UMass bungled the search from the beginning by only going after current head coaches as candidates. They were not looking at assistants. QU to UMass is a lateral move, then they got egg all over their face when the Holy Cross guy turned them down. They also tried to get the associate from BC, but that's more or less a backwards move from there to UMass. Now they just look like complete fools, but I think they may have found a guy. Either way, this is the book on how not to hire a coach.

Very much a "best we could get" hire, taking the associate from the team that finished waaaay dead last in the conference last year, and was one of the worst teams in the country.
