I have seen several suggestions on a new Coach. Some I Like, some I do not. In the selection process, we need to consider we play in a league the ACC, in which great defense is path to long term success. The ACC is a conference more like the SEC, then the Big 12. or PAC 12 All this talk about hiring offense minded HC's is misplaced IMO.
We need a HC that will build a solid foundation with Defense. Not a guy that is gonna chuck the ball all over the yard . That will not work in our league, just like it hasn't worked in SEC. See NC experiment with Fedora. Babers will not be successful long term in the ACC, not a good enough defensive foundation in his program. FSU experiment with Taggert will also end in failure.
Teams that have been a long term success in our league have always had a great defensive product: See Clemson, VT, FSU, Miami.
UL has had it's best success in recent memory with who? I will tell you who it was A DEFENSIVE MINDED COACH CHARLIE STRONG.
If you want to look with our league think Narducci or Adazio instead of Babers or Fedora.
Let's build a program the right way like Saban does, base it on defense, not the the guy who throws the ball all over the yard.
Stop the run first defense, and run the football first on offense, these are the keys to long term success in our league, IMO
