This is no more than your rehashed "Oh how I love 2 stars" argument. Yes, if you sift through 10,000 2 stars, you will find that one that became a star. Yes, if you sift through 10,000 directional school coaches, you will find a future great one. But you will also find 9,999 that aren't any good.
The fact remains that we are, or should be (but perhaps need to admit to ourselves that we no longer are) an elite program. Bama didn't hire Saban from Toledo. They hired him after he won an NC and after he was in the NFL. Meatchicken didn't hire Harbaugh from San Diego State, they hired him after he won a Super Bowl.
Keep shining those turds all you want. The only qualifying requirement on their resume is that they made less than a decent plumber at their last job. Are they as good as anyone else in that price range, maybe. Maybe not. I just don't think we need to shopping in that price range much and certainly not for 5 of our 9 coaches.
I hope someone burns down Fooley's house.
You are obviously happy with us being a lower tier school. I hope you have precious few in your corner.
Again, if your point is valid then there is no reason to exaggerate or embellish.
I have never made a "oh how I love two stars argument". You simply made that up and threw it in as an attempt to invalidate my point.
Your math is way off on the quality of lower tier coaches. Pick any coach that you think is a good coach and look at their resume. I guarantee that the vast majority of them worked at a lower tier school. It's simply reality that almost all coaches start at a lower tier school and work their way up.
You are wrong and you refuse to admit it.
