As Jimmy Johnson once said the success of any head coach is directly related to both players and your assistants. I wonder if the assistant coaching will ever be up to par with any other head coach, if the administration is unwilling to ante up the funds to pay for quality assistants. I believe this is a major issue, Maybe Al flirted with PSU because he knew the money would be there.
Look at our Assistants:
Coley: No record of any accomplishments, yet he is our OC
Kehoe: Who in the Administration does he have evidence on
Carroll: I guess someone assumes DNA automatically qualifies you
I could go on with more, but I believe Al will get a 5th year. What future success we have will depend on what coaches stay and who goes. If he wants to reach a high
level as a head coach, and I think the potential is there, then he will have to show real CEO skills.The hardest thing to do it fire someone, but if you want to get payed the big money then the time will soon be here to prove if you have the guts and fortitude to prove you deserve that position.
