Let's play this game a little bit. When you hire a new HC, he will fire most, if not all of the current coaching staff, which also causes players to transfer - the exact number varies, but there will be attrition. We will invariably get new systems on offense and defense. He likely will have a different outlook on recruiting, i.e. not focusing on the NYC/LI area where our focus has been the last 3 years, which could jeopardize the commitments of the big recruits in this class. For example, if it's Tressel, he will likely not target NYC/LI right away, but will go with what he knows - Ohio. The new coaching [I]staff[/I] will also need to get acquainted with the HS coaches in our recruiting focus region.I emphasize "staff" because the HC is a small part in the recruiting.
 
It's not as simple as just upgrading the coaching staff while continuing with what is in place. It's not an SEC school where coaches are more interchangeable because there is so much talent everywhere. There is a large amount of upheaval inherent in a HC change at a school like SU.
