I guess I'm getting old.
This line of succession for coaches is nothing new.
In fact, the prime example is Joe Paterno. Penn State had a pretty classy head coach by the name of Rip Engle before Joe Paterno took over. EVERYONE knew, especially the athletes he was recruiting, that Joe Paterno was taking over.
This enabled him to build an outstanding couple of classes (Ted Kwalick, Mike Reid, Bobby Campbell, Charlie Pittman etc.) that made this program into what it became.
I would hope that Joe Paterno would have the decency to do the same for his successor.
