"David Shaw was third on our board, but with Bud going with the hot (see: homer) pick, Urbz fell into our lap. Reuniting him with former national title co-collaborator Charlie Strong only felt natural. Mark Helfrich adds another dimension to Meyer's downfield vertical approach and will keep the offense humming at breakneck speed.
Paul Chryst was the most coveted o-line coach in America but a few short seasons before his first head coaching opportunity finally came. P.J. Fleck -- though the on-the-field results this past year left much to be desired -- can flat-out recruit; can't knock the hustle.
Al Golden won at Temple and is defense-native, Willie Taggart has ins in North Florida like no other, Troy Calhoun's got NFL pedigree, while Dan McCarney's as experienced and savvy as they come. Jerry Kill's a great guy (and an outstanding coach to boot), while Darrell Hazell I felt was undervalued after the tough first year he had at Purdue -- the guy was a few plays from winning a MAC crown at Kent State; think about that. Kyle Flood can help with the o-line, but please, after that 2014 recruiting cycle, lets keep him away from Twitter, Facebook, and (soon) Snapchat. Vince Kehres is our homer pick (Mt. Union, wuddup?), while Dennis Franchione is a sentimental one. Clear eyes, full hearts, they filmed some of Friday Night Lights at Bobcat Stadium."
