Can't ignore Cignetti, but still a bit "green" IMO - let's see if he can keep up the success at Indy next year

Fleck is good.
Schiano is good.
Franklin is good.
IMO many current D1 head coaches could be successful with OSU's resources.
Bielema is a good coach.
I haven't seen enough of Lanning yet.
IMO, the bloom is off the rose in regards to Rhule. He needs to get things going next year. Seems to be a great guy. I hope it works for him.
