I don't know what some people were expecting.

I was expecting Kalen DeBoer. He was manhandling the job in Washington and I wanted him. His track record and age made him the best candidate for the money. When I found out he was also offered 10 mil to stay put and not have to follow Coach Saban at the Gold Standard of college football and said no thanks, I was in love. It takes a lot of confidence, a little ego, and plenty of talent to hold these elite jobs down. When that guy meets this job the sky is the limit.
