Face the facts: after much ballyhoo, it is now quite obvious Mario is struggling to land assistants. Whether you call what’s happening “being thorough”, “analysis paralysis” or “perfect is the enemy of the good”, the net-net of it is things are severely delayed. No finger pointing; things happen.
However, Spring ball is only about 6 weeks away, which puts us in the unenviable position of trying to build the airplane while we fly it. That’s incredibly problematic, because players don’t have systems/playbooks to learn/study, so the 2022-2023 team is already behind the 8-ball in comparison to its competitors. So, how do we mitigate this issue? Bring in the big gun…Alonzo Highsmith
The A.D. (Radakovich) must call an audible and parachute-in Alonzo Highsmith as consultant to help Mario land assistants. Give Highsmith a 60-90 day consulting gig to help dig Mario out of this hole.
And it’ll work because Highsmith has a Rolodex a mile long (pro and college level), which puts him in an excellent position to bridge the gap between identifying a good position coach and coordinator and hiring a good position coach and coordinators.
