You're not getting his point. You're speaking in absolutes. There is zero guarantee you don't wind up with a Z list pick. While at least most of us are Whitman fans, he has yet to compete in a carousel and secure a top coaching target. There is nothing that proves to us that he is a major draw to candidates as an AD, and nothing that proves he will secure his top target 100% of the time. I am all for appreciating what he has done, but treating him as some man amongst boys in the AD ranks is being a little unrealistic, considering how green he is at the D1 level.
None of that is preventing me from wanting to make a change, but one should not speak as though anything bad that happened in a coaching search under a previous AD can't possibly happen under JW.
I understand he's green, but the last failure was because of how undesirable the AD was. Lack of experience wasn't the issue. I get his point, I just think it's so far outside the realm of possibility that it really doesn't matter.
