[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 893350, member: 2299"] Sometimes. The bigger issue really isn't how we're spending it but how much we are spending. The Hewitt deal was just a dumb decision any way you look at it. Gregory was a cheap hire done bad. Very conservative choice that had no real reward or even potential to really succeed. I'd argue Pastner was a cheap hire done well. The gamble was the issues he had at Memphis were more related to Memphis than him, and that the issues he had there wouldn't be issues here. I'd argue it's paid off even if Pastner isn't the long term guy to lead the program. I'd argue Collins was somewhere in the middle. After the decision was made to go away from the option, there was at least the potential that increased recruiting could yield good results (and realistically we needed to improve recruiting whether we went away from the option or not), and the staff was put together in a way that made sense for that strategy (not just hiring Collins but also putting a staff together that should have been strong recruiters). What makes that hard to firmly nail down is what were the other options. Not just the money, but it's also likely that the prospect of having to deal with the fall out of going away from the option turned people off. Whether going that route was a bad decision or not largely depends on what the alternatives were. One of the reason Pastner's hire was smart in retrospect is that the alternatives that were talked about flamed at (Drew at Vandy and Capel at Pitt). We'll likely not know that. [/QUOTE]
