Smu coach

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Hard to answer this because so much of it depends on situation. Personally, I like Sumrall at Tulane. I think he will translate well to a bigger job (likely Kentucky if timing works out there). I think Cignetti is good, but IMO he's going to be more of a Kirk Ferentz type... I could see him staying at IU for several more years and then retiring (he'll be 64 next fall).

I think it's a deep of a rabbit hole because There are some OC/DC that will be the next big time head coach.

I agree with @Brandon Van de Graaff on Cignetti. Had he been a little younger, he would have been my first choice to replace Saban.

It is still a little early, but I like Kenny Dillingham at Arizona St. He has only been there 2 years, but has gone from 3-9 to 10-2. Has a pretty good resume as QB coach and OC and is only 34 years old.

He took his 200k bonus this year and gave 5-10k bonus' to 20 members of his off field staff. His mommy and daddy raised him right. Another year or two to get a little more experience and I think he could do well at a traditional blue blood.

He deserves credit for that roster at IU. He's also losing A LOT.

Cignetti and Bama culture? Whew. Nah, I don't see that one working.
