It shouldn't come down to choosing from either a big name or a former player.
Look in the FCS. There's no one in the FCS who wants to coach at UCLA?
Get a guy who can bring players with him immediately, like Cignetti and Sanders did. The first year is so key to setting the tone and getting people excited again. The only post-Toledo guy who did this was Mora. Helps to have a good QB.
