I would take him as a head coach. I realy dont see what is wrong with a transition coach right now. get a guy you know for a fact is a good coach that will get this program pointed in the right direction. then hand it off to young guy.
guy you need to think about this. if we get wome young coach that looks really good on paper, but comes here and flops, it could take FOREVER to repair. if you can get him... you take him.
I don't know that we can flop anymore than we already have. Personally I would like a young coach to come in, someone who will stay for awhile and eventually promote within, not someone to just pass time by as a transition coach.
