Getting the right coach, Part 3: Hitting the jackpot

We've looked at the coaching carousel that has been Rutgers football over the last 40 years. Seven coaches, each with something, but perhaps none with all the tools to wake the "sleeping giant". What about other places and other coaches?

For every Nick Saban, there are a dozen Charlie Weis. For every Urban Meyer, there are two dozen Randy Edsalls. There aren't a lot of coaches who inspire fan bases and strike fear in opponents. There are very few who have such charisma, brains, and football acumen that they can come in and turn around a program and make it a dynasty.
