Mussman was a very young, inexperienced with no previous head coach experience. He had a young team and it seemed very little support from the AD (at least the season progressed).
A word of caution here: we also have a new HC and I hope the AD and athletic department supports.
In health care, many times a new nurse is thrown into situations beyond her (his) capabilities. Sometimes these people just walk away from the profession…sad to lose qualified people due to administrative decisions. I am not saying Mussman was a good coach. I am saying he did not get the support he needed.
Please make sure Schmidt gets what he needs….not just $$$.
