Former Hornet Coaches Doing Well

[superhornet]

Lou Baiz - DC at Folsom HS (6-0)...#14 in the nation

Jon Osterhout - OC at American River College (5-0)...#3 in the nation
Jerry Haflich - HC at ARC

Angus McClure - DL Coach/Recruiting Coordinator at UCLA (5-0)...#9 in the nation

Great Hornets are doing VERY well AWAY from a HC that did not appreciate what they brought to the table....

From looking at Sperbeck's history with the program, I got the feeling that he blames the lack of success on his staff. Two or three times he's gotten rid of the staff almost completely since he's been here. To me, that appears to be scapegoat actions.

You need to look at the definition of a head coach. It is his responsibility to address weaknesses in the program as he sees them and to improve them. If that effort means changes in the staff that his call to get the job done. You may not agree with Sperbeck's staff choices but unlike John Volek at least he has the guts to make decisions and try to make the program better.

Changing an assistant coach here and there as needed is not the problem. When an HC has replaced his entire staff or the majority of it more than once, that's just blaming others for failure in "leadership".

The argument for perspective can just about always be made.

Edit: I'll add, the common definition of insane is to expect different- better- results from doing the same thing over and over again. Sperbeck has replaced the staff and eliminated coaches again and again with the same end result. He's not the only insane one. We're all insane for expecting better results with Sperbeck after witnessing the same results season-in, season-out with him.

I have no problem with the changes. In Sperbeck’s opinion he saw things weren’t working and made some moves and that is completely up to him. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, and sometimes they work for a while then stop working. Some coaches decide to leave on their own for better opportunities; it’s the nature of the industry.

If Sperbeck is around past this season, I expect even more changes this offseason. At least he isn’t returning with the same staff year after year wondering why things aren’t working.
