Because Dino will be retained JW needs to take the following steps to protect the program while SU works through this situation.
1: Publicly support Dino and more importantly his staff and players. The message has to be strong or the next two recruiting classes will be complete bust and we will lose good players as nobody who has choices will choose to remain with a lame duck coach.
2: Back this up by providing coaches White, Monroe, and Schmidt with raises and two year contract guarantees. Losing anyone of these three coaches will be disastrous. When your head coach is weak at X & Os you cant afford to loose your best coaches. Losing White would be a train wreck.
3: Mandate that Dino hire a special teams coach.
4: Become more involved with the team. Be a presence. Show support.
In any situation when their is unrest at the top of an organization fear becomes a motivating factor. In fact it is the strongest.
Most involved will look inward, look at how this affects them personally.
Players will obviously decide to stay or leave. Recruits the same.
Assistant coaches are the most at risk. Those with choices will often leave.
Teams are like companies. Players are employees and Assistant coaches management. We can all relate.
JW can and i strongly believe has already made the decision to retain Dino.
Right or wrong and why doesn't matter at this point.
What does matter is how he handles it. He cant do this half arsed. He needs to be all in. 100% supportive and he needs to back that up with a financial commitment to the Assistant coaches as to retain Dino and lose the assistants is the absolute worst case scenario.
Bottom line is JW needs to spend some of the saved buyout money on keeping the guys that are responsible for this team doing better on board.
Pay Monroe, Schmidt, and most importantly coach White so they dont bail.
