So I can hear it now. “YOU LEFT OUT SHAKA SMART, RICHARD WILLIAMS, AND BILL SELF!!!!” Okay…so maybe I added that last one for just a little bit of fun. But I’m sure there are many that will say that we should go for Shaka Smart or Richard Williams.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but that ain’t gonna happen. No matter how much you want Smart or Williams to be head coach of your Bulldogs, it’s not going to happen. So go ahead and just wipe those out of your mind, and accept the fact that they won’t be head coach.
Did I leave any other realistic coaches off of this list? Go ahead and put them down in the comments, and make your case as to why we should consider them.
