Any coach scared off by not having a perfect situation is not a coach worth having.

It's not scared off McC.....it's taking a calculated risk.  I've done the same thing in my career.

Here's the scenario....you're making 2 million a year at job you have security with, and complete with upper echelon performance.  Would you trade that in for less pay, no security, and piss poor performance?  I'd have a hard time doing that, UNLESS you doubled my salary.

I mean, it's just not that lucrative of an offer.  You couple that with a historically mediocre to bad franchise, an unknown at HC, it's just risky business.  A risk that has to have a comparative reward. 

I took that risk, and it worked out, but the pitfall was that the company was in such bad shape, we were on a C.O.D. only basis with many of our vendors.  Had it not panned out, I could have been jobless rather quickly with a bridge burnt by going to work for the competition.

You should know, I'm not a part of the sky is falling brigade, but looking at this objectively, this is not that great of an opportunity for anything less than top dollar for an extended amount of contract.
