[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 887972, member: 282"] I keep seeing this strategy of [LIST=1] [*]{Fire Collins/Pastner/Stansbury/Danny Hall} -> [*]{Mystery step/Hire unknown next great coach or AD/Mike Leach wants to work here/Let's get Urban Meyer out of retirement} -> [*]{Watch the victories follow} [/LIST] where steps 2 and 3 are incredibly vague or unrealistic, especially step 2. We are not going to hire perfect coaches and perfect ADs. We may be able to hire better ADs or coaches than we have right now. However, the more important strategy is to build support structures where the coaches or execs do what they're best at, someone else does what the HC or AD is terrible at, and that there's a [B][I]program [/I][/B]that makes sure each athletic group keeps improving relative to competition. Richer AAs than us have shown that firing coaches is a lot easier than building programs, and a lot less effective. Sometimes, coaches need to be fired, if it's a considered move where you're going to improve the program and find a better fit. Most of the time, that actually isn't the case. If your go-to solution is "fire Pastner" instead of "get Pastner a great offensive assistant", I argue that your focus is misplaced. Especially if you don't try shoring up someone's weakness before firing them. There's a vanishingly small circle of perfect coaches. [/QUOTE]
