What other Power 5 job will he be the leading candidate for? I can't see any of the SEC schools hiring a coordinator with no ties to the region. UCLA and Arizona State will likely have a regional focus. Success at Fordham has little value to most of the country (see the path Dave Clawson took).
Just because we hire bad and mediocre coaches doesn't mean that there have not been good guys available each round. Coaches know how precious these jobs are. Moorhead knows. Hell, UConn decided to roll the dice with Edsall again instead of giving Moorhead his shot.
It's this.
The most frustrating part of all BC searches is that we've been the ones who has said no to quality candidates in favor of lesser choices (often because the lesser choice is more desperate for the job and willing to work for less). As for Yukon, while they did pass on Moorhead (who was their OC before being demoted by PP after not making HCRE's staff moving to MD), you can understand why as (a) HCRE is their TC and (b) the last time they hired a hot shot assistant from a major program there was some Civil ConFLiCT.
Minnesota wanted him last off season. There will be more head coach openings than expected and there will be a more attractive jobs than BC.
But he didn't get the job, did he? They went with a winning MAC coach. I am not saying no one will be interested. My point is that I don't think he will be offered a better job than BC this year.
