How does Gus Malzahn view his coaching staff
My day job, that I have been doing for more than a few decades, is to teach communication to undergraduates. One of the courses I teach is Business and Professional Communication. In one section of this course, I talk to the students about how people, who ascend a corporate ladder from worker to management, either succeed or fail based on how they communicate with those they oversee. The overview of this section is the idea that the best management hires carpenters, while ineffective management hires hammers. You need a carpenter when you want someone to use their skills and talents to move forward towards your goals. You need hammers when you are doing a direct job and you need a tool to swing that will complete a task. This is the choice that Gus Malzhan seems to be facing, and hopefully learning, as he is staring down the barrel of his second consecutive losing season.

Are UCF coaches carpenters or hammers?
Sons of UCF is the brainchild of Adam Eaton and Michael Espinosa, two long-time friends and UCF alums, who also host the wildly popular Sons of UCF podcast.
