re: I'm excited for the hire and here's why.

quote:

---

1)O has been around championship caliber teams and has experience winning championships.

except under other incredible coaches. The times he's been successful were under JJ, and Pete Carroll. When he had the chance to prove it (after spending years with those guys) he blew it.

quote:

---

2)the players are willing to run through walls for him. He knows how to get them going and they will fight tooth and nail for him. We saw it with them calling for him to be head coach.

---

The players LOVED playing for Les Miles. This is nice, but they wooulve playing for any decent coach.

quote:

---

3) he's a recruiting genius. This will allow us to further better our recruiting.

---

O had worse recruiting classes at OM than Cutcliffe, Nutt, and Freeze.

quote:

---

4) he has a lot of connections and has learned from some of the best coaches in America including Jimmy Johnson.

---

This means absolutely nothing.

quote:

---

5) O isn't lazy and I'm positive he strives to learn something new everyday.

there are plenty of highly motivated people that dont know how to be successful. I see them daily.
