Agree that Wolford committed "Head Coach Suicide" by his inability to locate and hire a competent dc. His failure was all on him.
I keep thinking about the financial figures presented by UCF last week, and it just makes me more angry. Between Phillips and the coordinators, we are paying out about 500k in salaries. That is about par for the MVFC. How about this plan:
We all know that Tressel was his own oc; Klacik had the title but Tressel ran the offense. Is there any reason why on the FCS level a head coach can not also run the offense or defense? If we can dispose of Phillips, hire an experienced oc or dc, make him the head coach, and pay him 400k. Also hire and pay 200k to the other coordinator. For a mere 100k more in the budget, we then get a highly paid head coach and a coordinator that makes TWICE the salary of any other oc or dc in the MVFC.
For those that say that one man can not be the head coach and a coordinator at the same time, Tressel in his later years at YSU was also the athletic director. It can be done.
We must do something. The status quo will bury this program beyond the ability for resuscitation.
