Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 2656936, member: 889"] Not at all -- being an alum is neither qualifying nor disqualifying. But over the past decade we sure hired a bunch of underqualified alums. I was indifferent about Hobbs and in favor of replacing Miller, with the hope that a more talented recruiter would rectify the many high-profile failures we had in that area (Diallo being the icing on the cake). I also hoped that new, outsider voices would challenge KO on X's and O's and player development strategy, but it appears -- as you say -- that they were basically yes-men. On KFree as DBO, in and of itself it's not a problem, but given other hirings and promotions, he seemed to be handed the job with an expectation of being an assistant-coach-in-waiting. I hope that he gets a chance to start building his assistant coaching resume at a lesser institution and work his way up. [/QUOTE]
