[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 920129, member: 282"] This is a frustrating situation, but 1. the grapevine is really unreliable and we’re not getting a clear picture of what’s going on. The signal-to-noise ratio here is a ton of noise and very little to no signal at all. 2. This isn’t a “making a call” situation. First, the candidates have to accept. Second, we brought him here because we don’t have a war chest, and he’s here to fix that. Making a glamor hire requires a war chest, and he got hired into a tight financial situation AND he’s got to make a head coaching hire with very few resources at his disposal. He’s having to financially and politically McGyver this thing. It’s like the professor trying to get the castaways off of Gilligan’s Island with what he could make out of coconuts and things he found on the beach. If you get brought into Notre Dame as AD and you need to make a hire, you at least have the tools you need to do the job. We had a financial and football coaching dumpster fire when Batt was brought in, and he is missing most of the tools to do his job. Aside from baseball, volleyball, tennis, and golf, Batt got brought into a warehouse of multiple dumpster fires and got handed a squirt gun. It’s possible that boosters are trying to cut off what water supply he has. Keep that in mind. [/QUOTE]
