Dumb argument. He’d go winless in football. He’s figured out the formula with 18-22 year old, largely affluent young women. He knows how to hire with his sport’s ranks. I don’t know why people think that means he can coach anything. He’s a great leader but there’s way more to it than that to be successful especially when you get to the D1 level. I’m sure there’d some interesting ideas on leadership and program building but they’d be largely anecdotal.
This is really interesting. At the HS level, coaches that were really good at one sport usually were good at the other sports that they coached BUT a lot of that probably has more to do with the talent the school has.
I have been on staffs where the head BB coach was really good and basically voluntold bo be on the football staff and well, their interest faded really fast. They were usually good with the basics, discipline, accountability, that stuff, but as far as coaching a sport outside of their passion they kind of sucked.
I also new a coach that had to take over soccer after building a really good wrestling program. He knew nothing about soccer, I mean it, nothing, and won a state championship. But he even said it was just because the team was really good.
