In case you missed the news Wednesday: We’re trying a new format with this feature. Instead of one big mailbag each week — or every couple weeks — I’m going to answer questions from readers one at a time. There may be weeks where I answer one question each weekday; other weeks might be a bit lighter depending on my workload or how many questions I receive.
How do AD’s evaluate coaches in this new world (football and basketball)? It seems to be more and more about things that have nothing to do with (checks notes) actual on field/on court coaching. Also, does it change the role of assistants?
