Unfortunately, most people thought that it would be when SF was retained. I know I was worried that it would be. Hoped that SF would turn it around, but still worried that it would be wasted.
Who should our next HC be?

This is where Trev really screwed up. Frost needed to go last season and we would have had a new staff for this entire season. I feel really bad for the players who have endured another difficult year.

Do we have any examples of a coaching staff that has an Associate head coach and are successful? I honesty don't know so wanted to put this question out there if you all know.

Look at the bright side...this season looks to be stacking up to be much more of a buyer's market for coaching searches. Last year, we would have had to compete with USC, LSU, Notre Dame, Miami, Florida, Oregon, and some others. Although a lot can change as the dominos fall, there is no possible way the waters end up that deep this year.

At that point, I just think you guys are arguing semantics. IMO, there is no difference between those 2 titles.

What's the difference? I don't know that I've ever seen "associate head coach" I always just assumed people meant "assistant" when they say that or that they're one in the same.

Houston is the only team I can find that utilizes it. The difference is small but significant. In terms of the coaching hierarchy, associate coaches are one step above a normal assistant coach and one step below a head coach. This gives them quite a bit of power and if the team designates an associate coach, it does make them the true second in command in the locker room.

Again, why would it even matter at all? Maybe you missed it, but we've already added two new coaches to the staff in the middle of this regular season. Why would adding the new head coach to the staff be any different, from a rules standpoint? Only thing I can think of is that it could run afoul of the NCAA's limits on the number of coaches you can have on staff. If that's the case, you move Mike Cassano or Joey Connors back to analyst and sign the papers for your new HC so they can get started on recruiting ASAP.

I don't think we were getting Lincoln Riley, Brian Kelly, etc.. But we could have gotten DeBoer or others like him. It's too late now but the program would be in a much better position now having gone through an entire first year with a new coach.
