So here's my first post of probably several after this weekend.
Ignore for a minute that the Seminoles have an "heir apparent" to Bobby Bowden.
If you:
1. Are on the "A List" for being hired right now for a major college program
2. Have no previous loyalties or animosities
3. Are choosing based purely on the near-to-mid term success prospects of the program
Would you rather be introduced today as the new Florida State head football coach or the new Notre Dame head football coach?
It would be nice if some of you "lurkers" also responded to this one. It's just 2 or 3 key strokes. Hard to take the loyalties out of it, but I think I'd still choose ND. Even with winter.

I would pick ND. FSU has fallen behind other Florida schools in recruiting including Florida, USF and even UCF a little bit. But the key thing to consider is that any big time coach loves the limelight (they do have egos) and ND wins that one over every school in every market.
I guess I've been out of it and don't know who's in the running for the ND job. BUT for tradition and glory, it's hard to beat ND.
Some of our local sports radio hosts asked almost the exact question to Gary Barnett, and Barnett leaned toward FSU. But he had previously discussed his upbringing as always wanting to "beat ND, not coach ND", so his bias may have been showing a bit.
