I don't think Leavitt would be a "Great" hire but I do think it would be better than what Currie would do after locking himself in a dallas hotel room for 48 hours.
Leavitt takes over and keeps the gang together....Currie is happy and snyder is happy.
If Leavitt comes in for a couple of years as DC/AHC and then takes over, while keeping the vast majority of the staff, it keeps the momentum going.
The more I think about it, this feels like a Currie hire. I bet he's already realized he made a mistake by not just promoting Brad. There are several examples of non-traditional powers continually hiring from within to sustain success. Also, you don't have to overpay and deal with buyouts like you do with every other coach not associated with your program.
To be honest, the oscar eff up is going to force us to cut into the football coaching budget since we will most likely be paying oscar $2+ million for three years. I bet if we get Leavitt, he'd take the promotion for less than 2 million. If we get Brad for less than 2, we can probably stay relatively budget neutral.
