6 factors to keep in mind for the Cincinnati coaching search-coachingsearch/rbr
2. Will head coaching experience be a requirement again? Cincinnati’s last three hires were sitting head coaches (Tuberville, Butch Jones, Brian Kelly). Mark Dantonio was the last assistant hired to the job, coming from Ohio State’s defensive coordinator job in 2004.
