In other news, if WM can't or won't do the obvious then he should go too, and probably should go first.
Herbst should be asking him for a plan with potential names and budget numbers. If he doesn't have this information available on demand then he hasn't been doing his job and should be fired so that we can hire an AD that will be able to pick his coach. Our next coach deserves a stable AD. If WM is going to continue to be the guy, then fire P this morning name whomever as interim and go get your guy.
