Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4584472, member: 405"] It only takes [I]more than one hire [/I]if the first one is a [U]stupid choice[/U], like GMac or Autry, or even Hopkins. And yes, I am familiar with SWC's research on "The Guy Who Follows the Legend" usually bombing out. But in how many of those circumstances did the program opt for "continuity" by hiring an in-house assistant, maybe having a good year or two with the prior coach's players, but then flaming out for lack of personality, game management, recruiting, age, or whatever. Get get a [U]real[/U] coach, who's in his 40s or so and still hungry, who coaches good defense, recruits well and has East Coast ties, and we'll be back in no time. [/QUOTE]
