Major college coaching staffs often have close to 20 people, including quality control advisers, graduate assistants, etc.
The top programs might have a lot of turnover each season as up-and-coming talents move on to promotions, leaving a vacuum if the position isn't filled with an equal or better talent.
Where on the scale do you rate Coach Day's staff? Did he lose a key member, or more, from previous staffs (Kevin Wilson) comes to mind, that has had an affect? Is one grad assistant equal to the next?
Some elite head coaches fill their staffs with former head coaches, or assistants that will soon leave for head coaching jobs. Sometimes those quality control positions are key/critical to a team's on-field success.
It might take just one or two coaches to elevate a staff from an 8 on the scale to a 9 or 10. What do you think? Is Day's staff elite? Who are his elite assistants and which positions need an upgrade? We know a few are elite recruiters, and a few are great coaches, but is it enough? What other top programs have better staffs?
