Dear OP,
You must not have received my dispatch sent by courier pigeon earlier this week concerning the matter so I have composed my response once again using my finest parchment and sent it forth via the always reliable Pony Express this time. I do hope the the pigeon I used for the first message has not met an unfortunate end as he was a loyal and dedicated courier. However I fear there are three tigers, a gator, a wildcat, two bulldogs, some rebels and even an elephant (among others) who are working to prevent my words from reaching you. But I digress...
The Top Men running this glorious program in the Rocky area have a new offensive general selected who will lead the men in battle, but it would be unwise to announce him until the dawn of our first game in 2019. By delaying the announcement our combatant will be flummoxed and unable to prepare in time for our new ruthless offense. For we are putting forth a new strategy of delaying all hires as the old method of actually hiring someone timely just didn't make sense for us and we are changing the way the world works, much like the creation of the internet from the great AlGore will one day change commerce forever.
Decades from now the all knowing Wiki will mark down this moment as a changing point in assistant coach hiring history as all other foes will adopt this strategy. Those who are early to do so will prove to be tough challenges early on. Those who delay will be easy targets for slaying. For we are on the cusp of making history and changing the world forever. Just like Henry Ford, we are pioneers in our methods and this will bring forth victory. And we have uncovered another strategy that will assist us in the conquests of our challengers. We will now study our future enemy's ways through the use of motion pictures recorded from their previous battles.
Fear not Dear OP! We will be victorious in our pursuit of glory and soon we will all enjoy the bounty of riches it brings us! We will reclaim or God given rightful place on Top of the Rocky land with our loyal hound by our side!
Regards,
General Neyland's Ghost
