re: So does the hiring of this Morris fella instill confidence

Yeah I think you have to say Morris is a better fit, regionwise if nothing else. Bert may have looked good but the hire was kind of out of left field and non-traditional and most of us were surprised.

I'll definitely say I feel better about Morris at the time of the hiring than I did about Bert. Bert won me over the year we had a top 10 defense. I was very much on the fence until then. Morris I have a bit more confidence in as he doesn't seem like a bumbling baboon walking down the sideline.

If I had to gauge my excitement it would be significantly above Bert but slightly below the Petrino hire. I think the only hire that would have had me losing my mind in ecstasy would have been Gundy.
