Which head-coaching hire is most impressive?
This week’s question: Which head-coaching hire has impressed you the most?
Olin Buchanan’s answer:
I really like New Mexico State’s choice of DeWayne Walker and Eastern Michigan’s choice of Ron English. I find Kansas State’s decision to bring back Bill Snyder intriguing. Mississippi State’s hiring of Dan Mullen got my attention as well. But I find myself being surprisingly impressed by Lane Kiffin at Tennessee. He wasn’t successful with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders, but that appears to be a no-win situation. He’s young, aggressive and making a significant impact in recruiting. He’s also assembling an impressive staff that includes his father, Monte, and Ed Orgeron, a great recruiter and excellent defensive line coach.
