Sure. But if you are jumping from Main Street to Wall Street, there are gonna be people you can choose from already on Wall Street that are simply gonna be better than the guys you had on you team on Main Street.
I know its all ego driven but say Bill Clark or Napier took the job regardless of politics with Steele. No way in hell their wouldn't be upgrades they could hire over bringing the entire staff from those schools.
Regardless, Auburn has always been "lets turn to the coordinator" the minute the head coach gets in trouble. Chizik to Gus and now likely Gus to Steele
Then give me the funds to bring guys like that in, but you trust me enough to let me pick them.
