What does hiring assistants have to do with what Coach Thompson can bring to the table, especially if your not an advocate of the buddy system?
There is no paid assitant at FHSU other than a graduate assistant! So, it is currently more of a "take what you can get" situation. Currently he has a pretty good situation...Brandon Jobe works at the school and is an assistant that he would not otherwise have available.
I agree that having a good group of assistants helps any head coach...it's too bad they currently don't have the budget.
Let's change the tune of this thread...it has been about everything but welcoming Coach Thompson. I know he is in the process of developing a fund raising campaign...I encourage everyone to get on board. I will spread the word once I hear anything.
