Really good young coordinators don't stay coordinators forever.
We want Leach to stay until he is done coaching and has had time to build a legacy, whatever it may become. And secondly I think it's important that we keep Big Joe here as long as we can. Beyond that, we are going to see assistants come and go. It is a credit to our football program if Leach's staff is cranking out coordinators and assistants that get promoted through hiring at other programs. That means, during the process of this happening, that we have a winning football program.
I'd rather lose an assistant through getting hired elsewhere, than through more firings. It's been quite some time since we've had that happen here.
