I took the internal portion as if for whatever reason he can't find someone he truly feels is worth it he "recruits" from within for Eaton or Teddy so he can have someone that's available to go out recruiting the next year and then gets someone at the top of the list next year. I wouldn't expect it to a long term thing.
That's more bush-league to whatever "internal" option they have to fall back on than what Burno did. You don't hire one of those guys and then fire/demote them next year when the coaching carousel comes along again. It's not the same as recruiting, you don't "recruit over" your coaches. Those guys have connections and pedigrees. They don't have experience and this probably isn't the place you want them to get their first AC jobs, though. That doesn't mean one of them isn't a star waiting for their opportunity.
What if the "internal" guy is down with being promoted for a season before returning to his old job (or moving on to something else)? What if being promoted to full-time assistant burnishes his resume to get a real promotion somewhere else? I mean, if he understands the deal and knows that it's a one-year thing, who are we to care?Because it would be like having a walk-on coach who got a scholly just because there was one to give. Now, if Trevor Menke were the guy, then I'd be all in!
