I am always a bigger fan of hiring a proven HC from a smaller program, guy who can do more with less, I know we didn't go that way either, and I am happy with Shafer, very happy but a guy that can recruit and coach at ND?  BFD.  Nobody has any idea how good this guy will be, he could be GREAT or he could be an unmitigated disaster.  Just don't know.

I think it's like hiring a corporate guy who has been VP with a large company and making him the owner/ president of a small company.  Sometimes it can be a train wreck because he now doesn't have this unlimited supply of admin, departments, cash, etc.  Whole different world

To me it's a big risk but what isn't. Like I said, I am not saying it's a bad hire, could be a great one but if it is he will surely be gone in 2 years but so be it.  Those 6-6 seasons will be epic beating SMU in front of 10 K for a birth to the beef bowl!

Thank god, I mean thank god we aren't involved in that  conference.  I don't know if I could be a fan anymore, I really don't.  Might have been the end of me.  UCONN fans don't know any better but holy  is that bad
