I guess I don't understand the meltdown..

I realize at some programs the HC also serves as the OC or the DC but does that mean that's the best solution? If the HC is not the XO's guy and therefor can spend more time on the insane number of other tasks a HC has to deal with like recruiting...couldn't that be an advantage? Whats the point of having an OC or a DC if the HC is doing double-duty anyway?

It's also more difficult to change HC's. Often the entire staff turns over, recruiting classes scramble, both sides of the ball have to learn new scheme's resulting in that "We'll get em' in season 2" mentality. I'd much rather deal w/ finding a new coordinator every few years than a HC.

In any case, it just feels like the meltdown is pre-mature.
