In response to bison63
Past coaching hires had head coach experience as a prerequisite ( not sure in Flannery’s case if it was actually required, but was for DP & ND.) If Truax follows that course, not an unreasonable one, it works against Griffin, whom I would love to see get the job. My gut says “no” to DP, you can’t go back, and a Fisherless DP does not excite me.
The road map has been to hire a successful D3 coach. Maybe the ND failure will result in a new map. Also Griffins family history may obviate the lack of actual HC experience. Hope so.
Do we know that was a prerequisite? Or is that just the way it worked out? I know when Paulson was hired that they did interview D1 assistants, and I know when ND was hired that there were D1 assistants interviewed. Why interview them if they don’t meet one of your prerequisites?
It probably doesn’t mean much, but when Truax has hired head coaches in other sports, it has been mixed as to whether they had head coaching experience. In football, women’s basketball, and men’s soccer the new head coach had previously been a head coach somewhere. In field hockey, volleyball, and softball the new coach had been the top assistant at a good program.
