Don't care for Schiano, but he'd be a fit at Temple.  Same recruiting base as Rutgers pretty much.  

Strong is the best hire.  I think Houston and Cincy both did very well.  Fickell and Applewhite both have ties to their major recruiting bases.  Applewhite will be an easy transition for Houston.  

Fickell is an Ohio State lifer.  A lot of Ohio State fans wanted him to be the HC before it was clear that Meyer would return.  He was solid in his one year despite the fallout from Tressel and talent issues.

Well that's probably the worst hire.

Fickell is an Ohio native so will recruit well. They did a good job grabbing him imo.

Not sure why the Schiano to Temple thing isn't a done deal. Seems like a perfect fit but maybe both are aiming higher ...

I think all three hires are good ones and they solidify the competitiveness of The American against the Money 5.

Most Houston alumni seem to really like the Applewhite hire and Fickle may to Herman-like things to the UC program, as he comes from the same coaching tree.

These ACC hires are great. All the hires are P5 worthy, except Temple, wait and see.

Sure, the ACC may have the money, but at least the AAC is listed first in the phone book

Just quick searched Temple head coach and a story written at TempleUpdate.com closed with this:

" There has been no word on whether the University has reached out to anyone to fill Rhule’s shoes next season. "

Bizarre.

 

Going internal?  

Schiano?

I don't like other schools going into USF super silent mode.
