I'm sure I'm being paranoid/over thinking this but is this year a bad year to evaluate Coaches? Or maybe coaches evaluations have to be weighted differently then anything before these big changes.
1) How did a coach perform pre-TP and pre-NIL? Does that matter as much? Seems you would have to evaluate if they had better talent vs minimal talent - for me there was a larger disparity of talent in these years so that has to be taken into effect for or against depending on what school they were at.
2) After TP and NIL? What was their 'budget' - how well did they spend it? If they had none - how did their team change (lost talent)? GM evaluation along with coaching.
I think you have to understand budget and coaching pre and post NIL - along with the other. I guess I say it's a 'bad' year cause do we have a good sample size of how well Coaches are embracing this new model? Plus the model is changing probably in the next year ot 2 - so how well did they adept to change?
