What it looks like from here is that schools and coaches are moving too fast in their attempts to magically create winning teams, faster than players can learn and adapt what so called winning coaches are trying to turn their teams into. The big salaries prompt new coaches to try to make overnight changes so they can justify their big paycheck. When a team does make it to the top their assistant coaches get lured away with big salaries the next years by universities with nonwinning records. In the background, a similar shuffling goes on at the Athletic Director level. Sustainability seems to be when there is a connection between ADs, coaches, players and the communities/universities that go beyond the paycheck. We get to witness the above at the southern end of the SEC every year. Oklahoma, Kansas … the heartlands, the old Big 8, was just the opposite for years. Welcome to the SEC :)
