I am actually excited about having young coaches

Yeah, I mean there's a part of me that thinks about all the little things I wished we had done differently over the last few seasons (like with some frustrating coordinators), and sees this as an opportunity to start fresh.

Do I want to burn it all down in the process? Of course not.

But I'm with you, this whole thing might end up pretty interesting once it all shakes out. It certainly isn't shaping up to be dull.

Yep! A few days ago I started a thread on what would make CKD successful. I said the following things...

quote:

- He doesn't try to meet unrealistic expectations. You can't "win" with Bama fans. Don't try to keep up.

- He makes the main thing the main thing (aka success/winning). Acknowledge the GOAT and greatness. He shouldn't strive to be Saban. Take a look at the existing mechanisms in place. We've won for a reason. Keep good mechanisms that he can work with. If mechanisms don't fit his agenda, get rid of them or look to improve upon them. Saban wasn't perfect. Not a single coach is. Don't worry about meeting Saban or Bama fan's expectations.

- Keep the winning culture going. Great men, relentless effort, and accountability. Anything less is a loser's game.

- He improves his ability to recruit. He may be a great X&O coach but it's a whole hell of a lot easier with the best roster.

- Keep his loyalty in check. He has a number of coaches that have followed him since Sioux Falls. (i.e. Grubbs / Morrell) What happens if he doesn't win or they prove to be ineffective recruiters? Is he willing to make changes to improve the program?


I still think he has to achieve these things to win. I am encourage that he has kept a large portion of the support staff and I'm all in favor of the coaches he has hired. They all make sense at this point.

We still have a lot to be answered as he has been employed for 7 days.

Our shithead fans need to drop the unrealistic expectations and support the man to do what he feels he needs to do to be successful.
