A head coach can be this way if he has the right staff. Staying with the wrong

Exactly. Whit fires too quickly...Sitake too late. Both have had probs due to it

This could well be true. Bronco's guys don't always leave for greener fields

Bronco's guys don't leave because nobody wants them.

True, but doesn't erase the fact that he was successful for a long time.

Correct, merely pointing out how he too needed great assistants

I think Lavell proved it could be done already?

He proved it could be done in a lower conference. And there’s many more guys

I agree there are more jerks than nice guys. So glad to have a nice guy.

I’ve at times doubted whether he could, but I’ve always really wanted Kalani to succeed.
