As many have stated, BOBO knew Brohm was going to leave. He just didn’t know the year. He should have been working the phones 2 years before Brohm left. He should have had a list of 5 potential candidates when Brohm left. I cannot believe Walters was on that list.
When Keady left there was a list of 3 coaches to replace him: Weber, Stallings and Painter. I have to believe Painter also has a list of replacements for when he retires.
Tiller had a list and Hope was on that list.
The decision to hire Walters was a hasty one and made basically because some other school had shown interest. It did not follow a logical selection process.
