re: Does it bother you that we are about to hire a guy..

Maybe to explain it another way for the group, see Laguna Beach, Season 1, Episode 1 (“A Black & White Affair”).

The episode centers around the Black & White Ball, which is a meaningful night for LC. Leading up to it, LC and Stephen have their usual touchpoints, enough that LC reasonably expects he might, for once, prioritize her. Instead, Stephen chooses Kristin for the night. He arrives with her, and spends the event in Kristin’s orbit. LC, clearly hoping for a different outcome, ends up visibly upset while the Stephen/Kristin PDA storyline takes center stage.

Would you rather be LC or Kristin?

Yeah, that wasn’t Jesus. That’s an Indian proverb. Jesus said if asked to carry a burden a mile, you should go two. Not that any of it applies to Kiffin.
