Since the current coach is grooming his son for his replacement, that leaves no chance of promotion for the new guy. That could be a non-issue for some (ie, I failed as an HC and am happy to stay at OC...perhaps Chuck Long), or (my future goal is to be HC at another school), but it could be a show-stopper for many OC candidates.

AHC is waaaayyy different from a HCIW. Just ask Billy Hite.
Absolutely
But when you look at the age of BH and SB, it's not even close. It's hard not to think Shane taking the big job one day hasn't crossed Frank's mind.
But it's far from a certainty
Frankly, if a new OC comes in and succeeds, they will join a fairly crowded field for the next HC at VT.
