[QUOTE="Lexis20, post: 1567634, member: 746655"] Let's face it...the Lovie era was over. He was doing nothing for UI in the community, the program was floundering and trending downward, and he was going along on name recognition only. Folks that know him generally say he is a good guy and that's admirable, but he was getting paid big bucks to win and grow a program. He wasn't doing either. I think BB is a great hire. Can't understand the naysayers. This guy was the right guy and I expect big things. In the era of transfers, he may be able to get things moving in the right direction much quicker than in past coaching changes too. [/QUOTE]
