I’m waiting on Jimmy to coach a couple games first. This is still sizzle. I’m starting to expect the worst, but everything gets fixed by winning.
The problem is that there is so much talent on this team that this team could be very good if there is a season. We know for the most part that the coaches can coach (by and large).
Problem is coach is just part of the job. The lack of recruiting is going to torpedo the program down the road ... that’s the major risk.
Jimmy going 10-2 or 11-1 this year not only results on Jimmy doubling down on what he’s doing being the right approach but almost assuredly results in Jen extending the contract.
Anything Jimmy does in 2020/2021 is riding the bow wave ... we don’t learn about Jimmy until 2022 at the earliest
Helfrich made a title game, but his lack of recruiting ended him in year 4.
I would take a shot at a championship in exchange for sucking ass two years later and being back on the coaching carousel.
