re: Throwing money won't get us a coach....

First of all one of the main reasons we didn't get a top flight football coach is because we didn't want to spend the kind of money it takes to get one. And you don't need to worry about us doing it in basketball we won't offer any big name coach and we def won't spend any money. I'm not even convinced we are going to fire Jones.

Considering how much the OC and DC make and the rest of the Assistant coaches in Football to say we won't spend any money is just ridiculous! For better or worse, Aleva went with Coach O FOR recruiting, morale and motivation and went with his plan to have independent coordinators who were the best in the business.

And I agree with the OP that no matter how much money we can't get a quality, big name coach. Guess what? At one time all big time coaches were small names on the way up. We can afford one of those if Aleva does his homework and chooses well. And yes I don't trust him either but he is what we have got.
