Seriously, for a second after the celebration histeriar, Red bleeds Orange. That is why you stay in the basketball coaching family. For reference, see Duke and NC. Basketball players are close to the HC and they expect HC stability. Players no longer have loyalty. Perhaps, if you build a solid winning tradition and loyal staff, some players might be more prone to stick around. This off-season, and hiring Red, are big steps forward.
Football is different. Football player's world revolves around their position coach and other players in their group. They practice in their group. The head coach is still important but football teams can more readily have continuity when a successful HC leaves. Re, Boise St.
For the JB haters, he built a winning reputation and an in-house hire is proving to be a workable way to resurrect the tradition. Too many precious powers have never recovered. I think that we will have a solid ranked team this year.
Not much pushback from our insiders make me feel a little better...right?
