Saban wins conference and national titles. Apples and oranges!


I don't think we want to compare Fuente to Saban. I think Tech probably has to bring in a coach from a smaller stage. I would just want a coach who has won as a head coach at two different universities or for an extended period of time. Fuente was only a head coach for four seasons and he achieved success during the final two seasons. A coordinator with a great football mind also might work BUT does he have the other skills needed for the head whistle?

Would Tech be able to hire away a P5 coach who has had winning records but hasn't been able to win the conference or natty? Bronco Mendenhall achieved steady success at BYU before moving to UVA for the rebuild of their program. The coastal division is pretty weak and I think most Tech fans would be happy winning or competing for the division.
