I think 3 things happened : 1) Buzz, 2) Rumors (Wojo, Cronnin) 3) over paid


1) Buzz: That hire COMPLETELY skewed our expectations this go round. yes the job should have been more attractive due to the past years successes, but not enough to enable us to go get a monster hire. We still have limitations (budget, etc).

2) Rumors: We were hearing about all these big time names that in addition to our inflated expectations, we now were justifying them with the likes of Wojo, Cronnin, Hurley, etc. The bar was raising

3) We did over pay for MY, regardless of what anyone says. And so that alone stunk of desperation.

These 3 things, IMO, skewed my reaction to the hire in a big way. MY could succeed. This hire isn't a catastrophe by any means. It's not what we expected, not what we all really wanted....but it's not a disaster...

I'm with you - I'm settling into the idea. We brought in a guy that we can expect to run a good operation and can coach x's and o's. If he can solve the recruiting riddle, we could be onto something, here...
