Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3529558, member: 6620"] I wrote about this over on "the Bench," but I was a tad surprised at that answer: - ND AD Jack Swarbrick has said this process this has been discussed for a few years and got kicked into play for a month. You'd think that determing whom your staff is -- or at least determining who won't be -- would be addressed, particularly since Post Coach Carol Owens and Wings Coach/Irish great Beth Morgan Cunningham have been with Muffet for a very long time. As Orangutan alluded, Mabrey1 will have to be dragged out there (MM and Niele laughed that they had Mike leading practices as a senior)...however, I think Michaela (Mike) is a solid, smart junior coach who can relate well to team members and prospects and would be worth keeping for at least one year to see how it works out between them. - Still Niele should be accorded the opportunity to determine whom she wants on her staff going forward. hat said, I'd hope -- and I'm sure the returning team -- would like to see some members back. - But, if you need extra time, get the public answer out in a succinct manner: "I've loved working with and/or coaching Carole, Beth and Michaela over the years and we'll have discussions on what works going forward." However, don't say they take second priority after recruiting. Yikes! I don't think she meant it to sound as caustic as I took it, but chalk this up to "lessons learned" on the job. Niele's too smart (and nice) to not learn from even that slip up. - Per HopJim's post, if Niele is not considering any/all of them, I think it would be good to advise much sooner rather than later: given the circmstances, it's not a usual job market out there. I hope Swarbrick keeps that in mind. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
