No it isn't. It's being mentally prepared for the stress. You're assuming this is an easy gig if you simply assume you're gonna win. It's not.
Yeah ... it is. It is preparing for failure ... not stress. You prepare for stress other ways. Personally, if I was a hot shot young coach about to make the step to the big league, I would probably pass on UF. I know that is going to make people angry ... but ... going down a list of there aren't a lot of check marks.
1. Location? Great ... perfect. And already has relationships established.
2. Current talent and depth? No. And it will probably be worse next year when we lose some of our DL.
3. Facilities? No. Behind all the other programs he is competing against.
4. Booster/$ support? Yes. Potential is obviously there but would have to get answers before signing
I am sure there is more ... but honestly, timing is everything and that guy could come into UF being the shiznitch and leave in 3 years a failure. Our program isn't one coaching hire away from being great. We are getting to the point of being a overhaul. Our roster is depleted on both sides and losing as been instilled into the current players. Step back and objectively look at it. We are so much more than just a head coaching hire away.
