has worked out? I guess Snyder was over 65 when he came back to KSU? Where else?
There are two potential problems: (1) getting kids and their parents to believe that the guy is going to be there for 5 years (the duration of a recruit's time at a school), and (2) incentive: a previsously successful coach really seldom, it seems to me, will work all that hard in his 'retirement' job.
I think the Les Miles hire will be a disaster for KU. good deal.
Brown at NC may or may not work out ... he seems like an okay guy, but as I recall he was sort of 'retired on the job' a couple of years before he left Texas.
It isn't that guys can't function at 70 or 75 - you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a coach ... shoot if you are missing on a few cylinders it is okay ... it is that they have much less incentive to do so ...
