I want a coach that can out scheme the other coach (either offense or defense) in case we get out talented. Which of our possibles is most likely to be that guy? Maybe Fedora?

Out of all of our candidates, Strong, Gundy, Fedora, and Mora. All of them have an expertise.

Fedora will probably soon keel over clutching his 18th Red Bull of the day...and it will be b4 noon of that day.

Petersen, but unfortunately he doesn't seem like a candidate.

From our pool of candidates, it seems like we're going to need a stud OC and DC. For most teams that is what its going to come down to. There are not Sabans and Miles all over the place.

Your 3 favorite teams confuse me.

USC has always been my favorite over all college football team.

Les Miles is my favorite coach in CFB.

Tom Brady/BB are my favorite NFL player/coach

In the end, I am mostly a fan of college football in general. I like rooting for and watch specific players all over the country.

P.S. I'm a student at UT and have lived in Knoxville for a longtime that why I post here. (Although I just joined I have been a lurker for many years.)

College? Can't really judge by one. Different coaches do different things. This is why it is awesome. Spurrier made a living off of Lead-draw with like 5 concepts in 90s. Jim Johnson exposed him in the league. Kiffin uses motion and formations extremely well. That's all within the Norm Chow system handed-down -- which I also might add is the entire basis of TFS/Air Raid. Malzahn threw the game a curveball with the inverted veer/no-huddle stuff. Chip Kelly's of the world running faster than anything we've ever seen. Holgorsen, Tony Franklin are brilliant coaches with concision. The offense is installed in days, efficient, easy to learn. Flanker and split end are never flipped. Holgs added run/pass combos to what was originally there (Y-cross/screen, stick/draw). Also started running diamond and 30/21 gun sets. Franklin probably has about 15 ways to run Y-sail. June Jones changed run and shoot protections and added WCO packages, he definitely is a guru. Probably has forgot more than most know. Mazzone is all the rage. Simple, fast stuff that stretches the perimeter. Brian Kelly runs most of his pass game off of vert stems. Pattern-reading gets absolutely eliminated against him (Note: Saban is the master of pattern-reading). Can't forget Petrino. Awesome, awesome coach. Took the Erickson base stuff and added Coughlin concepts from the Jags. What else? The pirate. Added massive line splits and runs 4 verts 25 times per game. Chris Petersen. Fantastic game planner. Uses shifts more than anyone. Forgot about BOB. Can't credit him enough with what he did last year in NE. 12 personnel no-huddle monster. Penn State looked awesome this year. Calvin McGee/RRod with the ZR stuff which is all correlated to Meyer/Tiller/Northwestern and Indiana's current coach Kevin Wilson.

Could keep going, honestly.

That's what I want - someone who can draw up plays on his own and adapt to change rather than run someone else's schemes.

In a literal sense, that would be the run and shoot.

Spurrier is the best "guru" in CFB by a good bit, but he ain't coming.

An interesting thread except it ignores an important fact that half of the battle is getting the kids on campus to begin with. One can be a guru but if he doesn't have the complimentary staff or skills to recruit then the program will fail. History is littered with guru types who had awesome schemes but couldn't find the horses to run them and thus ultimately failed.
