You have to like that he has fight, that he is working on things to get better and has confidence that he knows what to do and is intent on doing it.
I must share that my reaction to his hire was of confusion. I studied his past places and the idea that he was a leader of the defense at Illinois that was so very good. He has been a lot of places. He hasn't let the grass grow under his feet. I think he learned a lot from Coach Bielema and was important to their team at the time he left. That being said, I am not confident that he can find the support he needs to improve the coaching room now.
In closing, I give him great credit to holding to his faith and not throwing anyone or anything out as excuses for that lack of success the past two years. I think he is a classy guy and hope he finds success in the near future no mater where it is.
