[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1694917, member: 623415"] Sounds a little far fetched to me. As you say, BB is not stupid, so he finally gets another P5 head coaching job and he hires a “stop gap” for one of his two coordinator positions? He knows how important the first season is for setting the tone for his program and he hires a “stop gap” rather than choosing a coordinator that he believes can help him win and build the program? He hired Peterson and it didn’t work out. Some of that likely had to do with personnel, but BB was smart enough to see that even with better personnel (and without abundance of proof Peterson would be key to bringing in better personnel) he wasn’t going to see the type of improvement needed, so he moved on. Kudos for that. Not every hiring decision is going to be right, the key is to realize the mistake and make the correction needed. [/QUOTE]
