Mike Bajakian should be looked at

I mentioned him in another post, but now we really need to focus on this guy or a VERY similar guy. If Campbell at 31 can be HC at Toledo, this guy can be HC here. His resume hits MUCH of what a lot of us are looking for=

A few years as a coordinator (with successful offenses)

Experience in the MAC

Experience in Ohio

Experience with QBs (as a player and coach)

NFL experience (always can be a selling point to recruits)

Only thing he has not done is HC. But his resume far outweighs Ianallo, Loeffler, etc. and, besides the UA connection, his resume MIGHT be better than Mike Johnson's considering where the majority of his work has been done.

TW...did that $25,000 lead you to asking him.

I do prefer a coach in his early to mid-30s, for some reason. Kids today seem to relate to a high-energy guy nearer their age...although I am not discounting *respected* veterans like Glen Mason or Jim Tressel, by any means. But with the names that seem to still be in our mix, I have no problem with a 30-something guy. Not sure Bajakian's resume outweighs Loeffler, and Scot does have the local connection on his side.

And, BTW, the $75,000 wasted on "search committees" two years ago and now? Most guys here on ZNO would've provided a top list of candidates for $50 and lunch at the Chuckery. Think about that next time, YouTubey. Haven't you squandered enough of Zippy's nest egg?
