Special Teams coordinator and Associate HC at Maryland and South Carolina. Northeast guy. I think he is around 50 so not too old. [/QUOTE]
