Quality Assistant Coaches should be #1 on the list.

There is not a top notch program that doesn't have a solid staff. You may have a big year here and there with just a good HC and weak assistants but to develop a "program". You have to have a solid staff. Mayfield, Ft. Thomas, Bowling Green, Trinity etc.... These and some others are places that coaches will go and stay long term as an assistant because of how things are done.
