re: Did Alleva not know that more than 2 HC candidates were more qualified than CEO?

How do you know he didn't contact more coaches? How do you know nobody wanted to take over this job with the expectations as high as they are right now?

Hell look at the expectations on which coach people think we can just snag as if they don't have a say in the matter. Our top choices made a different choice.

No need to reach and overpay a coach that might blow up the good parts of the staff and ruin a great recruiting class. If O fails to land his OC and a competent QB to start next year, this won't last long. There will be many more coaches available in year or 2 if we need them. Most of them are just settling into their new places.
