But why do it if you don’t have to?

Because the next greatest coach out there may be an assistant somewhere.

Maybe, or maybe they suck.
Go hire a proven winner at a big time program. At least then you know what you’re getting.

Great point. Kinda like how LSU football hired Joe Brady and look at him now. Already getting head coaching interviews in the NFL

SW has a reputation of big hires. He has created that imsge st each of his stops so that now people here expect a big, big splash.
He is a victim of his own success. He can’t go low. He had to go hire or folks will be mad
But you are right, the next Skip might be a phone call away.

It doesn't matter who he hires, there will be a group of people mad.
I've seen people arguing against Corbin, Sulli, Vitello, McDonnel, Godwin and Casey. You aren't really going to find a list of more successful coaches anywhere else.

If Skip is your bar, prepare to be disappointed.

7 of the 8 guys on that list went directly into Power 5 Jobs and succeeded rather quickly.
So yes every HC was once an assistant. Most of them aren't put into big boy jobs right off the bat. Experience matters but not nearly as much as people think.

Would much rather gautreau than bianco or Godwin
Posted on 6/19/21 at 11:20 am to Lester Earl
I agree with you. It’s why the Vitello narrative that he’s unproven is dumb.

You are hedging your bets on what you’re getting. Any coach can fail
We hired Skip probably because we couldn’t hire a big name coach, but would we have been the same worn Ron Frazier his boss?
Idk. Ron Frazier won 2 CWS Skip won 5.

McAllen, Tx in da building

Hiring a big name coach is no guarantee of success and hiring an assistant is no indication of failure. It's a crap shoot either way. SW gets paid the big bucks to hire the right man, so I leave it to him and I'll support whomever he hires until I have reason not to.
