I think people put too much stock in being a coordinator versus a position coach. Just like I think that administrators put too much stock into prior head coaching experience. Personally, I would rather have a candidate who had a great amount of success as a position coach over someone with little success as a coordinator. The same thing goes for hiring a head coach. Give me a guy who has been an assistant for a great program over a guy who has a poor record as a head coach at lesser programs.

In Powell's case, I think it is going to be very diffidult to land a great head coach. The program has improved, but not to the point where they can hand pick who they want. A far as Brewer is concerned. He is qualified for the job. He simply isn't interested in pursuing the position. If he was, he would be the top choice unless a proven successful head coach applies.
