Can you name any other HFC's at Power 5 schools that are likely to retire at their present schools (not be fired or leave for greener pastures)?
As in the NFL, college coaches are now "hired to be fired". Another poster earlier suggested colleges need a CEO for football. I think the AD needs to hire a HFC for ability with X's and O's as well as the ability to identify talented recruits and develop them. I think the AD should hire the assistant coaches with the consent of the HFC. But the AD can fire them. The AD should also hire a Football Logistics Coordinator. Someone who organizes and runs the recruiting process going after the players the coaches want, babysits and monitors the players academics and behavior, etc., basically a Master Sargent...aren't they the ones that keep "the grunts in line" and really run the army? (Just ask one.)They would handle the mundane crap most HFC's aren't good at and really don't want to do.
* If Kirby doesn't win a National Championship within 3-4 years will the fanbase turn on him? And for those of you that follow SOS about the "direction of a program", this is Dabo the past few years. 15-0; 14-1; 10-2; 8-3. Definitely a downward projection.
