But, even with Kane, why would he take a job that can completely dim his rising star?

Who is ready for another winless season?

1. Bob Bell - the dead Bozo the Clown
2. Kyle Rittenhouse pre Kenosha
3. Willie Pless
4. Gary Busey
5. My Mother
6. M.C. Hammer
7. Andrew Yang
8. Dennis Rodman
9. Prince Harry
10. Big Bird

Being serious, no matter who is hired, my biggest hope is that he's NOT another "name" guy who was fired from his last job.
It will be interesting to see if Long is still around after an "outside firm" assists in the process.
Then is the ultimate decision going to be his or Girod's?

Lance Leipold should aim higher, but he could be amazing. Been a winner at both levels. His offenses score a ton of points.

Jeff Monken from Army should be a top call. But he’s a true option guy. But guys would play hard and he is from Midwest which could help.

Troy Calhoun from Air Force is intriguing. He’s been an OC at NFL level, but runs option at Air Force. But he’s always been close to leaving for bigger programs, would he leave now.

Willie Fritz would take the job, I think. But he is 60 and winding down. But he can coach.

Kevin Kane would connect with boosters extremely well being an alum. And moving up constantly in the coaching ranks.

Interim candidates should stop at Emmitt Jones or Josh Eargle. Let DeBord and Eliot do their coordinator roles.

My order of preference
Leipold
Fritz
Kane
Calhoun
Monken
Emmitt Jones
Josh Eargle

Gary Busey.
