I missed the first minute of KO's remarks, and I winced at some of the "we was" stuff and all of the "y'alls," but I'm a 35-year-old non-religious white dude. That stuff isn't important. I think most of us were left with the impression that Kevin Ollie is the type of man you want to mentor your son.

Bingo.

I agree. Most of me loves the KO hire. I think he brings some needed energy to the program. Buttt, I was not impressed with that news conference either. The god stuff is definitely genuine. Hes not faking that, but I agree, not the best way to start off. And every third word he said was y'all. I can see why recruits love him and would want to play for him. I think our players will love him and he will motivate them. But he didnt seem like the leader of the program. It was so weird to hear him say "my team, my players" etc. The whole speech just seemed unprofessional and amateur really. He just didnt come across as the leader of a major program. Now it was his first press conference so lets cut him some slack, but I didnt think it was that great.

What am I saying? The Yahoo article confirmed all of my beliefs. Kevin Ollie is going to be a great coach. So maybe he needs to work on his public speaking a little bit. Who cares?! He is a great leader and I have no doubt we will be back to the Final Four in no time!!
