Jay Johnson didn’t fit the “Woodward mold” either. I mean he did ok at Arizona and then obviously had a good run on the backend, but it wasn’t like they were Vanderbilt or Florida. Best two seasons in conference were 1st and 3rd, couple of 4ths. Not world beating.

I agree that Johnson was not what we’ve come to understand as a “Woodward hire,” which I like because I think it proves that he’s more open than we think and is gonna put a lot of weight into recommendations and the interview process. He’s gonna hire someone who has a clear vision for the program, a plan to implement that vision, high expectations, and a great ability to communicate those. But I think you underestimate Johnson’s resume. It’s a lot better than how you described it.
