Message: [QUOTE="ROCuse, post: 1013471, member: 3251"] I think the part of the problem is that this rejuvenation is directly related to Hop's (and Red's and GMac's) role in the program. He hits the road for recruiting, runs the practices, etc. I think the work Hop puts in allows JB to feel energized because he doesn't need to do as much of the grind as other coaches. It's a difficult cycle. Say Hop has had a enough with being the head coach in waiting and heads to some other job. When he leaves, with how big his role is, JB might have to put in a lot more work than he had to before. That grind could wear on him and he decides he's ready to hang it up. Well, now Hopkins is in to his second year at another program. Or JB let's Hop go and keeps the program the way it is, but with Red taking over for Hop. Well, what if Red isn't as good at it and the program suffers? As you said, tough situation. [/QUOTE]
