Starting tomorrow, every team in CFB has its HC position taken over by its best former player. For the sake of the argument, this coach must be 1) alive and 2) under 80 years old to give some runway.
This really comes down to two things:
-
An opinion on the program’s best alumni player
-
That person’s ability to recruit, coach, and generally run a football program.
Some interesting examples off the top:
- Deion @ FSU
- Collin Klein @ K-State
- Matt Leinart @ USC
- Tebow @ Florida
Horrific example:
- Herschel Walker @ Georgia
