I think it could work, but AH doesn’t need complete autonomy. We need a buffer between James and the football program. We need somebody to rip HC a new a**hole when they drop games to teams like FIU. You shouldn’t need to take staff decisions away from your hc, if you do he probably shouldn’t be the head coach. Manny should however have to submit a list of candidates for open staff positions to AH for approval, if he agrees fine go get your guy manny if not look harder and try again. If/ when the time comes to hire a new HC AH puts a list together for James to sign off on, and then he should be allowed to shoot his shot at those candidates. Since it has been reported that James does not like to confront his coaches you hire someone to do it for him. To filter out the bulls***, and you have someone for the HC to run staff decisions by/ sign off on. It should bring accountability to the HC and football operation.
