Dear Andy & Ari: Coaching wins above replacement & salaries; private school recruiting challenges & how do you fold your t-shirts?

Increased coaching salaries are awarded for a number of reasons, but in the case of another university or the NFL poaching skippers, do ADs have access to that information or are they taking agents' words at face value? Is it prudent to call a coach's bluff? Which coaches rank best in wins above replacement, and should there be concern over long-term contracts? Besides the obvious, what hurdles, if any, do private schools face in recruiting? What about U of 'X' and directional schools? Lastly, how do you fold your t-shirts, and why should you make your bed every morning?Follow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Ari on Twitter: @AriWasserman Hosted on Acast.
