There are only 3 reasons you ever do a continuity hire: Your program is humming along, and you want to keep stability. (See: Duke) You need to get rid of a HOF HC who is clearly past his expiration date, and it’s the only way to make him go “quietly”. Your program is notoriously cheap and lazy when it comes to HC hires. (See: Scott Shafer) We weren’t option 1 for over a decade, so we doubled down on 2 & 3. Now it’s time to pay the piper. Full national search. Best possible HC candidate. Pay at or above market rate. We got a discount from JAB for decades, and Red better not have been paid big $. Time to play and pay like the big boys were supposed to be in hoops. [/QUOTE]
