As to the HC in Waiting, are we in a position to make that kind of decision before he even joins the staff? Will there be good chemistry? Does he have the skill set for being a HC at a program the size of UGA? How do we know this, from his time at UGA before?
I am not sure how I feel about the whole HC In Waiting concept as it has been applied, but I am sure I don’t want to make that commitment until we get a closer look at the merchandise. There are many great regional managers who don’t have the skill set to run a national operation. And even more assitant coaches who cannot take that next step.
It may come to that with someone once they are in place, but I would definitiely not want to use that as a way to hire KS. I actually am more in the camp of hiring people who have already been HCs. You get lucky sometimes with bringing a coordinator in, like we did with Richt, but that is too risky in today’s market and where UGA is within that market.
