If Whitt coaches 3-5 successful years, are you OK with an internal successor?

Or do you always want a full search for the best available candidate?

  - I hate coach in waiting 100 percent of the time. Not worth it. If he leaves, he leaves* - By Rich August 6, 2026 at 12:38:44 PM
  - Yeah, so Whitt is retiring and OC Jason Beck is being coveted by other P4 programs.* - By gbmcq August 6, 2026 at 12:36:40 PM
    - In that scenario, there would be an external candidate more coveted than Beck* - By Rich August 6, 2026 at 12:39:39 PM
- Depends on how things shake out. If we have a dominant defense and it's Jay Hill, I'd be open to it. He was an outstanding lower level HC.* - By Bluebuck August 6, 2026 at 12:17:12 PM

- Full search. If the internal candidate is THAT good, a sincere full search will select him anyway.* - By LKLIII August 6, 2026 at 11:48:53 AM
- How do you know who the internal guys are? What if they have been recently hired? How can you possibly know at this point?* - By MasterBates August 6, 2026 at 11:45:58 AM
