Assuming the offensive staff is let go in some form or fashion...who in his right mind would sign on as offensive coordinator or any offensive coaching position here? After reviewing the depth chart for next year and the thinness of the ice surrounding Croom, they would obviously be staring at a one year gig. And do those guys get 2 year contracts on top of the ones we just paid off? And then when Croom is fired next year, we still have to pay off the new offensive coaches? It looks to me like we only have 2 options..fire everybody or keep everybody.
Here's my question and I apologize if it's already been discussed.

We're screwed any way we go.
1) We do nothing - Worst possible option for too many reasons to mention. Basically, this does nothing more than set the program back yet another year
2) We keep Croom but fire a large portion of his staff - This really does us no good because we have to buyout the assistants that get canned, no one with any decent reputation will come here knowing that Croom is on his way out, and worst of all, Croom will still be here.
2) We clean house - My favorite option, but this does mean that some major $$$ will have to be raised for buyouts and we will probably lose a few recruits. That said, those things represent the price you pay to make changes, and God knows we need some changes.
So all in all, there's really not a great option out there for us and for that I'd like to say one last time, THANKS LARRY!!! You suck in so many ways

on more than one occasion...changing OC's won't work...there's not one out there who would be worth hiring..if there's one out of work, then why would we want him? If there's one who's "up and coming"...he ain't coming here. The only one who would come here would be an old washed up one who wants a quick paycheck or one who is unproven and nobody else wants....in short, we seem to be screwed. Only answer is a wholesale firing on the offensive side, at least.Original48 said:

keep the staff as it is. I don't like it but the fact is, it's gonna pretty much be impossible for us to win more than 5 games next year...whoever the coach is. We will obviously save a ton of money by waiting to fire him and the staff after the '09 season. Meanwhile, we pray that some of these sought after commitments stick with Croom and are molded by the new coach in 2010.
