Interesting Tidbit on Coaching Hires

[BR]

Interesting note I read this morning on Twitter:  In the last two years, there have been 21 openings for a football coach at a Power Five school.   ZERO have hired a sitting Power Five coach as a replacement.  65 Schools in the Power 5.   Most fans set their sights unrealistically high in coaching searches.   I know most of these openings are not Florida/Tenn/A*M/Arkansas/Nebraska

Interestingly, 5 years ago we supposedly "won" when we pulled a guy from a P5 school.
