A bit of hyperbole, no? Football team just finished a seven win season when the "experts" pegged our over/under wins at 4. Lacrosse welcomes the number one recruiting class in the nation after a perfectly managed transition at the top. Mens basketball is certainly in a difficult situation, but if you recall last spring, after the first losing season in over 50 years and a sit down with the AD, the HoF coach stated "There is an ironclad plan in place" to manage his departure. Fund raising, as much as you want to minimize it, is in the best shape ever. And non-revenue sports, yes, part of the job, have a perpetual national champion contender in womens lax, a mens soccer team playing at home right now for an opportunit to advance to the elite eight and a womens basketball program that survived a historic challenge and is poised to move into prominence under a dynamic coach.

Remember Mike Tirico's comment when asked if he was concerned about his alma mater hiring someone without experience running an athletic department. "Have you seen John Wildhack's rolodex?"

John's biggest weakness is probably his loyalty, but I am willing to live with that.
