As we’ve seen recently, the best intentioned HC in the world will have problems if he can’t hire a good staff. No new HC is going to allow the school to dictate whether he retains current coaches or who he will hire as his OC/DC. So the question becomes threefold: 1) who has hired at his other HC jobs; 2) performance of those staffs; and 3) does he have the contacts, salesmanship to attract SEC level staff?
I hope that someone involved in the HC hiring process has the ability to evaluate the information needed to answer those questions correctly.
