To be fair, I think I would’ve given similar grades except without so many A’s. The only hire that cycle that would’ve been an A for me was Lane Kiffin to FAU.

I also was pretty low of Applewhite- definitely a C and was high on Rhule. Rhule probably would’ve been my second highest rated hire. I liked Brohm a lot too.
