Lots of discussion about our coaches, who stays, who leaves...

Having watched ball for too many years too many coaches there are a few things that i have come to belive when it comes to the college game.

1: The head coach needs to be strong at a minimum of one of three things. He either needs to be a very good D coach, O coach or a great CEO type. I would put Shafer as a great D coach and Doug as a great CEO. If not exceptional in one of these areas they will fail.

2: You better have a solid OC or DC if your head coach is strong on the other side of the ball. This in my opinion was and is HCSS weakness so far

3: The most important position coaches are the OL and DL coaches followed by the QB coach.

4: Other assistant coaches should be recruiters as much as position coaches.

5: Any coach needs a minimum of four years to prove themselves.

At this point i believe that Scott has a solid chance of making it. He is an exceptional D coach. He made a mistake on a solid bet with George. It was a bet worth taking and i truly believe he always has Lester as a back up. I think that Adams was a huge mistake not in hiring him but in placing him in charge of the OL.  My sense is that if provided with time, possibly more time than many of us will want to endure that he will grow into a very good coach. I believe that he is a solid three years away from that point and im not sure if he will be provided that much rope.  Lets hope that Lester steps up and that we keep TD. Should be a very interesting off season.
