Good article.
Stock needs to turn into his mentor Bobby Bowden - sort of the figurehead of the program while the assistants do the work. Hire some younger, hungry assistants who want to use this job to pad a resume to go to Alabama or the NFL. When's the last time we had an assistant leave for a P5 program? We have too many assistants who use this job as a day trip to the country club while padding their retirements.
The recruiting isn't good enough. The position coaches aren't good enough (especially in the trenches, as noted in the article). The S&C isn't good enough. Player development isn't good enough.
All these things are fixable, and pretty quickly too, even with Stock in charge - the problem is, he has to want to make these changes. I just don't see the desire.
Hanging out with your old golfing buddies and going 5-7 is just too easy when you're own boss is ok with it.
