Maybe there’s a surprise hire to be had in terms of drawing someone in you may not expect, but IMO this is basically would you rather have Ryan Day as the HC or see him be replaced by Fickell, Stoops, Fleck, or Freeman. Heck, Freeman may not actually want to come back.
There’s no mega star sitting on the sidelines to be had as was the case when Urban was hired, and you can’t have some clown show process of chasing “name” coaches until someone says yes.
IMO the “heat” on Day would be a lot more credible when or if Fickell starts winning at Wisconsin.
