Yes, of course, winning 9 games in the west at low-attractive MSU, Starkeville, requires for sure a very good CEO who has put together supporting coaches to somewhat 'develop' over time. Still, that doesn't mean 'innately' better
coaches cannot be elsewhere. Point taken = DM feels he can be more sure about those coaches that have been cogs in DM's smooth operating CFB-machine. Best hope is that if a coach is discovered-uncovered to not "have it", that friendship, won't allow him to hang around. In this business, friendship can help, friendship can hurt, but as recently seen gutlessness can hurt a CEO the worse. :D
