Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3134088, member: 1526"] Herbst needed to hire an AD with MAJOR college AD experience when she hired Manuel. He had a few years at an up-and-coming, but decidedly mid-major school. Her focus was all on academics, not athletics. His only real claim to fame up to that point in his career was hiring Turner Gill as HC at Buffalo. He was in way over his head from day one at UCONN, running a major conference athletics program. We are still reeling from the results of hiring this clown, who thought that sitting on his ass in the Virgin Islands "monitoring" the situation was the way we were going to get invited to join a real conference. Judging from his latest hiring fiasco at Michigan, he still doesn't get it. Sorry to the Herbst apologists, but that hire is all on her. [/QUOTE]
