I’m in wait and see mode. I think we hired a real football coach for the first time since Kiffin. Those who think he’s not smart may find out otherwise. We will have to wait and see on that but I have seen him sound thoughtful. He is certainly someone who has his own opinions and doesn’t babble coaching catch phrases. The thing I am worried about most with him is NCAA compliance.
This might have already been posted, but I’m pretty sure this is hire is exactly 5 years to the day of Butch’s hiring.
Don't think I like that. He's not a loser like the rest of the staff, but I'd prefer complete turnover.
I'm pretty sure I said something to the effect of getting a new coach in five years the day Butch was hired, and it's exactly five years later, so I'll also accept congratulations.
The fact that this debate has legs is proof enough that we are once again hiring and hoping someone will turn out to be a good HC, when other schools are hiring HCs with track records. Even Arkansas.
