re: Questioning Joe Alleva's ability to make a good hire is ridiculious

Trent and Nikki are terrible hires any way you slice it. All his hires at Duke failed, Except for cutcliffe, but he left before they were winning. So good on him for 1.

Man, you have to look at the time they were hired. Trent and Caldwell looked like great hires. Both had fantastic resume's. Trent was coach of the year Twice. He had a sweet sixteen appearance. Caldwell had UCLA winning, she had a number one recruiting class. I can't fault a man for thinking they would be good. If they had success before why wouldn't they succeed here? Every candidate mention on here is based on prior success. I don't see anyone saying lets go get a 500 coach, I feel he'll be a good fit and have success here.
