All this talk about who should and shouldn't be employed full time based on how much time it takes to do their job is ignoring the possibility that several people will be working above and beyond what they normally would, extra hours, to fill in. Something you can do for a year under these circumstances but not something anyone would be willing to do on a permanent basis. I expect Noble will be putting in some very long hours.
Also a lot of these jobs strike me as more of a you never stop thinking about it, but your not necessarily physically doing something every minute of every day.
They are being paid to know everything about the game plan, the club whatever, there would be a lot of things that everyone would know a lot of. If its 30% more work for one person that doesn't mean its 30% of a full time position for someone starting from scratch.
Another probably minor thing is that bringing someone from outside the club into the coaches box for just the year before Bailey returns or we can truly go after the best candidate who is actually working at another club is probably not a great idea as far as sending someone away with a lot of knowledge from our box, especially if we had a decent year.
