[QUOTE="Yomanser, post: 376009, member: 2875"] I bring this up because I've seen several posts regarding Ted Roof and how people would feel in a hypothetical where Coach Paul Johnson retired and Coach Ted Roof were made the head coach in a CEO-like and recruiting-coordinator-type capacity (a scenario that I am 100% opposed to, by the way, and I think Coach Roof's head coaching record speaks for itself on that) where Coach Roof would run the bigger program operations and recruit players while the assistant coaches did the heavy-work in coaching and game-managing We will soon have a case study to compare to in order to judge how this strategy would work out. Arizona State just hired their new head coach, Herm Edwards, and released the following announcement (expand the quote below to read the full statement): As someone else put it, this is the quick translation of the above wordy jargon: "Herm Edwards will be the face of the program (CEO) which will help recruit players and retain coaching talent but because he is a failed strategic coach, he will delegate full control of operations to his assistants." I personally am skeptical regarding this approach, but soon enough we'll have the ability to judge whether it would work in a real-life scenario. Obviously, what prompted this is the discussion surrounding a similar hypothetical situation with Coach Ted Roof, so I'll finish with these questions to you posters: if Georgia Tech were to go in this approach, do you think it would fail or succeed? Would Coach Ted Roof be the best candidate for this position? Would you be in support of such an approach? [/QUOTE]
