Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 479567, member: 86"] I'm totally cool with this hire. It's really all about the timing. Had this happened before bowl season, I bet a true national search would have been performed. But given the circumstances, it's impossible to argue the logic of this decision. It's not like we had to make character decisions on people we didn't know. You work with these people day in and day out, you know what your getting. I'm sure due consideration was given to what affect printing Shaffer would have in the rest of the staff. People freaked out when coach p was promoted over edsall back in the day, but those who were around the program back then applauded. Edsall turned out to be a lunatic...gotta think those traits were evident then. I'm not saying Hackett is edsall, just saying horse are the easier sections to get right. Hackett is only 34 years old, he's got more learning to do. [/QUOTE]
