Rate our hire compared to our peer? ANYBODY?? I want to hear how we had no better option.

Let's see how the product performs on field before we start calling for heads.

If we are ever going to be a great winning program, than we first have to win against our peers when it comes to hiring coaches, and than win against our peers in the recruiting wars. In my opinion, winning on the field should be the natural result of winning in the first two areas. In my opinion, FAU is currently ahead of us because they have cleaned our clock in coaching hires and recruiting. You can agree or disagree, but the proof is in the results.

Leavitt is the splashier hire, fo sho.

Time will tell if it was the right hire. 

EDIT: Looks like Leavitt has extremely strong ties to Florida now.  Hard to not be jealous of this, but it looks like FAU just had the added benefit of location.

Thank you Bill Belichick. I totally agree.

That's who I was hoping we'd get. Big steal for them.
