Curt Cignetti? Tyson Helton? Jamey Chadwell? Jason Candle?
I think Mike Yucich, Penn St's OC, would be a great hire, but given how Hafley went I think HC experience is a pre-requisite.

HJS {l Wrote}:It is systemic. Duke (a much higher academic institution with competent leadership) was able to grab a comparable DC with no HC experience at about the same time and have had results that are as different as their height.
Sure… some of it is luck. Some of it is incompetence (shouldn’t be lost on any of us as to how crappy his Rutgers-lite coaching tree was and how quickly they left for the exits once they saw his operation). But, at the end of the day, from the top on down, BC has shown over and over and over and over again that it does not see value in a successful sports program.
The BOT doesn’t care about athletics and are too afraid of the President. Leahy overtly hates the role athletics plays in college. Combined, their legacy is the purposeful downsizing of a once-proud program. At least, the whalepants (who seem to maintain an outsized influence) will be happy with the renewed battle with HC in both football and academic rankings.
Btw… never forget how bad Marty truly was. Fired Daz to hire Haf and extended Christian. Failing upward is probably too generous a phrase to explain his career.

Their legacy is a deconstruction of competitive athletics AND preventing open-discussions on campus. Kudos to the BOT and Leahy to finally be ranked among Harvard and Yale for something.
