And that is before we ask who would actually be there to develop the players.
I don't mean to crap on the Curt Cignetti/IU story, I am just using them as a reference. Here are the staff members that left James Madison to go to Indiana along with Cignetti.
Quote:
Bryant Haines - DC/LB Coach
Mike Shanahan - OC/WR Coach
Grant Cain - ST Coordinator/TE Coach
Pat Kuntz - DT Coach
John Miller - RB Coach
Tino Sunseri - Co-OC/QB Coach
Derek Owings - S&C Coach
Alex Higgins - O-Line/TE Quality Control
Chaz LaPoint - Grad Assistant (D-Line)
Francis Meehan - Grad Assistant (D-backs)
Reed Relosky - Grad Assistant (Wide Recievers)
Nate Adams - Assistant Athletic Performance Coach

I know Cignetti did not coach the bowl game that year but I don't know how many members of the staff waited until after the bowl game to leave. My point is the people responsible for the player development and the team depth may not be there to do either or may be doing so for some other school. This is the business everyone including the kids have chosen even if this is the first time they realize that it is a business.
