Funny thing is that Gross and the coaching staffs we have had here aren't the problem with the exception of Gerg.  The problem all along has been the administration and the lack of support.

You can't hire the best if you don't spend the money.  
Can't buy facilities to attract recruits/coaches if you don't spend the money.
We have the "Old Farmhouse" building mentality for facilities.  Add on a little at a time as needed but still connected to a rickety old house.

It seems they have a "This is what we have...so make it work" attitude.  Very rarely does that inspire confidence from employees in general.  Most people with any intelligence that are prospective coaching hires can sniff this out through the grapevine and stay away.  Unless of course it is their shot at moving up in the coaching hierarchy...Shafer, Lester, McDonald, Marrone, Hackett, Gerg and most of the coaches over the past 15 years.

The administration and Board are trying to just get by and not be/build a great program.  AD and Coaches are constantly trying to ice skate uphill.
