Good point about the change in hiring trends leading ADs toward younger coaches. Most of the coaches in this cycle are fairly young. Even with Ruhle's experience and track record, some ADs might prefer the young shiny-new-object.

He'd probably be one of the top choices next year too. But there may not be a job next year that has the potential NU has.
