It's a perk, it can't be the motivation if you want to be successful long term unless you're fine churning a burning assistants basically annually and maybe that's the new world.

Plus we’re still reportedly “working” to get transfer portal prospects to visit vs being lined up like other schools to visit day 1. I think without booster over spend our outlook is pretty poor for next season. I do not see them popping due to a bunch of great hidden gems that they’ve developed and the ones we thought may work out like Keone are partaling.
I would take beating Cockeye or Minnesota as a win at this point.
Notice how many Saban disciples are in the playoffs or have high level rosters. Part of why Saban retired on top of losing pay advantage.
if the assistants move every year they won't have relationships strong enough to bring anyone.
The bigger problem is that when a team like SDSU achieves at the level they did this year on defense, everyone knows about it and is already reaching out to the players.
Ironically, its something we haven’t done and we’ve had churning of assistants every offseason
In my opinion, we live in a 1.5-2 year “box” now for CFB. You can’t plan beyond that - it’s impossible
OK State isn’t hiring Morris because they think he can be there for 20 years. They’re hiring him cause he put up a great record with great players that all had eligibility left that are now coming to Stillwater. Coaching success and talent have never been more intertwined than they are now. For some reason we keep thinking theres some magic sauce that we’re going to be able to uncover through team chemistry and other stuff as if more talented rosters and programs aren’t also doing those things
We have one more year of this and then we have to hope we can do better than get a Head coach good enough to get our hopes up but not good enough to actually win a lot in the Big Ten. Please not another head coach who will hire his lesser/inexperienced buddies for the AC roles because they were good enough at whatever G5 school he came from. Groundhog Day.
And yet, miraculously, Oklahoma State has Mestemaker, Hawkins, and the starting North Texas OT from last year on board and is going to land the UNT #1 WR Young. Mestemaker and Hawkins could’ve gone anywhere in the country and Young isn’t far behind.
I say we just burn it all down. The school needs to focus on gender studies, not toxic, aggressive "sports".
agreed,, It's easy to be very emotional here on the internet w/out millions of our own money on the line.
most good business men aren't doubling down on an already perceived "bad investment"..

Yeah, bringing players along definitely works at a higher level when it is the HCs that move instead of the assistants.. There is a much better chance than new place will feel/be like the old one.
I do think the HC v Assistant piece is fair but not by any means insurmountable and thus is part of the reason I am frustrated with how the situation has played out with the SDSU guys and Nebraska
Tech did with McGuire. Seemed to work out

Sources: TCU's Hoover picks IU after campus visit
For the third time in three seasons, Indiana has added to its quarterback room via the transfer portal, as TCU's Josh Hoover committed to the Hoosiers, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Sunday. He will enroll at the Big Ten school this month.

Plus our administration put the university into a worse predicament extending Rhule which was just stupid. It’s going to be harder to fire him after next year due to a huge buy out when we likely don’t make a bowl game.
There’s no hope. Fuck everything. Go big red
