Funny thing is, Wellman probably thinks hiring this guy is going to make a big splash with the fans.
I wouldn't be upset with Clawson hire at all, but I think Lembo would be the better choice for our program.
Yep. Although he did just win a conference championship. I still think we can do better than a .500 MAC coach who did worse than his predecessor. We got a .500 MAC coach post-Caldwell. Clawson wouldn't reflect the improved status of the program post-Grobe.
I agree, seems like posturing to save some cash. If we plan to continue to invest in facilities, saving $1MM over 3 years is a step in the right direction.
Not to mention Lembo's connections with NC high school coaches. That's the big separator IMO.

Athletic departments with good football teams don't have as much trouble fund raising. Hire the best coach available.

Spoke to BGSU AD, Chris Kingston, on the phone just a moment ago. Says he isn't aware of any interview between Dave Clawson & Wake Forest.
