but his coaching hires are solid.

Don't kid yourself. The baseball and men's basketball hires were practically controlled by our boosters and regents from start to finish. The one time he tried to undermine our regents/boosters, he offered the job to Mark Stoops hoping we were all too distracted to notice a news dump during the slow Sunday evening + Thanksgiving holiday news cycle. He only ended up embarrassing us (...yet again ).

If you want to judge his hiring skills, look no further than what he did to Women's basketball. He had a great candidate who is a former student coaching down the road. But he ended up hiring Georgia's coach instead. She had a very underwhelming resume and it shows. She just lost to the school she left a couple of years ago .

frick Bjork. He's done nothing but collect a paycheck and fight our boosters. Typically, I want an AD who stands up to our regents/boosters. But if you're going to stand up to them, then don't do it with dumbass ideas! Our administration asked him to look for a new job and Ohio State was stupid enough to offer him one. Good riddance!
