this will give walker a different coach every year for four years!

From what I've read, Coach Boals's strong points are coaching defense (which is certainly in the Seawolves tradition) and recruiting.  All good..No idea about assistants he might hire, but he'll certainly have his hands full near-term with all kinds of challenges:
-- Hire an entire staff (BTW, I believe Dougher went with Pikiell, as did Young, Rickard and Van Dyke)
-- Get close with the current players, and win their confidence so that they don't bolt
-- Recruit a top-notch player to fill the last roster spot for '16-'17 (yes, there's an open Scholly)
-- And, of course, relocate his family!!!

Good luck, Coach B.--you're going to need a boatload!!
