I didn't say all his hires were good. I said he's made some good hires.
There isn't an AD in the nation that hasn't made some bad hires at some point. It happens even at the sports juggernauts like Bama, UT, ND, UNC, Texas, etc. It's a harder job than it looks from a keyboard. Gets even harder when at non-powerhouse schools when fans don't support who is hired from the get go.
You miss on some.
The contract issues are another thing entirely
