At least viewed that way at the time of hiring, and then lived up to it. I’ll name one: Lou Holtz. That’s it. That’s the list.

Even Frank Leahy had been a head coach for only two years.

Ara had a career record at Northwestern one game over .500 and was coming off a 5-4 season.

Dan Devine had a terrific college coaching record but was coming off a rather lackluster one in the NFL.

It might be wise to wait and see at least a tiny bit.
