I agree. I think JH will recruit a lot of his players (long term projects) who are more fringe guys for other teams. I think the difference will be if he can develop them to reach above their suggested potential (aka Barnes development). If he can, I could see JH coaching here for a while and bring a lot of excitement and fun wins . If not I think he makes it just until we are past the NCAA issues. But who knows really, I thought the Pruitt/Chaney dynamic would get us back to the top but I was way off.I don’t think JH nor Elliott succeed here. I said form the beginning the second hire DW makes is the big one and I think Elliot would recruit way better and leave a better roster for the next coach
Think part of fixing the dysfunction is to be in control of the situation instead of reacting to the media and fans.....which after the last coaching search became a real turn off to candidates. We tend to take this seriously and react emotionally to everything the media slings at us. And the media loves to sling things at us. So don't feed the bears.I don't equate decisions or coaching hires leaking with "dysfunction."
We haven't been bad for a decade because we know the inner workings - we've been bad for a decade because we hire bad coaches. That's dysfunction.
The leaks did supposedly cost us a coaching hire last time and may have other negative effects..... it’s best to keep the athletic department tightened and announce when ready.
I don’t want him to worry about what we need.... he needs to just be working to create a winning program bc that is all that matters..... my kids are very heavy into sports..... I teach them about mental toughness all the time...it’s the number one skill that I feel an athlete must develop.... I think a lot of our fans need to improve their mental toughness.We needed that Heupel leak -- gave us time to process and accept before the announcement.
