ethnically" then have it shown conclusively that there is nearly zero similarity in their football resumes (Sitake also made it to a camp in the NFL before a back injury derailed him), and then act like the differences aren't meaningful - but the difference is massive.

He spent four seasons proving his mettle coaching at places other than where he currently is. Those years resulted in recommendations and references. He then leveraged those into a position with a competitive D1 program where he has earned promotions and where his players have performed well. On top of all that he has been one of the strongest recruiters in the region.

I tend to agree with you that Bronco is here anyway for a while, at least another five years. So the conversation is probably moot.

But Sitake has a superior football resume in comparison to Howell.
