Overall, relief. It was sad, in a way, seeing JB make some of those statements on the stage. Almost sounded at times like a DL airing of grievances—like he wanted to say some other stuff, but... Juli was there. And then he also said some beautifully poignant stuff. So, a wash on that end.

Autry—like a lot of posters here, i didn't remember having heard him much/at all over his coaching career. But, for a guy who allegedly don't talk good, i thought he was pretty fantastic.

I wanted an outside hire. I didn't imagine a scenario where that would happen, though—where the AD would can a staff full of alums. So, yeah, this was the inevitable. That, and there really isn't a standout, sure fire outside candidate out there. Missed the boat on Oats, and anyone else either has baggage (Miller) or is as much of a roll of the dice as Red. The AD knows Red, so i can understand having some confidence, even though it will always seem like the easy/lazy choice, no matter what he says (he doth protest too much) about why he chose Red.

So, whatever. It's time to roll. I have a bit of optimism, but we're going to find out in the next month or so about who we're going to be rolling with on the court, and that's going to be critical toward building positive momentum. I hope we can make a splash quickly.
