Are we witnessing a paradigm shift that we will look back on in a decade and wonder why we didn’t see it and we’re slow to respond? Are we at a point where coaches need to be wildly successful their first year or it will not work out? Does a head coach now only have their first year to prove they can do something or it’s an uphill battle? I wonder this because the transfer portal now makes it possible for kids to jump ship right away if things are not going right and the increased turnover created by such a paradigm shift means top coordinators are bouncing to new gigs all the time to fill the open HC jobs.
If this is the case, is locking a coach into a long term contract a bad thing to do? Did Colorado figure out this paradigm shift early and Prime has a better strategy than Rhule which is to win now rather than try to build from the ground up over the long road?
