No, I would say the difference is ineptitude at the top.

I choose to believe the story about a can of mushroom soup! Question is how good are his connections and is he simmering, I mean stewing over a better offer?

I heard the can of soup was a lock for head assistant at IU. Great News!

My goodness there are some mamalukes on this board. Would love to see Powell on the staff. He could really resonate with in state recruits. Would be a dynamite addition.
John Phillips wrote about days like this...
“Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.
Monday Monday, can't trust that day,
Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how could you leave and not take me.
Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time...”
*ducking* out of harms way....
Man you two better stay away from sharp objects and guns for a while. Geeesh...:tsk:

To be totally fair to our friend up there, "dysfunction" is the correct spelling, so he left out a 'c' but did not swap an 'i' with a 'y'.

Guy B: "You're crazy if you think that is gonna do any good. That is just like rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship. It all falls on the head coach"
Guy C: "Yea, anyone who thinks that changing assistants will make a difference doesn't know much. Assistants are basically just for recruiting and skill development"
Guy D: "I agree with these guys. If changing an assistant would make that much of a difference then we have the wrong guy leading this program. It all lies on his shoulders for failing to run effective offensive/defensive sets and having his team prepared to compete on game day"

Guy D: "This is bad news. I can't believe it. We are doomed for certain"
Guy C: "Yea, this is definitely not good. This is gonna be John Groce redux. We are gonna fail miserably"
Guy A: "Jeez everybody chill. It's just one assistant coach. Our head coach will be able to teach his system to any new assistant coach and player. Just have to get someone who can recruit well and teach skill development. The sky isn't falling people"

Look at what Cuonzo is doing at Mizzou. Poaching assistants from other programs without knowing if they can even blow a whistle and carry a clipboard.
And it wasn't that many years ago that IL high school coaches were banging the drums to get one of their own promoted. What happened to that concept? A high school coach can easily become a top flight college assistant, right? Eh?
JW and BU already knew about the OSU assistants long before this board ever found out. And inside sources indicate that there is a whole closetful of resumes in the athletic office.

The first time something goes erong and people go off a cliff. We are.much more up than down.
Well, good grief. Let's just bring back Dustin Ford so that Canadian pipeline can start flowing again. Or Paris because that was such a fruitful hire. We brought in a guy who can coach circles around Groce and we want to act like none of that was possible without his assistants? Yeah, ok.
I heard Walker is taking Josh too.
Sheesh. Internet. The most worthless thing man invented and is still investing in.

Hilarious. S&C strikes again. Evans was on BU staff one year. Sky is not falling

I just heard that Brad Underwood's favorite ball boy decided to stay on at OSU. Oh the humanity!
Heard it was because he didn't like Zorba's or Papa Del's. Quite the turn of events.
I hear In addition to taking Josh, Cuonzo is also taking Nancy Fahey,
Whitman's wife Hope, His newborn, Lovie Smith, Our remodeled State Farm Center and Kams.
If he doesn't like Papa Del's we don't want him here anyway. Impossible to trust his judgment on anything.

I don't go there any more. Is it worse or better? My guess is defcom 2.
Cuonzo is hiring guys with more time assisting in women's ball but who have a history of producing D1 talent.
Anyone realize that Frank Martin started as a high school assistant and high school head coach for many years prior to being a college assistant?
