Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to this strategy. There are some damn good head coaches out there who have the AC title and would like the step up to AD. A top level coordinator at a good 5/6A program would be a good hire also. The only way Huffman gets this wrong is hiring from within. I am sure there are some good coaches on their staff, but after 19 years with one voice, its only natural that it gets stale. Huffman needs to bring in someone energetic that builds culture throughout the entirety of the athletic program. They need a guy with the desire to promote the athletes in that program and get them looks from colleges. Huffman has struggled with that in years past. I'll say it again, this has the potential to be a program shifting hire, and it could go either way. Sky could be the limit, or if they get it wrong, Huffman could settle in to being a baseball/softball school with a mediocre football program. I truly hope those in the room when these decisions are made understand that. Just because someone is from Huffman, or has been at Huffman doesn't mean they are the best candidate for the job. Maybe it will finally be posted soon so the process can get started.
