Stew Mandel had an interesting question in his mailbag on The Athletic this week (paraphrasing): How would you allocate a $10 million budget to hire a staff, including on-field coaches, performance staff, recruiting coordinators, etc.?
He responded saying that instead of working within a budget, he would provide his order of priority:
- Strength coach
- personnel director (recruiting coordinator)
- offensive coordinator (preferably one who's also a really good QB coach)
- top recruiting assistants
- defensive coordinator
- training staff and other key support staff
- other position coaches.
I thought this was a fascinating answer - I don't think many fans would prioritize recruiting above the DC, and I think even fewer fans would prioritize behind the scenes staff over position coaches. Strength coach is a bit of a surprise, but I've heard enough media members assert that the strength coach spends significantly more time with a player than any coach, so I'm not as surprised to read that.
What say you?
