Unless you have sources that have spoken to you about this you are wildly speculating

Sources aren't needed to see the potential with this hire. Only an idiot would be so narrow minded and not understand how some of these things work.

Nobody is saying Smith is leaving right away, but Coordinators don't want to be coordinators their entire coaching career. Especially a coordinator with NFL experience. Of in Enos' case, a coordinator who has head coaching experience.

Also your basis that Rhodes will be here long term is...

I said if he is here longer than two years. Rhoads is going to be a hot commodity when head coaching vacancies come open. Which is what you want with coaches on your staff.

that he will replace another coach who will have left after a short tenure

Would you rather have coaches that nobody wants? If we have a staff full of coaches nobody else wants, then something is wrong.

Petrino had coaches nobody wanted because they were yes men. Nutt had coaches nobody wanted because they all sucked. Ford had coaches nobody wanted because they weren't very good.

Its part of it. It is why you see coaches leaving OU, LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, and other big time programs every season.

Sources aren't needed to simply be smart enough to figure out how many ways this hire could potentially help our staff on down the road. Sources, don't replace brain cells.
