As I said before, there was never any true search. This was decided months ago.

But please tell me more what great shape the baseball program is in under her watch.

Just pointing out that it has been successful ...

I'm far from bullish on the hire ...

It's clear that they valued status quo and internal knowledge/relationships ... which you could argue is important given what Pete has the football program is poised to achieve in the upcoming years ...

We don't know how much she THINKS ... we do know that she CARES ...

Compared to some of the past ADs that this University has had in the last 20 years, the caring part will at least make her work to get things better and right ... that's better than can be said for some (*cough Todd Turner *cough)

They haven't been serious about finding the most qualified candidates for primary positions there in a long time, The "search" that led to El Prezbo was no more extensive. The UW's priorities are guided by checking boxes, not by finding the most qualified candidates.
