Well yeah, opportunity for advancement within is something every new hire should look for. If that opportunity isn't there, then of course you can use a position for experience to take somewhere else.

But, in the case of Smart the fact that it is common knowledge the reason he wants out at Bama is so he can get a head coaching job somewhere has negative implications for LSU. You have to sell the program and sell yourself to the kids and families of kids you are recruiting.

While any successful Coord brings the potential for advancement somewhere else the difference between it being assumed and said is significant IMO.

Meh. That can just as easily be spun the other way in recruiting. The best are in demand, and our DC is one of the best. Come to LSU and take the opportunity to learn from him while you can.

Winning sells the program, period.

Even if it is said, that doesn't mean he might not be open to staying and enjoying his time here. At least with him you'll know upfront and LSU can get the best guy available come that time. I just hate how Chavis left this late and find it absolutely perfect for right now to get a guy on par with him.

Of course it is ideal to have a guy for several years, but this tends to not work out as often as most would like.. Plus if you do make a bad hire, that guy is fired within a year or two any ways.. You want to make this best hire for right now given all the circumstances IMO. Give me the proven guy in the conference with a tremendous track record every time against the unknown.
