[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 868372, member: 2426"] I think the big difference is that changing a HC is less like hiring a new president. It is more like hiring an entire new executive staff. If General Mills fired their CEO and president and took one year to hire new ones, the system of executives would still run the company. Factories would still make Cheerios. I could still go to the store to purchase Multi-Grain Cheerios and would likely not see, hear, or understand any difference. If a college football team fires their HC, very few of the systems can continue to operate. [LIST] [*]Strength and conditioning could continue. [*]Recruiting would be extremely difficult. Not only would recruits not know who the HC is going to be, they wouldn't even know if the position coaches recruiting them would be on staff after a new HC is hired. (I can't remember a case in a Fortune 500 company in which a new president cleared out the entire upper and middle management of the company) [*]What would the players practice in the "volunteer" player only practices? They won't even know what offense or defense the new coach is going to run. [*]If it takes a year, what happens during the next season? Does the team continue with the offensive/defensive systems that were not working before? Does the AD, a booster, or some guy off the streets dictate to any remaining staff that they operate a different offense/defense? [/LIST] Also, it would be like telling the players on the team that the next year is meaningless. The team would lose an entire recruiting season, so the "meaningless" years would probably stretch into the entire time that most of the players are still eligible. Even before the portal and one free transfer, many or most of the players would transfer in that situation. The coach hired one year later would enter will an extremely reduced roster, and it would take years to even get back to being competitive. There are timing issues that prevent taking a very long time to do a meticulous search after the coach is fired.
