Young OC or DC from major P5 school or successful HC from mid major?

[ruready4somefootball]

Schiano was a young up and coming DC from a major P5 school who learned under a proven winner Butch Davis. These OC and DC guys from Ohio State fit that mold also. There's also proven winners in the MAC and other mid level leagues. Pick your poison, what's your preference?

Nope! We are a B1G school. No more assistants. Get a guy with a proven track record. This is not post Terry Shea 2001

Just as a point of reference - of the current Big 10 coaches, five of them are in their first head coaching position:

Iowa - Kirk Ferentz
Maryland - D.J. Durkin
Minnesota - Tracy Claeys
Northwestern - Pat Fitzgerald
Indiana - Kevin Wilson

OSU = Urban
MIch = Harbaugh
PSU= Franklin
MSU = Dantonio
Purdue = Hazel
Illinios= Beckman/ Cubit
Nebraska = Riley
Wisc = Chryst

Kind of disingenuous to add Fitzgerald and Ferentz as named coaches years/decades ago ago. All recent coaches have had head coaching experience. Minnesota obviously different.
