    This was a staff that he built. Why wouldn’t he take them with him? Have you not paid attention to other coaching changes, because this is what happens.

    It’s CMD job now to rebuild that staff and put the pieces in place for him to be successful.

    I agree with everyone. Doesn’t mean it’s not painful or easy to swallow. Definitely not throwing shade on Billy either…I get it. Just sucks.

    Some of these people might have come here with an agreement to go with him
    When he left. Might be why we were taking some of these people from the schools we were taking them from.

    It definitely sucks but it’s the price of success. Napier hired great coaches and took young off-firld personnel guys/gals, and developed them.

    CMD has to be his own guy. If he was only the right guy bc the staff stayed in place, then he wasn’t the right hire.

    He will go out and hire people he trust to do things his way.

    Well I’m sure CMD is more than capable of doing exactly what needs to be done. Still I believe that Billy took way more people than the average fan thought he would. The thing is we probably had an inferiority complex. Not actually thinking that our little staff was so big time talented.

    Agreed. I had no doubt that BN would 'rob us blind' once he made the move, and I don't begrudge him one bit for it. But it does sting.

    But I also believe that this will be the first real test for CMD, and it will a tough one for him. I think he will do a good job, but am not counting on repeating quite the success that BN had with this, at least in the short run. Hope I am wrong.

    I’m allowed to be unrealistic. I’m a fan.

    People How many staff members are still here?

    It seems like everyday someone is leaving. I know the goal was to keep as much of the staff as possible for continuity, but it seems like we don't have many remaining.

    Dynasties are so hard to maintain.

    Especially with the talking point of "we arent starting from scratch, we're just continuing what we have"
    Well, with each passing day, we actually are nearly starting over.

    It’s more about keeping the organizational structure in place. Des knows what he needs to fill and he will fill it with his people that he trust to do the job he needs done.

    You believe he’s been napping all the years he’s been here? I’m going to not worry about the unknowable. He certainly seems confident in his vision and ability to bring it to fruit.
