Here are some Big dick teams from around the country and their coach hirings since 2000ish. I put "limp dick hirings", those that were coordinators, internal hirings, NFL assistants, hiring of a fired coach or coaches from group of five or 1AA in bold type. I put a star next to the Limp dick hires that paid off. (I counted Coker and Orgeron as successes. Win a natty and pop off. Rick and Helfrich are fails as they both eroded the programs without national titles even though both won a Rose Bowl) Meyer (2005) and Franchione (2001) are counted as a limp dick because Utah was MW at the time and TCU was Conference USA.

14/37 limp dick hires worked out.
6/15 Big dick Power 5 to Power 5 moves worked out.

As you can see a lot of small dick hires end up looking pretty good and and a lot of BIG DICK moves sometimes shrivel. You can argue about a couple coaches on this list and whether they should be considered a success or not. UW is historically bad at this the last 20 years and USC is pretty bad at stealing other Power 5 head coaches. No wonder the Pac 12 has died. LIPO on the new UW coach. This is about as inexact a science as you can get. I'm excited by DeBoer. He's a winner and there haven't been that many of those to go around the last 20 years.

    I respect sticking to a strict criteria for categorizing big dick vs limp dick hires, but it's hard to justify calling Petersen and Urban Meyer circa 2005 as limp dick while saying Willie Taggart to FSU was a big dick hire.

    Understood but Florida stealing MW Utah’s Coach is a good hire but it’s not taking another Power 5 programs coach. That’s Big dicking someone. People on these boards wanted UW to Big Dick someone. I wanted to see how that traditionally worked out. Really though, It’s all still a crapshoot.

    Urbans not the best example. He was on staff at Note Dame when they chose Bob Davies to replace Holtz. Everyone in South Bend new he was a rising star, and he had Holtz coaching tree to pull from.

    If the Dawgs were getting this years version of Urban (Napier) I for one would be pumped up.
