In my opinion Gene is not going to be dumb enough to dictate assistant coaches to a new head coach hire. That just does not make any sense. It doesn't pass the smell test. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot with your hire. Gene is not a micromanager no matter who is holding his feet to the fire. It is his ass on the line.
I honestly don't think this is Gene's decision. From what I have seen it looks like Bill still runs the football program.

I agree with your feeling. With that said, it is well known that Snyder is supposed "advise" on the next coach hire (weird contract language) and he wanted his son to get the job. I'd be shocked if his son is not on staff.

Could that have been the sticking point for Litrell? Tanking a coaching candidate because he didnt' want Snyder's son is a huge red flag.
