I want to clarify my position - I don't have a problem with Red, GMac, or Hop being included in the list of candidates.  I just want the University to perform due diligence, and hire the BEST coach that we possibly can.  If Wildhack does that, and we can't scare any candidates up who are better than the ones already here [which would be nearly impossible to believe], then there's your outcome.

But I'm completely against artificially constraining the candidate pool based upon what amounts to a "nice to have" criteria [i.e., former ties to the program] over far more important "need to have criteria."  If AW talks the talk about due diligence, then announces that the top 2 candidates are internal, I won't be happy.

Someone stated earlier in the last day that this decision is how Wildhack's tenure as AD for his alma mater will be judged.  He'd better get it right.  The way to do that is not to handcuff yourself to artificially limited options.

Hire the best coach you can.  Period.
