I'm not in favor of most of the names thrown around. I would take my time and talk to Fickell, Freeman, and Rees and see how they check my "elite coach required qualities" boxes. I would also spend considerable time talking to the best recruiting analysts to find out who the top recruiters are. I would probably place a call to Nick Saban to discuss the guys he's been most impressed with. After that, I should have a list of 10-20 names, and I'd talk to every one of them. The idea that Matt Campbell or some other "name" that hasn't sniffed an undefeated season or top-level recruiting success (either players or coaches) is all of a sudden going to morph into the 2nd coming of Parseghian is like wishing on a star. Not my favored approach.
