I really hate this line of thinking. It is retarded. Of course we don't. No one does. The problem is that because of the uncertainties, institutions must take calculated risks when hiring a chief executive. Those calculations are made on the basis of resumes.

It is no more retarded than your line of thinking, because "calculated risks" made by "institutions" extend way beyond a simple resume. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

People act like the last coaching job Orgeron had was at Ole Miss 10 years ago. This is convenient for your narrative, because you don't like the hire. But as a matter of fact, since 2013 Orgeron is 11-4 as a head coach in two seasons at two of the premier schools in the country. You can't simply discount that achievement because it came with an "interim" tag - in fact, it should probably carry more weight due to the unique circumstances that come along with that challenge.

Does anyone know how this will play out? No, on that we can agree. But frame your argument that way, not "we're gonna shite all over him until he proves he can do it, then absolve ourselves of any accountability for being a complete dick to him from day one."

You know?
