He's probably an A-tier candidate at first glance, imo.  But if he doesn't show a willingness to recruit to Stanford's academic standards, and if he can't find a way to instill a winning football culture in line with high academic and character standards, then he'll be more of an $EC coach than a Stanford coach.

Puzzled by the above. He won at Vandy, for all intents and purposes not sacrificing the academic integrity of the school (unlike their current coach). Penn State, last I checked, isn't in the SEC.
