That's also my biggest concern. If he gets the job his initial staff should be fine, the only person who may leave due to butthurt would be Dana. However, I'm guessing even Dana would be fine, he's still here even knowing Bill's wishes, and he's known Sean for nearly 30 years. I'm also guessing we'll continue to pay our assistants well. As long as Sean wins, he'll have no problem getting good assistants. Ron's first staff was great, he had trouble because no one wanted to be around him, Sean doesn't have that issue.
Yeah, the transition will be interesting if Sean takes over.
My initial thought is that defense would have huge changes; Hayes, Mo, and Fabris would all likely retire. Seiler would likely be back, but I'm not sure he's coordinator ready right now.
I'd actually feel pretty good about keeping Dana and the offensive entire staff together. Dimel is reaching the point where he probably won't have the option of being a FBS head coach, so he can stay here and work with a familiar staff or go out on his own. I think if we continue to pay him well, he'll stay and the offense would continue (which I have no problem with).
