I officially state for the record that I will be more than happy to eat a big huge plate of crow at this time next year if the program shows signs of improvement, not just in wins, but also in recruitment, and if the character aspects of our team remain at the high level that they currently hold.
The Chin has done all those things, beyond anyone's wildest dreams. And I prefer my crow bacon wrapped, please, with a nice bottle of Pinot.
But still, in no way do I believe Jay Jacobs was some kind of hiring savant when he hired Chiz. The whole PR thing of "Just wait - trust me - I promise I did the right thing - you'll see..." was kind of stupid. It smacks of some sort of superiority complex - kind of like when the Dems say we should just sit back and blindly follow them - they are better stewards of our money and they will take good care of us, now just relax...
No, it did not blow up in Jacob's face - just the opposite. But I credit that to dumb luck, and a certain JuCo QB, not his mad hiring skillz.
