re: Post Yea or Ney on this hire. i'll tally the poll 53-y 12-ney

I'm liking the hire more and more, as the initial shock wears off.


He's young, only 42. I thought he was closer to 50. He's a Defensive guy, played NG, coached LB's, Has had really stout Olines, can make offensive adaptations, etc.

His strengths have been some of the program's weaker points in my lifetime. I can't help but think Peepaw is really excited about the hire.

He's established, been really successful in a major BCS conference, buts heads with national powers. He runs his program the right way from all accounts, has a hot wife. Is a newlywed of less than a year so hopefully the new of banging his wife hasn't worn off.

Strong run game, and effective passing game. Saw there's a report that he could have taken more $, but wanted less to spread around to assistants. Is a farm kid, grew up on a hog farm I read. I think he may fit in better here than I initially thought.

Comes from Hayden Fry, Bill Snyder, Barry Alvarez coaching trees. Those are 3 legends. The more the day goes by the better I feel about it.
