Dick Baird opines on the TUFF schedule

How many times has the loyal assistant ever met or exceeded expectations after becoming h.c.? You have Chimp, but besides him? They almost always get canned a few years later. ADs are stupid, especially ours.

David Shaw, Dabo Swinney, Chris Peterson, Jimbo Fisher, Pat Fitzgerald and Mike Gundy were all assistants on their teams before becoming the head coach. Just 6 of the current top 25. So "often" I believe would be the answer to your question.

Yeah but still
 
Lambo sucked and I hear he's not the great guy people make him out to be. I personally encountered him once for about 3 seconds (working on a golf course) and my opinion is he's a dick. FWIW I also encountered Gilby. Terrible lazy coach but seemed like a good guy.

Disagree. I've met him, knew his parents and a player or two who were recruited by him and played for him when he was an assistant coach. Competitive, definitely stern at times, maybe a bit stoic, and I don't doubt that you could find a player or two who didn't like those traits, but he is a good guy from a good family who does genuinely care about the players who played for him and has a lifetime of commitment to the program. His coaching record is what it is, but there is no need to personally attack the guy.
 
I heard Lambright is a homosexual. And a dick.
