I've had this thought on Ya for a while. I know the guy has some baggage and I get that. But he definitely seems to be the most engaged of all the assistants and isn't afraid to get into Woodson when needed. He's also been the most instrumental in getting high level recruits in the door. For those reasons, he would be my choice to lead the team the rest of the year assuming CMW is out.
With that said, if I'm Dolson my conversation goes like this, "I want you to lead this team the rest of the year and try to right the ship. You'll have my endorsement to stay on staff with the next head coach as I see and appreciate your hard work. However that will be up for the next coach to decide." Period end of story, the guy isn't staying on as HC in any circumstance and will NOT be guaranteed anything.
