Very good hire and thought I try not to read too much into it, but **** it is hard not to, that is 3 great hires from a recruiting standpoint, including Cristobal at the time. All 3 we were going head to head against FSU and one we took from them who was already on staff. All this with this NCAA bs cloud hanging over. Now that is a subject that must have been discussed with these coaches, and apparently the message had to have been good enough for these coaches to choose us, plus the opportunity to work for a really well respected coach amongst the coaching circles in Al Magnus Golden. I have to believe that internally the program and administration feel good regarding the ncaa mess, or these guys would not have come, especially Coley. Either way from a recruiting standpoint very good hire.
Also with Cristobal, I understand it sucks him going, but also I understand him taking the job 3 times the pay and working for the top program in the country. And if it's true what my buddy was told, Cristobal went back to UM and gave them a chance to match the offer. If it is true that he did that, then he did do at least from that end the right thing of giving UM a chance to match the offer, and again 3 times the money you are making is a lot to pass up especially considering the program he was going to. His only responsibility is to put his and his family's career and income potential in the best possible situation. As a UM fan it sucks and we don't like it, but as a father and a man, I doubt anybody here would not have done what he did, and would also be fair enough to at least have the U to match the offer.
