Did Wellman see his shadow?

Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President "Bobby": In the garden.
Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President "Bobby": Spring and summer.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
President "Bobby": Then fall and winter.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!

Hope you jokers are right. I've just given up hope on Wellmans ability to make good decisions.

Exactly. RW and Hatch don't know anything now that they didn't already know last March...

I wonder if, after having been turned down by a few coaches, RW told Bzz that if he would come here and keep our assistants, he'd promise him 4 years, no matter what. (Please, not more!)

And this could be one reason why others were hesitant to accept the job...

[Redacted] retaining all of Dino's staff should have been a major red flag. Means one of two things: 1) It was a condition of the job..what kind of coach agrees to that? 2) [Redacted] did have anyone he wanted to bring in...what kind of coach with 30 years of experience doesn't have a network of people he knows and trusts to work beside him?

Re #2... Didn't Bz want to bring that Abatemarco sleaze and Ron wouldn't let him? Speaking of red flags...

It was a red flag. One of many red flags.
