Every assistant coach in America wants to be elevated. They want the status of an increased title or responsibility, they want increased income for themselves/family or they want an improved locale just like any of the rest of us. Coach Ena is fairly young in coaching and wants to climb the ladder. Great for him and his family…increased responsibility and a pay raise as well. We have a DC…Justin wants to prove he can do that job. He’d be crazy not to take it…has to be a coordinator to be an HC.
There was probably only one HC job that Gary would have been offered based on the past 5 years and that was Utah St. It’s his chance to be relevant again and honestly if it doesn’t go well it’s his last chance to be a head coach…why not roll the dice?
Sione is a fantastic new addition to the program…an incredible recruiter, coach and an even better man for these kids to be around. We’ll replace Justin with a highly qualified coach as well…plenty of aspiring guys out there who want to be part of a successful P5 program that promotes from within and provides bigger opportunities for their staff.
Frankly if your leader isn’t developing talent that others covet then he’s not worth his salt…the more guys we send out with connections to the U the larger the candidate pool becomes when we need to make a change.
The program is in excellent shape and should remain that way for the foreseeable future.
