re: Coaching hires?

I think that the response is part of the difference. But more important is the overlying culture.

I was talking with others today who played in the 80s, at A&M and elsewhere. Im pretty sure our now "Icon" (particularly HS) coaches would be fired. Something like Junction would result in jail time.

Accidents happen, just like on work jobsites. but what ends up meaning something is the culture. Does this feel like a one-off from a kid working hard like Martin, or does it feel like 1980's 3 a days in Tx with a snow cone cup of ice chips if you worked hard enough to earn it?

From what I read, Durkin feels like the latter. But that is FROM WHAT I READ.

I surely dont have enough info to play jury. Jimbo gets paid a pile of cash. He can do that.
