This is a bit like saying the star QB at a high school is getting recruited to a D1 program and wants to bring his OL. How much of the success is due to the QB vs his OL?Not necessarily directed at you but how does a HC at a lower level know his assistants won't be successful at the next level? After all, to this point he has trusted these guys to get him to a spot where he is a candidate for the next level. I think the thinking amongst the coaching fraternity is that coaching skills are transferrable (and linear) as you move up. After all, at CC or or Valdosta State or Fort Valley State or Valdosta High School you are competing against peers with similar resources, And you have done fine. So when you climb a rung on the career ladder, the assumption must be that you will be fine there too competing against better athletes and coaches but you too will have similar resources. How does a HC decide that ol' Charlie, his OL coach at Podunk State U is good at this level but now I have a better gig at Southern Idaho A & M that ol' Charlie won't be able to cut the mustard competing in the Lewis & Clark Trail Conference ?
You know the G5 assistants are good when other people are trying to hire them away to P5 positions.
