The problem is we have had high-profile failures for every type of hire:
Up and coming small school guy? Skip.
Guy who had a ton of success at our level and washed out at major program? Charlie.
Coordinator for major hot program? Jeff.
And 90% of the fanbase was ready to fire Taggart too, so you could add him to this list... he just caught lightning in a bottle with Flowers, Mack, and Johnson.
There is no one mold for a coach, and anyone who says "no [X type] coach" is ignoring the magnificent scope and diversity of USF's hiring failures.
