re: Comparing CEOs Record to Les

O is an improvement over Les. Recruiting won't suffer. O will actually install a modern offense and give the OC the freedom to run it. If O can learn to manage the game, clock and how to keep focus, manage distractions he will have to chance to be exceptional.

When has O ever installed a modern offense? If he's somehow successful initially, do you know what happens to successful programs?? their coaches get hired for promotions. When has O ever successfully identified and selected coaching talent to fill these vacancies?? One of the pros of O is his salary is lower and leaves more room for assistants. If O is (again, somehow) successful do you think he'll be fine with being paid like shite compared to the other top tier coaches in CFB?? Once he demands more salary we'll have to identify actual coaching talent rather than throw loads of money at the hottest names out there..

Les had a lot of positives and eventually became too stubborn to overcome his few deficiencies. O has maybe a couple positives, noticeable negatives, and at best a shite load of question marks. To compare him to Les favorably at anything other than being an interim coach is insane.

This hire, in the best words, is ridiculously short sighted. I'm going to put on some rubber gloves, grab the next shite I take and throw it at the wall to see if it sticks. I'll be a rich mans Joe Alleva at that point, At least I'll realize what I'm doing is utterly ridiculous.
