Yeah.
The only reason I'm not jumping for joy and saying it's A++.
At the end of the day, when we look up at his record, will it be better than James Franklin's was at Penn State?
And that's not to say Penn State didn't need to make a change and that they didn't need a new voice and that there won't be a lot of great things that happen now with a breath of fresh air there.
But I don't know if he's going to do better than James Franklin did there.
But I do think it's a good hire.
Kyle Whittingham, to Audrey's point, I think is the hire Michigan needed at this moment in time.
He was probably the best plausible option that late in the cycle.
My one fear, if you will, with him is that's a place that chews up and spits out people who are not fits.
And this is a guy who's never coached east of Utah.
He's not your traditional fit.
So I do wonder a little bit about that, as I would have with Sataki at Penn State.
In retrospect, it would have been pretty funny to see those two guys from the Holy War move over to Big Ten country to Big Ten rivals in one cycle.
Pat Fitzgerald I'm fascinated by because –
he's been out of it for a couple of years.
He was as well respected as anybody in the business, but he went four and 20 his last two years of Northwestern, which has been much better than that since he left.
Uh, I also, I think he'll adjust and adapt to the NIL era, the portal era, uh,
Michigan State is obviously supporting him in that program financially.
I will say he's another guy who spent pretty much his entire career at one school in one city that happened to be his home city.
And at Northwestern, as we can see from Doug right here, you're recruiting and coaching the best of the best, mostly choir boys.
