Wyo-UNLV game AD problems

Burman's judgment appeared sound at the time; the outcomes sucked, I agree. But I think most people felt he had made an excellent hire.

Sorry about this...but...

I met dickface about a week after he was hired, and knew instantly there was a serious character flaw there. Surely the way he manhandled Tom week one (and from every day thereafter) Tom himself finally figured that out as well.

Why it didn't surface in the interview process - I have no idea. No wait, I have an idea...Tom is SHITTY at interviewing and is a horrific judge of people. That is a crucial part of being the head of a department - any department.

I am grateful for the hiring committee pushing Shyatt down Tom's throat.

Gonna have to play devil's advocate here MP. Most successful college coaches that I have interacted with are not the Joe Glenn type. They are not personable and friendly. Some are assholes, and some are just downright weird. Nick Saban...very awkward, lacking in social skills, BUT great coach. Urban Meyer, cocky asshole, BUT great coach. Jim Harbaugh, another asshole, BUT great coach.

Now if you are talking about some other kind of flaw, like he came across as mentally handicapped or something, then I have no argument there. But character flaws do not disqualify one from being a good coach.

In fact, most of the successful coaches I have been around have an air of cockiness/superiority around them, even in public.
