Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is if a HC leaves (like BB did), then they rarely coach in a bowl game. Assistants might take a new job before the bowl game starts, but they almost always stick around to coach in that bowl game. Such is the nature of the transition process. If Barry hires Rudolph, I a) expect it to be announced in advance of both teams' bowl games, and b) I expect Rudolph to stay with Pitt through their game. If Barry hires someone like Mel Tucker, I expect him to stay through the end of the NFL season (just as Bill O'Brien did when he took the PSU job). I don't think it's practical to announce a current assistant at one school as the head coach at another and then have the guy remain with his current team. Serving two masters is hard enough, but it seems to me it is especially difficult when a guy is becoming a head coach. Chyrst and Doeren both did this. I thought it worked out fine.

I'm gonna start watching the Weather Channel A LOT more, starting right now! Shitstorms were based loosely on predictions in the Book of Revelations.

Without distractions, who knows.Personally, I tend to think for the most part once coaches commit to leaving, they should leave but I understand it is tougher with coordinators

And Chryst's offense score 19 points when he didn't have another job, 38 when he did.
