No matter who we hire they will have spent their life around football and have had a plan to execute when they become a head coach that they have created from observation. Hire the guy who sells you on how his program is gonna be, regardless if he has done it before or not. I say this from experience, having a plan of how you’re going to run a program once you’re the top dog is quite different than actually doing it.

Well of course it is, but having the ability to know when to adjust and/or stick with the plan is the difference in being great.

When I was living in Texas, I had a manager from San Diego. He asked me to take him to breakfast. Imagine the look in his face when I pulled into Chick Fil A. It only took him one chicken 🐔 biscuit to make him a fan though. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that you can not totally discredit experience, but you can easily over value it. Where do you think the “ability to know when to adjust and/or stick with the plan” comes from? Experience... both screwing things up and seeing a plan come together. I’m not totally discrediting what I think you’re saying- some people were born to coach and are better at adjustments in their first year than others who’ve been doing it for 20 years. But every single one of those coaches who starts out with a solid blueprint and is willing to adjust early in their career has learned valuable lessons and has grown as a coach with years of experience. I don’t want Steele over a guy like Napier because he has more head coaching experience, but the my original point still stands, having a plan of what you’re going to do is very different than actually carrying it out...especially with the multitude of variables and unknowns that come with running a program.

As for Sark, looking at the rumored money he's asking I'm sure his hiring would come with the qualification of keeping Steele and loading his staff with inexperienced former Auburn players turned coaches. We'd be in a similar boat. I'm ready to be proven wrong, however! I agree Clark is solid at the high school and UAB level. Gus was solid at the high school and Arkansas State level. GUS HAS PROVED HE IS LESS THAN SPECTACULAR AT THE POWE 5 LEVEL. I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK AUBURN AGAIN FOR CLARK TO PROVE HE IS LESS THAN SPECTACULAR. I agree with you that I don't want anyone that is manipulated by the Board but I think Clark is the one that will be manipulated by the Board. If the Board tries to manipulate Sark he has options. He can stay at bama and be successor to Saben or he can wait for the next power 5 opportunity to come along and with his background there will be opportunities. Bill Clark the opportunities may be non existent unless a periennel cellar dweller like Kansas or Vandy offer. Sark's reputation among the coaches are better than Clark's so his pool of potential assistants will be far better than Clarks. One other point does not directly deal with Sark but in directly. Last CUSA championship football game pitted FL Atlantic vs UAB. Same conference similar talent coach FL Atl lane kiffen significant power5 and NFL experience similar to Sark, UAB coach Bill Clark high school experience. SCORE FL ATL 49 UAB 6 I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
