[QUOTE="illiguy85, post: 1301515, member: 54983"] That's the whole point. It's a process and in order to develop that relationship you need to have someone on staff who can connect with Chicago. Granted, Jimmy Collins was from NY, but his impact in Chicago speaks for itself. Same with Jerrance - he's from Peoria but he started to make those inroads in Chicago even though the actual return on investment wasn't 5*s. If we're trying to cultivate relationships with Chicago, why not have a guy on staff who "gets" Chicago and can make inroads. These are all abstract arguments, so very curious to see who BU brings on board. I'd be shocked if at least 1 of the 2 positions wasn't filled by someone with Chicago ties. [/QUOTE]
