If you were the AD at Nebraska (potentially a blue blood - but kind of middling right now) and Scott Frost dropped dead tomorrow - and they told you you could have any coach out of the Pac-12 you wanted ... would any sane person choose someone over Pete?
Or maybe a more realistic one - FSU after Taggs gets blown out... who would you hire if you could have anyone from the Pac at FSU?
By that metric my coach rankings right now in the Pac would be:
1. Pete 2. Shaw 3. Whittingham 4. Chip (first years are weird, but I don’t have a lot of faith he still has the fire). 5. Wilcox 6. Leach 7. Cristobal (at least he’ll recruit for the next guy) 8. Herm 9. Sumlin 10. Tucker 11. Smith 12. Clay

It's not just looks.

I would pay to see Leach at FSU tho.
