Well like with anything, people are giving him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.  Really no harm in that.

**A solid academic
**A track record of moving quickly up administrative ranks.
**An understanding of Catholic higher education given his work at Notre Dame.

Really what else can anyone go on?  I don't see anything particularly negative in his background.  Time will tell if this was a good hire.

Only coaches....need to get in recruiting classes and see how they play, how good of a talent judge they are.

The only thing I can think of to say in this thread.....it really is true that people can find ANYTHING to complain about.  Good lord, I have no idea if this guy will work out and I'm certainly not qualified to know if he should be able.  How 'bout we trust the people in charge that they did the right thing??  If not we can throw him out 4 years from now and try again.  Sweet jebus you guys must be exhausted from complaining, I know I am from "listening"

[GGGG]

I don't think many, if any, people are truly complaining.  Mostly light hearted stuff.

You're probably correct, just a combination of having a couple of alum chew my ear off on this topic, and the basketball board being a desolate wasteland of whining and petty bickering.

As long as he gives a good slap of five I'm 100% on board.

When does he start and does he take over the McAdams thing?  If so, maybe this is a chance to defuse the McAdams situation with a lessor penalty...?

Good question, thought I read he starts this summer, but I could be wrong.

[GOO]

Thanks, that probably won't help to defuse the situation then.

Some I do, some I don't.  Not an all or nothing proposition.
