You are right, but they wold start by providing him with what he needs to be successful.
1AA--
He has the tools. I posted on another thread that we were #5/10 in recruiting budget in the HL. Why then, doesn't he recruit better than half of the HL? Because he's not a good recruiter.
Salary shouldn't matter. One should perform at your best and EARN a raise. If he performed well, then like Bolden, Tressel, and maybe now Barnes...he'll leave for much better pay. So we can assume that Slocum is performing at his maximum.
I read that YSU WBB has for the fourth straight year has a higher attendance than either Can't or Akron WBB. Success creates success. Because of Bolden's and Barnes performance, everyone wins. YSU gets more gate revenue, the YSU HCs get MAC HC offers and more $$, and the fans get to savor victory.
So we can say salary isn't a factor, nor is recruiting budget. The facilities are adequate IMO. What tools does Slocum not have?
