Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 5603862, member: 8594"] I can hit on my 9 leg $5 parlay for a few thousand, too. Schools willing/eager to change coaches every couple seasons are more likely to stay in that cycle than to find one who works. And when they find that one, the chances of keeping him aren’t great unless you’re a premier destination or get a ‘hometown’ type. Is this an argument to strictly adhere to the 5 year rule? No, of course not. But the list of excellent coaches who spent a few years being dogcrap at their job is not short (with the recognition that the list of dogcrap coaches who started their career as dogcrap coaches isn’t short either). 5 years is a bit much but not preposterous. Also, Jim obviously had Red in mind and I think he’d be a scumbag to say, “get ‘em out as soon as you can.” Nobody is going to say that when the subtext is obviously about a friend. [/QUOTE]
