If we are going to do this the first guy I would want to check out is James Franklin. If he's not interested I would rather gamble on the next great coach than a Fisher or Cutcliffe or trying to steal some other established coach. I would try the Houston coach first; then the Memphis guy
I would take Cutcliffe. No way in hell Duke should be succeeding at their current level. He also led Ole Miss to 5 straight winning seasons after resurrecting that program from the dead. He is well known for developing QBs (Peyton and Eli Manning). Recruiting Rankings: 2015: 62 2014: 58 2013: 68 2012: 52 2011: 77 2010: 72 They have gone 25-13 in the last 3 seasons. With that recruiting, they should not even be competitive, much less winning nearly 2 out of every 3 of their games. The downside is he is 61 years old.
