OK so you really think that a new CEO gets to pick and replace all the critical people? A new manager gets to replace all his team?
And who says it was even done. How about Mac was forced to hire a much better s and c team, a much more effective OC, a great specials teams coach, and a great receivers coach. He might still be here and we might be winning a lot more.
I think that traditionally in sports:
A. A new head coach was given free hand to hire his staff. Some of the logic is that if you don't trust this guy to hire his own staff, why hire him.
B. A head coach in trouble was sometimes forced to change staff, in football usually a coordinator, in an area where it was clear results on the field were not good enough. This is why until the death threats issue most expected McElwain to get another year but be forced to change offensive coordinators.
I think the UF UAA in its hubris that they are UF athletics have switched this up in recent hires and started making demands of new hires starting with Zook. I worry they are trying to do this again.
Now maybe I am too UF centric and this is the trend all over the country. I do tend to follow UF by far the most closely or maybe the reports of UF getting offensive coordinators for Zook and Muschamp were just UAA bragging by leaking for public credit and that never even occurred.
