First I want to say that we should all be thankful Chip Kelly won't be our new head coach. For starters, he's a cheater. Secondly, he's too expensive.
When hiring a new head coach you have to think long term. Therefore, you want a guy that's cheap and has to earn big money by his team's performance. You don't throw big money at a coach before he's done anything, otherwise you'll be paying out the azz when he actually does perform at expectations and demands a raise.
Kelly is such a bad hire for any major program, it's a joke.
There are several qualified candidates for the job that aren't in a position of leverage. They'd be happy for the opportunity to coach a major program and would take a long term deal for a couple million a year to prove themselves.
That's the kind of hire that makes sense. I know some of you are delusional and think someone can come in and in two or three years win a championship. Not with Saban around. Alabama has it locked up, until he decides to leave. That's just a fact of life.
Find someone that has a history of proven success as either a coordinator or head coach that won't cost you an arm and leg during a time where Saban has a stranglehold of the league.
