Chad seems to have done a great job on coaching hires, at least as far as we can see so far., with Hoyt, Lutz, and don’t forget David Taylor that also followed a alum/legend. The time hasn’t been there for most of them to prove it out with winning championships but reviving and excitement is certainly there. Wrestlings attention and attendance last year was nothing short of miraculous.
Also credit him, he is a fundraiser and he’s finding the funds, when many say it can’t be done. Many said he couldn’t fire Boynton because the buyout, and he did. Same with Gundy and his coaching staff, he did that too. Said we didn’t have the NIL funds to compete, yet football had 15mil at their disposal this year, and certainly enough to be competitive with.
Seems the media like RA and Haisten were making much ado about nothing over his contract situation. It was a given after he fired Gundy that it was going to get done. We just have to get through this next month of miserable football and then once the hire is named excitement will start to build again for football.
