Who would be a good replacement for Coach P?

Very good question. My first move would be to try and get Lyle Hemphill back here since we were a top 5 defense while he was here. The wildcard there is we don't know how good of a coach he'll be vs a coordinator, but his performance here with us makes him worth taking a chance on. I think we could poach him from Wake Forest as that gives him the chance to bolster his resume with a HC gig.

Outside of Lyle I'd have to start digging to turn up candidates that would be good, but given the reputation of the university, and the large salary we're willing to pay (by FCS standards) we should be able to at the very least poach a top coordinator from another program. I'm sure there are guys on the JMU or NDSU sideline who would love the chance to coach here. If all else fails, we got Coach P from a D3 school, so looking there has worked for us before.

I've been very hard on Coach P lately, but he's an offensive minded coach who won many games for us when he's had the talent in the program to compete. I want to give him his chance this year and the schedule is lining up to do just that.
