When you have an athletic department that gross's as much money as ours does, you dont need someone to pinch the pennies, you need someone to spend the money you have on the assets you need to be competitive and I just dont think his mindset is capable of that.
Huhh???.....we went out and offerd to make Marshall a top 5 coach as far as compensation as well as all the support he wanted...and in case you haven't been following, there are a dearth of candidates right now...and the ones like Marshall have their eyes on the established programs that will likely have openings in the next few years. Frankly, we are lucky to get AJ.
I also completely disagree with your assesment of AJ on the X' and O's side. He is personable and should be able to recurit well. The risk of course is he is a career NBA guy not a college coach with everything that enatails.

yet he wouldnt pay the buyout last year to get rid of Grant. His hand was FORCED this year. THAT is the only reason he offered so much to try to get Marshall. He had no choice.
