...to catapult ND into the higher echelon and -- in turn -- their names into HC play.

I can understand assistant coaches at major programs being a bit picky: the pay has undoubtedly increased so they don't have to jump at the first bite.

Still, if you look at recent ND alumni moves:

- Beth Morgan Cunningham, who was a head coach at VCU for 9 years, went from being an assistant coach at ND and Duke, to Missouri State;
- Melissa D'Amico Graves, after being an assistant at Yale and Wake Forest, got the Boston University position.

But, as you said, even schools like Toledo are looking for head coaching experience: they hired the head coach from Monmouth, NJ. Hey, that's just a few miles from the Mabrey's residence? Hmmmm.
