[QUOTE="Techster, post: 887047, member: 360"] If a coach comes here and wins 8-11 games a season for 3-5 years, then moves on to another job....is that better than a coach that comes here only wins 3 games a season for his tenure then GT has to fire him? On top of firing that coach, GT will be on the hook for the remainder of the coach's contract which hampers the next coach's ability to hire higher level staff and support. I'd say if we can get a coach for 3-5 years and we have winning seasons plus a special season one or two times during that tenure, that's MUCH better than having to fire a coach and pay off the balance of his contract. That also means the coach is leaving behind a good enough roster to achieve winning seasons, and also helps with hiring the next coach. It's a sign that the next coach will have the ability to recruit and win at GT. The days of coaches lasting more than five years at a program is quickly fading. Lincoln Riley won an average of 11 games a year at one of the blueblood college football programs, and he had that program set up for long term success. 5 and 4 star recruits were lining up to play for him...but he still left to go to USC after 5 years at OU. Look at us. Bobby Ross and George O'Leary both moved on for other jobs, but they did well enough at GT that any of us would take their success here. CPJ was an outlier staying here for a decade...but even he looked to move on (see: Tennessee) after a while. I'm OK getting an ascendant coach that wins a lot of games here and moves on. Eventually you get a CPJ type coach who stays for 8-10+ years. Some coaches don't want the spotlight of a Notre Dame/Texas/'Bama/etc with all of the pressure and commitments that come with it. GT is a very good job, and the right coach will come here and win a lot of games. CGC is getting a LOT of grief now, and rightly so, but I think if you're being objective about it you can see how much he's done for GT off the field. If we could get Ross/O'Leary/CPJ results with CGC's off the field improvements for GT, I promise you GT wouldn't lack for quality coaches wanting to come here. [/QUOTE]
