The Domino Effect Part II: Have We Been Spoiled?

by MillerTime89 on Jul 28, 2008 2:11 PM EDT

We are a university that is not used to change, and i guess our fears our now finally starting to come true. We have been lucky to have stability over the time Joe Pa has been here along with the coaching staff. My personal view is.. i've seen the all the head coaching debacles.. but don't get me wrong.. other universities have struck gold with their coaching finds.. but most of time.. there are a few misses along the way till the right coach is found. Look what Notre Dame has been going through the past decade.. Charlie Weis is a decent coach.. but i still feel his super bowls and pro success are the only thing he really has. Miami has had their coaching issues.. who knows how long Randy Shannon will be there, i still feel for Larry Coker.. he was a good ball coach, heck he even won a national championship.. don't forget the Alabama ordeal.. my point is, say we bring in another guy.. and he falls on his face.. then another guy and the same thing happens till we find the right coach.. it's just a scary thought.. because that could really damage our tradition.. especially after we are used to such stability.. will we know how to handle it? I know there are the same risks with hiring someone from the inside.. but we know the guys we have now can coach.. i am a diehard fan and i will bleed blue and white till the day i die.. and i do not want to see my Lions falter.. i just don't think life without Joe Pa will be all that everyone thinks it is going to be..
