By the way, an MU fan saying we made a great hire is cute. It's sort of like us saying MU made a great hire in WOJO! Gosh, I sure hope we can expect similarly spectacular results!

Everyone had question marks. Billeter only got Augie going the last 2 years out of 13 - he wasn't even Rob Jeter through 11. Donte Jackson is great, but he's only in year 2 as HC and in D-II. Pat Miller was never a candidate. The other guys are all assistants.
I think he's a great recruiter, a great personality, and his baptism in college basketball was in a program with the best culture a mid-major has ever put together, so I know he knows what needs to be done. Calling timeouts and making subs? That's a learning curve. But this guy is a leader and a quick one at that. I think he'll be just fine.
But don't kid yourself - it takes a village. And when the town shaman is poisoning the well, it really doesn't matter what the mayor can do.
