If he comes, I'll root hard he is successful.

However, I hate the hire on several levels, just 1 being O$U. Mostly don't like it because it seems they didn't learn and are more interested in hiring a coach that sticks. He spent a limited time as a HC and wasn't successful. Sure they had all kinds of things going on, but O$U talent is deep, I don't think it's an excuse. I don't know enough to know if it's a good hire or not, but I don't like what I see. Hopefully, he's the right guy if he gets the gig.

I'm not going to hang too much on his one year head coach job. There is a lot more preparation that goes into acting as head coach. Being thrust into a position you weren't preparing for and not excelling is forgiveable with a team in complete disarray. Suspensions etc...the whole nine yards.

Contrast that with Fickle deciding recently he wanted to head coach. He's been building a plan with strategies etc.

It's not even as close as apples and oranges...
