[Big Boomer]

Chuck Smith did for Boyle what Bear Bryant did for Alabama, that helped all that followed achieve success easier with the tone already set.
I think for Corbin if you could pick the the biggest issues would be micro managing boomers in charge that ran off Haddix and have stunted every other coach too and honestly in recent time and the cancer of wanting Haddix back. I feel like that book is closed on that and its time to move on, his success is unique to Boyle.
I do think that hiring Salmons was a great move and I fully believe he has the perfect storm to get them over the hump. I think he will build off of what is already good in the program but he has and will continue to expand on the player development in a way similar to McPeek at Frederick Douglass. he isn't a politician like previous coaches, he is a players coach. the buy in at the field house was immediate. I think with a lot of the micro managers retiring out either this past year and or leaving soon, I think Salmons is going to have a opportunity that Haddix never had during his tenure to set the path for success without road blocks and tons of support from the new people that are in place now. I think he gets them over the hump in the very near future. its exciting times in Hound Town.
