Mark is the perfect balance; keeps the tucks happy (somewhat loose association with Bill’s tree, blah, blah, blah) but would be something that Currie could take credit for. Mark would get time with the fan base because of his “affiliation” to Bill.
Because as much as there was an uproar about oscar, hire someone like oscar for football, and Currie has no chance. None. And neither would the next coach. I will say, I think Butch Jones looks like what Currie would hire. Unfortunately, Brian Kelly will not have recruited for 2-3 years at KSU prior to Butch coming in.
