I like Chip Lindsey from Southern Miss and Arizona State.
Great at developing QB’s
Developed a kid that had only one offer to cusa player of the year and broke all Brett Farve’s records.
Got the ASU job and putting up many points till he lost 3 QB’s to injury. put up 39 with a kid they pulled a redshirt off.
He is also on the list for interview as OC for Auburn, LSU.
Was offered 3 mid level D1 coaching jobs last year but chose the power 5 OC job…
This is an innovative guy that would be here 5 to 7 years not just 2…

No idea who he is but I did not know Briles or Sumlin before they were hired at UH. I really was not that familiar with that tOSU OC that was hired either. UH has done well in finding lesser known names and turning them into the hottest name in college football. Whether their name is known now or not does not impact their length of time at UH.
Hire/promote the best candidate and hope you have every major program after him in a season or two because that means you are winning at a high level.
No way to know how loyal a coach will be until the offers come rolling in…if anything, we should all realize that coaches will tell you whatever you want to hear regardless if they mean it.

If they’re successful here, they’ll have the option to leave. We just have to hope they don’t. We shouldn’t pursue a less successful coach just because we want them to stay longer.

I wouldn’t say less successful but maybe more up and coming…
Take Brett Lashley OC from Auburn…Popular name, he will get a mid level D1 job and with success be gone in two to three years…
Lindsey
He landed the job at USM through Oak St x-OC Monken who was new head coach…Brought the team from 0-12 back to conference championship, QB was off player of the year and threw for 4600 and had two running backs over 1000yds…
This brought ASU after him…Young team at ASU but was having to outscore everyone for no defense…Started season with#2 QB, outscored Cal, Texas Tech, put numbers up but fought injury with 6 offensive starters out and was still scoring with 4th team QB
