With all of these jobs becoming available, it begs the question: how many coaches could 100% walk into a program and turn things around.
1. Nick Saban- proven results, turned 3 programs around
2a. Jim Harbaugh- anyone who can make winners out of Stanford has to do something right or cheat really well without being caught
2b. Urban Meyer- has had success at 3 different schools, if there was a playoff since the birth of the BCS could hold 3 titles at 3 schools.
That is all of them, 3 guys who you know for sure can get the job done. There are a few guys that fall into that possibly can range but there are no sure thing hires out there. The question is: can any of these guys truly get to the level of these three?
Jimbo Fisher- ton of success but still his team has underperformed, how much is to blame of lack of funding for coaches?
Tom Herman- doesn't matter for shit if you can beat the #1-5 team five consecutive weeks in a row if you can't get your team up to play inferior opponents.
PJ Fleck- he is still really young, has no major college football experience, a major roll of the dice giving a 16-year-old the keys to your prized Corvette.
Kyle Whittingham- done a solid job during transitional phase from a non-power 5 program to a PAC 12 program, but still has no results. Can he win with a better support system?
Bobby Petrino- yes the dude can win, but will he put a whore on his coaching staff to only fall off his bike and get busted for it?
I'm sure there are others I missed, but at some point you have to ask: is one bird in the hand worth more than two in the bush? Is this really worth the risk of firing our HC and bringing in someone else? (Not directed at Texas, whose coach warned them he would never win 6 games again and they didn't listen.)
