This is what I have learned from watching elite programs making the right hire. They include, but are not limited to UK with Billy Clyde, U of L with Petrino, and Florida with Meyer, and UT with Bruce.
1. The fan base gets an immediate shot in the arm. The Volnation needs something more than the false hope of "watching film and working like heck".
2. The culture of the team changes for the better. There is nothing like playing for a good coach he has something to prove.
3. Recruits are much more likely to take notice. It sends a signal that mediocrity will not be tolerated.
4. The current players are now on equal footing, and the athletes have another chance to distinguish themselves without bias.
5. Perhaps this is the most important one. The team becomes relevant on the national stage, even if it is a one year honeymoon. People begin to talk positively about your team again.
