I'll be honest - I'm worried about the coaching staff hires. I'm not jumping off the ledge, but if this wasn't some super charismatic and well known guy we chose as our HC who is calming our fears, we'd all be losing our minds over how little experience everyone has at the college level. This is basically an entire coaching staff with little to no real coaching experience at the D1 level. This hire definitely had the potential to crash and burn, and the coaching staff decisions only make that a bigger possibility to me. I'm not saying I think that will happen, and I am all on board with giving Coach Dilf a fair shot/all the support. However, these hires are quite alarming on the surface.

I'm still cautiously optimistic, and Coach Dilf certainly talks the talk, but the lack of experience definitely worries me.

I am drinking the Kool Aid with you guys, and I like what I've seen and heard from Coach Dilf so far.. But be objective.. If this was Charlotte that made this hire, and the coach had an entire coaching staff with minimal D1 coaching experience - we'd probably be making fun of them for it and saying they're going to crash and burn. People are really smitten with Coach Dilf, and I think that is clouding some folks judgement.
