[QUOTE="LFOD, post: 1569184, member: 9439"] I wasn't too positive about BB during the search phase, but somehow I can't vote anything lower than an A at the moment. I would have graded the Lovie hire at a B, back in the day. It felt like a pretty good step to grab a former SB coach, given the horrid situation we were in at the time. Someone else mentioned that BB's resume is the best of any coach we've hired, and I'm having a tough time disagreeing with that. I did wonder about his personality/interpersonal skills, but he's been great in the interviews so far. Maybe I was wrong about that, we'll learn more when the real stress hits. But for now, I gotta give him an A. It would be an interesting exercise to view Beckman's first interview, then watch BB's first interview once more. Whew, what a contrast. [/QUOTE]
