JD1976 you are really disappointing me

[PittPoker]

Of course there are 1 or 2 guys trolling the hire claiming it's great but most on here realize that this is a catastrophic hire. You have always struck me as a very knowledgeable poster on here but it is mind-boggling to me how you keep defending this man and the hiring.

I'm just trying to bring some rationale here. I am for sure disappointed we didn't land one of the Millers or Enfield. I would have loved Keatts or Drew. But I don't see it being the worst thing in the world to get a 20-year veteran coach who runs a clean program, is noted for his X's and O's, is part of the Roy Williams coach tree, and has had good talent at a school that has the same standards as the Ivy League -- and been able to compete with and beat Kentucky.

My issue is people thinking we are all boarding the Titanic. Once the dust settles, he's OUR head coach. The head coach of OUR team that we love. Bitching and threatening to pull donations is counterproductive and just silly.

I support whoever is in the top chair and I personally think Stallings is going to do well.

We shall certainly see!

Sometimes though JD, if there is too much backlash, threatening not to donate anymore, cancelling tickets, etc.. that could help stop a bad hire.
