I also named Lafleur and Lincoln Riley.
I could come up with a bunch more guys too.
Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern did a great job with an irrelevant program and is worth a look. Jim Harbaugh was a heck of a coach in the NFL.
I could keep naming more. It's kind of fun watching you all try to discredit them all! I think I'll keep naming more. I'll bold them in Red so you can easily spot them.
I didn't personally like Bienemy as a candidate. I'd give him a fair shake, but I wouldn't be hyping the guy. Not that I'm hyping Taylor. As I said, he's an unknown. We could be 2-14 or 14-2. We don't even know what his offense will look like.
I would have been ok with Lafleur. Riley wasn't going to leave Oklahoma and Harbaugh wasn't going to leave Michigan. Both said as much. You may as well as thrown Belicheck's name out there. Fitzgerald is a solid college coach, but has been at Northwestern since 2001 and has no experience as an NFL assistant.
