Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2497108, member: 56"] To everyone else in the country, it would scream panic. And that's what matters. The optics of firing a college coach, a former player no less, mid season would be poor. It's in the best interest of everyone, if it happens, to make the transition from one coach to the next as smooth as possible at the end of the year. It wouldn't help the program in any appreciable way. I can only see it hurting. The next coach needs to be able to contact recruits/players immediately on Ollie's firing to have the best chance of keeping them. The longer in between firing and hiring, the less the likelihood of keeping kids. And how would offense, defense and development get better? Same cast of characters on the bench. Only with more work to do. You got Larry Brown on speed dial or something? [/QUOTE]
