I agree with your assessment that he needs to relinquish his control over the assistants. That being said I also see a need for the OC and DC to be released and get some new blood on board that can defy Kirk to some degree. We need a proven OC that will be given free reign to run the offense that he see fits the personnel that we have. He can be hamstrung by Kirk in any fashion. That OC should have complete control of the offense and the personnel in his offense. No more Wiesman plays over Daniels/Canzeri crap. Kirk can still work with the line as that seems to be his passion and it's a place that we need help with but let the OC run the offense. I think to some degree Phil Parker is serviceable but he strikes me as as yes man type of guy. I'd prefer someone with some passion and fire than what I see out of him. Scheme wise I think we are fine but our defense lacks playmakers. I also think the trial run for the recruiting coordinator Seth Wallace can be let go. His Valdosta State roots did not serve him well in this recruiting class and its time to get someone in there that can recruit. In both the new OC DC hires BOTH need to be BOSSES on the recruiting front. If I remember right I know Norm Parker didn't recruit but I thought I read something that GD doesn't recruit. This is 2015, and I can't think of any worthy staff that the OC or DC gets a hall pass from recruiting. The focus as you can see in my dissertation needs to be on coaches that are freaks at recruiting. The x's and o's will fall into place when we get better recruits.
