Oh, please.  Nice straw man.  I never said a coach would come here with goal of going 6-6.  
Coaches are competitive and want to win every game (and try to).  That's true for even the worst game coaches (i.e., the current guy).

But it remains true that 6-6 here will not get you on the hot seat here that it will at the majority of other schools.  To pretend that isn't a positive factor for coaches - or worse, to suggest that means only Buddy Teevens will be interested - is a construct you entirely fabricated.

As you say, any decent coach isn't intending to go 6-6 with any regularity. For that reason, the response of the AD and the school to repeated 6-6 seasons isn't any consideration at all. If a coach comes here thinking that is an issue, he is Buddy Teevens like. In fact, I suspect even Buddy wasn't taking into consideration what would happen if he went 6-6. So no, I believe that for any decent coach that isn't a consideration at all. You are the one arguing that would be an attractive feature (which you just restated), not I. Most coaches would in fact wonder about the institutional commitment to football if going 6-6 was just fine.
