Plenty of HC hirings look awful in hindsight, but at least there was a reason (even if it was a bad one, like “he knows Bill Belichick!”) for the hiring you could understand.

But the Greg Schiano hire in Tampa was egregious. It’s unlikely enough a college coach succeeds in the pros, but to hire a guy who was in a mediocre, mid-major program and not particularly innovative or creative with his gameplans? Without exaggeration, it would be like if Luke Fickell or Jamey Chadwell got an NFL head coaching job this winter.
