Bud couldn't get a HC job when he actually wanted one.

There have always been some small-level rumors about Bud and skeletons in his closet. I have no idea if that sunk him being a head coach, or his demeanor, or what....

Naw, several folks here say a rebuild takes 5 years, or that we're not

..spending enough to expect more than 6-6. Both arguments are bogus, of course.

Like, maybe from Memphis?

That didn't work so well with Fuente. Admittedly, I thought it was a good hire at the time, too. I think it was luck of the draw, we picked one that didn't have what it took to run a program bigger than a G5 Memphis. Norvell followed Fuente. I thought FSU did well to pick Norvell. But, is he a Fuente-type bad decision?

A Saban protege makes more sense than a James Franklin protege.

But, like you said, are there any left? Any left that would want to come here?

My guess is that he gets offers now. Guessing none that excited him.

I would think he would already have a contract to coach somewhere if the offers were good enough to beat what he does now. I have no idea what he makes now, surely less than he made coaching, but what he does now is a LOT less hours and less stress. But, you never know what someone's motivation is. Some guys may look and think they like the challenge, with a fan base that isn't SEC-level ridiculous.
