Does Coach Duggan really WANT to be the HC for Southern Miss or is he applying as a way to keep his job here and to stand in for his fellow coaches? If he just wants to continue to be the DC, then we should give him a multiple year contract as DC and hire an OC (Chip or otherwise). If Duggan truly wants to be our HC then I think he has everything we need to build on our current success. I don't like the idea of limiting ourselves to only offensive coaches.
I don't think must OCs would have a problem conning into a HC job with a proven DC already hired. If you remember, one of the pluses to hiring Blake last round was that he'd bring Duggan back. Well, we hired Monken and Duggan was still back. I think our admin may have made that a stipulation with hiring either of them and it worked well.
