I've decided to give-up on thinking about the instant dream big-money hire. It was just a dream from a long-suffering Gopher FB fan. Venting too. But the Regents' actions and comments (and just who they are) has snapped me back to reality. And I'm tired of being negative. So my ideas will be focused within a $2.5M budget for a head coach.
That being said....I will kick-off my new-found attitude with an outside-the-box idea. Let's say I'm Coyle, I want to win, but I'm being hamstrung by the budget. What could I possibly do?? I have an idea. Find the son (age 20-30) of the best coach possible. Maybe Saban or Meyer has a son. I don't even care if he's in coaching. I'd make a secret deal with Claeys. I'd tell him to hire this kid as an assistant. I'd tell Claeys that we're grooming him. In return, I'd promise Claeys to go to bat for him and keep him a few extra years longer than he'd normally be here. Fight for an extra contract and money for him. But he has to groom this kid....and help spread propaganda that this kid is dynamite.
I think it's a good idea. With teamwork, it might work even better than the Pitino hire. I'm willing to wait, as long as there's a good plan in place. Note: I highly doubt this will happen either. But at least it's something different to think about.
