This was my clear #1.
Sounds like DeBoer isnt interested, and Minter isnt leaving the NFL. I mean, if you can get them, get them, but if they are off the table...
I honestly dont get the Jedd Fisch thing. I feel like if he hadnt spent 2 years there as an assistant, which is barely a connection, he wouldnt even be on the list. If you are going to keep wading into the Harbaugh era, I feel like it better be Minter. Nobody else is worth the PR.
Elko would be my first choice, if you can get him. Obviously the Vandy coach, but it does make me nervous if hes just a product of Pavia.
My total off the radar thought, and I know Michigan would never do it, but think of how many coaches at top teams this year had no prior college HC experience. Day, Lanning, Smart, McGuire, Venables. 5 of the top 8 teams in the CFP have coaches with no prior HC experience, 2 of the 3 were at JMU and Duke. The third got fired from his only two P5 jobs, amd already quit...
Indiana DC Bryant Haines. Only 40. From just outside Columbus, so he has ties to the region. Played at Ball State for Brady Hoke. Was a GA for Urban Meyer in 2013. Started coaching with Cignetti as S&C/DL at IUP in 2014 and has been woth him since. Was promoted to DC at JMU in 2019, amd kept that at IU. Hoosiers had the #2 scoring defense in the nation this year
