Here are the perfect hires for Maryland, Kansas and Louisville as we move forward in their searches.
Maryland – Matt Rhule:I first though Mike Locksley would be the best choice as the Alabamaoffensive coordinator has great ties to the area for recruiting, but Rhule’s experience in handling a nightmare program at Baylor coming off scandal gives him the nod. As much as Locksley would kill it in recruiting, Rhule is the better choice to run the program and take it to a positive direction.
And it’s not like he can’t recruit as much of his staff is adept at recruiting the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic area. A lot depends on how comfortable he is at Baylor and the amount of security that Maryland can offer, but if they come with the right offer, he’s the best choice.
Kansas – Les Miles: Miles, the former LSU head coach, wants to get back into coaching and appears willing to take on the challenge at Kansas. And the Jayhawks couldn’t ask for a more experienced and better coach to perhaps take the team to the next level. They have had some success recruiting Louisiana already and that would continue under Miles, an elite recruiter, and his coaching ability speaks for itself.
Miles was ousted at LSU for a lack of offensive imagination, but we are seeing now that Ed Orgeron can’t steer the offense in the right direction either. There is a good case to be made that Miles would be doing just as well as Orgeron this season had he remained the coach.
Louisville – Jeff Brohm: What better fit could there be? Louisville is home for him, he cares about the program, he’s done a very good job at Purdue and he’s known as an offensive genius. He can also recruit and bring elite talent to Louisville and get them back as a contender in the ACC.
