Carthel reminds me of Mary Ann Otwell. Fantastic coach and results at the jr college level, but when she came to SFA she had very little success. Carthel has shown repeatedly he is incapable of making intelligent decisions that result in wins. He may be a fabulous recruiter, but has proven incapable of getting any positive results with who he brings in.
Time for a change.
A Mary Ann Otwell reference! Never imagined I'd ever see one of those. I was a student when they hired Gary Blair, and the Ladyjacks had their glory years.
Regarding Carthel, here's my "Modest Proposal," if I can hijack Jonathan Swift:
Keep Carthel as Head Coach, but hire a "co-head coach" whose responsibility will be game-time strategic and tactical management. The co-head coaches will share the responsibility of game planning prior to a game, but before kickoff, Carthel sits in the co-pilot seat as the co-head coach has final authority on play calling, in all three facets of the game.
OK, before you fire off a "that's never gonna happen" response, let me beat you to the punch:
it's never gonna happen. Just a nice little fantasy disguised in a poor attempt at satire.
