That by itself made it a bad hire. The AD's job is to keep the momentum going and he would have done it with a fiery guy in the Petrino mold but he instead went with his complete opposite. We should have known there would be a huge personality clash between players and coaches, and Jurich should have also.
But I'm still willing to be patient. What's done is done, and I don't think another transition will help things any sooner. I just can't cast aside the recommendations of so many college football people who think Kragthorpe is a great coach. I'd still like to see what he can do with a team full of his guys.
