Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 934981, member: 430"] Could also be a case of a guy that Shafer really wanted to get on the staff but didn't have a place for. Maybe he serves as OL coach for a year until another spot opens up that he's better suited for. Way some of the comments are being thrown around here, you'd think he just signed a 20 year contract to be our OL coach with 10 years as a Walmart greeter as the only work experience on his resume. Management is a chess game and when you are working in an organization that has limited resources, whether it be by cause or by choice, you have to get creative with your solutions sometimes. People can complain all they want about assistant hires not being splashy enough, until the $$$ is there, get used to it. And even then, for succession planning and long-term continuity, it still makes sense to take on developmental guys that have aptitude as well and have them learn on the job. [/QUOTE]
